Hi
So it is my 4rd day in Turkey. Flight was unpleasant because someone was pushing my seat from behind in a plane and behind me there were very noisy women. The first day was about reaching hotel, filling stomach and going to sleep. On the second day I explored a bit. First hotel grounds. So I spotted 2x Trachemys scripta elegans in an artificial pond which hosted also fish and Pelophylax bedriagae (only heard).
Trachemys scripta elegans
its habitat
Then, since it was sunny, I found Hatay Lizard on a palm tree in hotel grounds.
I left hotel. When I was going along edge of bush there were many Hatay Lizards scurrying to hide away under bush. I reached stony banks of river and I spotted young Platyceps cf. najadum but unfortunately it hid immediately among stone and I was unable to find him again the following day.
But there were also Hatay Lizards and Starred Agamas. At the opposite bank under trash I found Bufotes variabilis.
adult Hatay Lizard and young and adult Starred Agamas.
Then I left city and again heard Pelophylax bedriagae from a river. Tried to flip Lycian salamanders but they don't reach so east it seems.
The following day I tried to find Anatololacerta lizards so i left city and but I failed it seems. But I found tiny empty eggs under a stone. ID needed. EDIT: it is Mediodactylus kotschyi cf. danilewskii
habitat
Today I tried to find Lycian salamanders near Kemer, it was slightly raining but I did not find any! I only found a killed snake. Is it a Cat Snake? EDIT: it is Telescopus fallax syriacus
