Malabar Pit Viper
One of the Malabar Pitvipers we saw on night hikes in rainforests of Karnataka, India. Convergently, they were very similar in appearance and behavior to arboreal vipers I’ve seen in Central and South America.
Bamboo Viper At Night
One of several Bamboo Vipers found on steep hillsides in Karnataka, India, a couple of years back.
Malabar Pitviper
A Malabar Pitviper from southern India a couple of years ago on a wet night in the Western Ghats. After seeing a few of them, the convergent similarities in form and behavior with new world vipers, like the eyelash vipers, is amazing.
Baby Indian Cobra
A baby Indian Cobra we found along a canal in Bangalore, India. This little one was so small you could see its heard beating through its belly. Turned away, it’s doing its best to tell us to get lost. After a few photos, we did.
South Indian Rock Agama
This brightly colored South Indian Rock Agama was among the first reptiles we saw on a visit to India. For scale, it’s about the size of a bearded dragon, which most people are familiar with.
