Namibia: Some Lizards and Landscapes

For me doing the research is half the fun of keeping my geckos. I really like to have a terrarium setup that replicates the natural environment of my lizards; this is as much (or more) for my benefit as for the creatures themselves.

One way to do this research is to check the climate conditions of the places the lizards come from. Another is to take a look at their landscapes. I thought I'd share some pics of the latter with you, since I co-teach a University class in Namibia each year. These pictures represent regions in central Namibia around the capital city of Windhoek (the lush landscape), the central plateaus of Damaraland, and the rugged areas of northwestern Namibia, in the Kaokoveld.

We have an article coming out in Gecko Time this Tuesday (Oct. 25) about field herping in Namibia, presumably by your co-teacher Tom Wilson? More great photos there.

Whoops! I had second thoughts as soon as I hit the "send" button. I just have this automatic thought that screen names that end in "a" are female. At any rate, looking forward to everyone seeing your article.
