Last month I went to Gordons Bay for a several days on holiday. Whilst there, I could not pass up the opportunity to herp... if even for a day, and so I went through to Franschoek with @bush_cow to find the beautiful, yet elusive, hawaqua flat gecko. Suffice to say, we found it and although the photo you see is only a phone photo, its easy to see why this gecko is considered among the most beautiful in the area.

Last weekend I did my second 'critter walk' in Grahamstown, Eastern Cape. The event was well received and saw quite a few people touching a snake for the first time. The aim of the day was to expose the locals to the amazing herpetological diversity that surrounds them, with the hope of positively impacting snake conservation in the area. Thanks to @gingerfishshell for helping with both the snake demonstration and the reptile walk, on the day.
