That adult aurora got everyone drooling, nice finds! Love that B. pumilum phenotype too!

You find the most fascinating and beautiful critter.

Well, I'll jump on the aurora bandwagon, stunner. I could smell that slug eater through the screen. No lie. Nice spot on that chameleon in the yellow flowers.

It’s a good wagon to be on man!

[@shaynaasherwood]

What a cool video and nice finds, but that beauty of an Aurora stole almost everyone's attention! she definitely deserved your reaction hahaha!

[@TyronePingHerpingSouthAfrica]

Snakes are the coolest animals ever

[@Herping_with_Liam_and_Sean]

Wow what a banger, still trying to find a Aroura

[@DavidHoward-y4l]

thankyou for posting interesting videos and you teavh me so much about animals! Where you are looks so beautiful!

[@TyronePingHerpingSouthAfrica]

Thank you, glad you enjoy them! This was all seen in Cape Town, South Africa.

Nice exceptional aurora house snakes. The second one would be even more stunning out of shed. The grass snake is beautiful as well. Most of the time I don’t notice it that much. Also the name creates confusion with the European grass snake, which is semiaquatic. Nice dwarf tortoises and chameleons of course. All those expansive South African grasslands seem perfect ungulate grazing grounds. I imagine impenetrable herds in the past. I don’t know if this situation benefited reptiles though.

[@TyronePingHerpingSouthAfrica]

Thanks! They’re a great species, funny you mention the area is absent of the large herbivores but some parts is land is grazed by cattle and in the areas where the cattle are is where you get some uncommon frog species which breed in the disturbed land.

thank you for sharing

[@TyronePingHerpingSouthAfrica]

Thanks for watching!

If I had a house and a garden in SA and there were lots of house snakes and slug eater snakes and mole snakes, would they attract venomous snakes?

[@thowes]

Funny how the camera has a tough time focusing on the chameleon. I guess it's doing a good job blending in!

[@TyronePingHerpingSouthAfrica]

Canera and I! Terrible lighting at midday in full sun unfortunately.
