I'm looking for tree snakes and this lead me to inspect palm trees in the hope of spotting snakes sunning themselves. Instead of snakes, I found other reptiles of the four legged kind all doing what reptiles need to do warm up before they can hunt.
Each palm tree seems to host only one species of reptile for obvious reasons - the hunter and the hunted. There were pairs of Common Gliding Lizards performing their courting rituals.
Also present were the next generation of Clouded Monitors, each palm played host to one baby lizard. I can only guess why there weren't any tree snakes around.
Then there was the odd Gecko as well.
It was interesting to see how each reptile colonized one palm tree each but where were the tree snakes.
