That's all folks! Well, I still have a few species I need to identify, though due to how slow my progress has been on my trip review and posting photos, I might not get those done for a long time and maybe not even until after this challenge ends (fingers crossed before then, though). For now, though, this is my total

~Thylo

After a chat with zg I realized I have seen two more species! The first from Newquay Bluereef Aquarium and the second from Hamerton:

215) Florida Red-Bellied Cooter Pseudemys nelsoni

216) Eastern Bearded Dragon Pogona barbata

~Thylo

 

[MagpieGoose]

Hope you have not been believing ztl for this,because if you have its wrong.As they dont keep the species what they do have Red-bellied Cooter (Pseudemys rubriventris).

Sorry ZG, my mistake again

So after a visit to Cotswolds and Crocs of the World my final total and due to some doubts over the Gerrhosaurus skoogi at Borth Zoo, I have replaced it with the Gerrhosaurus major which I saw during both my visits.

I would like to thank Shorts for creating such a great challenge I have enjoyed it so much and have gained knowledge on reptiles, a animal which I had never really taken any interest in before. Also I would like to thank zoogiraffe and all the others who have corrected me on all the mistakes I have made, but I can only keep on learning and hopefully next year I will have a mistake free year! (Everything crossed!) I will just finish off the year with my duplicate taxa, which will be up very soon!

I think everyone that has taken part would like to Shorts for setting it!

Also we all make mistakes and that includes me as even I haven't been trouble free as I have counted things twice more than once!!

We are all still learning or at least we should be,also I think many of us have found ztl is not very good to follow,and even the signage cannot always be trusted example Lintons Carpet Python!!

Final couple of question's with regards to your visit to CWP did you not see the Fiji Banded Iguanas and how many Green Tree Monitors did you see?

No problem, glad you've enjoyed it and I'm really pleased the challenge's opened your mind a bit more to reptiles. Without sounding too patronising or high minded (hopefully) I'm always hoping the challenge will expand "players" knowledge or experiences of zoos or animals (as well as being a little competitive fun).

Don't worry though, I don't think you'll make any identification mistakes on the 2017 challenge (details in a day or so) unless you're playing it blind drunk (obviously with a very understanding designated driver).

I would have to look back at the photos which are on my laptop but I have lost the charger and its gone dead Are the Green Tree Monitors the ones straight on as you walk in (by the Tarantulas and Beaded Lizard, if so that enclosure was being cleaned or something as all the animals and aesthetics of the enclosure had been emptied

Yes the Green Tree Monitors are in that one pity because if you had seen both it could have been interesting.If you have seen the Fijians I suggest you check my list again and you will see why!!
