"Herping" in Sweden

[Rotto]

Herping in Sweden can be kind of a challenge, since we have so few species of herps...

I toke this photos on my last trip to "Skurugata", a beautiful area in the highlands of south Sweden. Didn't find any herps, so i guess its a bit of topic :evil:, but i thought I'd share them anyway... My dog and girlfriend got to pose in some of the photos.

Canyon...

Thanks for the replies.
The most common reptile species to find i guess is:

Snakes
Vipera berus
Natrix natrix

Lizards
Lacerta vivipara
Anguis fragilis

Hi Rotto!

Love the pics...
I spent a lot of my time growing up with my grandmother in Eksjö...
And I have climbed up to Skuruhatt a couple of times when I was a child!

Thank you so much for bringing memorys back

That's beautiful country, the scenery would make up for the disappointment of not finding any herps. Why did that first picture give me the urge to go mushroom picking?

 

[Rotto]

Ahh yes, its been a excellent mushroom year!

Certainly dont feel bad about not having any herp pics. I often enjoy looking at scenery and habitat pics more than herp pics anyways. It looks like those hill sides should just be crawling with herps.
