Great pictures, looks like a great trip too.
That Mole Cricket is unreal!!

 

[freddy81]

I will do my best on my next trip to Thailand. We will maby do a 30-40 days trip next time.
About the G.petricolus I think will be a hard gecko to find....but will do my best.
The Mole Cricket is very common down there.....we did find about 200 off thos...=)

Härligaa bilder, ser riktigt skoj ut. Gott om reptiler i Thailand, kan man inte säga direkt här. Ska herpa med några gammla polare i norra Thailand i Oktober, ska bi grymt!.

Great pics! going to Northern Thailand for 3 weeks in October with some friends coming over from Sweden, plenty of herping for sure

About the G.petricolus I think will be a hard gecko to find....but will do my best.

Not hard to find if you drive about 700 KM
from the Ang Thong province you´ve been
towards the east.:idea:
