Life on the road my man, there is a part two coming! ESwatini, Berg adders, tiger snakes and then Zululand. Thanks for watching 🤝🫡

[@deanboshoff6849]

Excellent video. That first egg eater is stunning!

[@ilonak7847]

It was so nice to take this walk with you!

[@TyronePingHerpingSouthAfrica]

Thanks for watching!

[@karl3401]

Yes finally. Please do more.

You are at the northeastern portion of South Africa, that is why the environment suddenly looks so green, lively and conducive to life. Nice habitat and the insect sound I heard should probably be cicadas. Nice and unexpected little monitor and green snake. I have never heard of the bark snake before. A different snake. Have you ever come across a cycad? I am looking forward too then but it is only palms.

[@TyronePingHerpingSouthAfrica]

This was in the north eastern corner of South Africa on the Zimbabwe border. The eastern bark snake also called Mopani snakes, they are locally abundant just difficult to find. See many cycad in the northern parts.

Congratulations on the bark snake find. That is fantastic!

[@TyronePingHerpingSouthAfrica]

been high on my list! in the end turns out they were pretty easy to find in the right habitat.

[@James-KL]

[@TyronePingHerpingSouthAfrica]

Sjoe the long awaited return of the king

[@TyronePingHerpingSouthAfrica]

Part two is get to come son.

[@nepaleseman1010]

Beautiful habitat and some interesting reptiles. I thought the Puff adder was very striking.

[@TyronePingHerpingSouthAfrica]

Thanks man! Puff adders are really great such a variable species.

Awesome trip! Love the Bark snake! I did a stint at a bush lodge in Zambia (where I'm from) and for 4 months i was incredibly lucky to see around 3 Bark snakes a week. There were all over, probably seeing some of the same individuals over. Thats memory I'll never forget

[@TyronePingHerpingSouthAfrica]

they’re such an interesting species! locally abundant but locating then can be tough. That one was the first piece of bark I peeked behind! thanks for watching :)

[@shaynaasherwood]

@@TyronePingHerpingSouthAfrica indeed a very interesting species. Thankfully i didn't have to look hard where the camp was located. Glad the luck was with you and under that first bit of bark! 😁

[@smetlogik]

Crazy amount of butterflies. Bark snake under bark? That's legit. Little dog hanging out with the mambas and cobras. 😬 Can't get over the diversity of snakes and the colors of the lizards down your way. Not to mention the habitat. Another good one.

[@TyronePingHerpingSouthAfrica]

cheers man! the tiniest snippet to the two week trip with a bunch of others so filming took a back seat. there’s a part two and we have some good stuff. 🙌

[@smetlogik]

@@TyronePingHerpingSouthAfrica I feel that vibe, a lot of our clips end up in the archives and never see the light of day. Looking forward to part 2

[@Herping_with_Liam_and_Sean]

I always love seeing those sand snakes last time I saw them I Stepped in a large thorn. I live in Pretoria but have never seen any brown house snakes which is sad because I love them.

[@jonparker6574]

What's the name of that lizard? I couldn't fully understand what you said. The bush ___ lizard?

[@jonparker6574]

[@TyronePingHerpingSouthAfrica]

@@jonparker6574 Bushveld Lizard. "veld" is am Afrikaans word meaning bushlands or basically a dry scrunbby enviroment here in Southern Africa. It's pronoouced velt like the material - hoope that clears that up!

[@eddieharris8547]

Why you quit putting species names? It's hard to understand your accent. What season there? Got 4 months left of herpless winter here

[@smetlogik]

He does put photos/names at the end which is pretty cool though.

[@TyronePingHerpingSouthAfrica]

like the 🐐 mentioned below names are at the end of the video. thanks for watching.
