OMG!!!!
You have seen more variety on your trip than I have in the 7 years I have lived here in Spain. (CampoCamara in Granada).
I have only seen, 2 whipsnakes, 1 grass snake and one smooth snake...about 40 frogs/toads...and hundreds of Moroccan geckos.
We don?t have a lot of wild life come out in fear of being killed I think.
People in my village stamp on snakes, lizards, beetles etc.
They appreciate nothing!

Wonderful trip, I am so jealous of you.

Take care

Wolf spider...I get the little babies in my bedroom!
They bite.
I once found a huge one outside hunting in the road one night.

Hi,
if you see any ads for Ball Pythons and eggs which can be delivered
to your house please be careful.
The ad is in broken English and they list many colours of the species.
The email address and name details are:
sacrlet lopez" <scarletlopez2009@live.com

They offer to deliver to your airport or door and they want 300 pounds up front and that is even before they tell you what type of Ball python it is or how many eggs or anything.
They just want your money.

I suspect they are Nigerians because a lot of them run ads on animal sites, if the prices sound cheap don?t trust them.

Take care
Melloney

Hi,
I live in Southern Spain and we were looking for frogs with my grandson and we found a HUGE toad, I think it is a female common toad.
The poor thing has swollen legs, one leg has a hole in it (the flesh is pink so it is a good sign) and it has two dark pinky sore marks near each of its eyes.
We never take what we find home we just look then put back but we took this one home.  I thought it may be diseased, but on closer inspection it looks as though something may have grabbed it (a dog or fox maybe).
The toad has healthy skin and bright eyes and it is moving etc...
I need to know the best way to treat its injuries please.
There is no point in asking our local vet because he is a complete idiot with ALL other animals.
Can someone advise me please?

Thank you so much for your time
Melloney
