Shedding reptiles



Snakes alive

I came across this snake skin while I was pruning my plectranthus - made me wake up to the fact that I blunder around my garden never thinking I might stumble across a snake. My partner always insists we keep the lower half of the stable doors of our house closed, to prevent snakes from entering the house. It took a bit of getting used to - coming from Johannesburg, you understand. A few weeks after I found this snake skin, I found another - from a puff adder - under the drain cover next to my back door. Right. Now we know. Keep the door closed.

Gecko in the garage

This tiny gecko was on the garage floor. It was quite comical to watch it wriggling on its back to loosen the skin. Unfortunately it took off before the skin was fully shed. Can anyone tell me what kind of gecko it is?
