I got to see many different subspecies of Galapos Tortoises, but the only free living ones did I see on Santa Cruz. This picture though is from the Darwin Research Station

There were also Tortoises on Floreana

This picture of the South American Yellow-footed Tortoise is really a shame...

I love this picture of an Yellow-spotted Amazon River Turtle

The same Green Turtle on the beach. I found it by casuality lying there with one flipper under its corp. I called my friends and we brought it back to the water, before it had dehidrated...

A Green Turtle in its element

A got much worse views on the Spectacled Caiman than...

...on the Black Caiman.

Two young Green Iguanas

And an old one

The Santa Fé-Land Iguana looking like a dragon

And another one

Marine Iguana

Look, there is a Darwins Finch on the tail of the hind one (Medium Ground Finch I think)


Three young Marine Iguanas

A Giant Ameiva... Not that Giant I think

Those Black Tegus are really giant! This one measured around 1m

I got to see many, many young Western Basilisk, which I couldn't photograph but saw running across the water until i found this neat guy who was very patient...

Lava Lizards: The left one with the orange throat is a female...

Turniptail Geckos are coooool!

This is one of the few reptiles I didn't identify

A Collared Gecko on a leaf.

Another little lizard I couldn't ID

This one is Anolis chloris. Maybe the first reptile in Ecuador i remind seeing

Anolis aequatorialis i think, but it might be wrong aswell. But Anolis is sure, this individual shows very nicely why...


A Common Neotropical Skink. I hate it for not showing its head!!!

Boddaert's Tropical Racer. A snake species I found twice at the same location

In Tandayapa. This one had caught its meal, a lizard, which I couldn't ID either

I really have no idea on which side the head of this Amazon Tree Boa might be.

A giant (about 3m) Boa constrictor constrictor crossed our way once...

And a much smaller Boa constrictor imperator appeared suddenly in the bibliotheque of our hostel in Puerto Lopez

A young Green Anaconda curled up

this is the head of a much bigger one, probably about 2.5m
