Description: Newborn skink has the sense not to tangle with the well-armed spider-hunting wasp. They sized each other up for a second, gave a little space, and continued their separate ground hunts for prey

Description: There were two eggs laid side by side. After one hatched, I carefully forced the one shown in these pictures to hatch as well. The baby gecko was completely alert, fast and independent the moment it escaped from the egg.

Description: Difficult to guess it's actual length but lying like that it was about 30 cm, so not large. I was less than a metre away from when I noticed it and it was just lying still and never moved. Just another reminder to look where you put your feet. It was overcast and just starting to drizzle so maybe it was cold?

Description: Fine colony of heavy-set Striped Skinks at rockery on entrance to CrocWorld. Interesting that no Variable Skinks (very common along the KZN south coast) were in evidence. Suggests the bigger Striped are territorial and don't tolerate them.

Description: Sorry for poor photos, but I'm nonetheless thrilled that I managed to get a photo at all. The dog ran over this snake, who then puffed itself up and reared a little before heading off for the undergrowth. Not very big, 30 - 40cm.

Description: Sudden loud squeals while we were having our lunch, a dark shape in the undergrowth just outside our front door, quick retreat up the keurboom, staring contest until he could hold it no longer, back down to finish his frog, up again to hang around fatly for a bit, then disappeared to where every stick now resembles a boomslang... yay!
