Despite working like Rolf Harris press secretary, I managed to get a couple of hours off work and wanted to visit one of my local sites, where there is a population of melanaistic zootoca.
The weather was extremely hot, and the lizards were very skittish, only one melanistic zootca was seen, no pictures were taken as the little fella proved too flighty.. however the normal phase zootoca were a little more accomadating..
I was also lucky enough to spot this little beauty.. a nice reddish individual
I look forward to some proper herping later in the year.
Kind rergards
