Unique Sulawesi frog gives birth to tadpoles
By Herp News

One species that has internal fertilization, a fanged frog from the island of Sulawesi in Indonesia, has been observed to give direct birth to tadpoles, which is unique among amphibians.

Monkey sleep, monkey do: how primates choose their trees
By Herp News
Primates don’t monkey around when deciding where to spend the night, but primatologists have had a poor grasp on what drives certain monkeys toward specific trees. Now, two extensive studies of Indonesian primates suggest that factors in selecting trees each evening are site-specific and different for each species—and that some overnight spots result in conflicts between monkeys and humans.

Mangroves oil spill destroying herps, other wildlife
An oil spill in the world’s largest mangrove forest has killed many animals, and will have an impact for years to come.
From the Daily Star:
Animals have started to die. The water hyacinths on the two rivers have turned black. Some Golpata trees have gone under heavy layers of oil.
One local, Abu Jafar, spotted two animals — a monitor lizard and an otter — dead and smeared with oil along the banks of the Shela.
Meanwhile, the authorities pulled the sunken oil tanker ashore around 11:00am yesterday, some 30 hours after the accident. But all the 3.58 lakh litres of furnace oil the tanker had been carrying already spilled into the rivers and the adjacent cannels.

The cinnamon corns of Levy County
“Corn snake!”
“Where?”
“My side about 3 feet off the road”
I slammed on the brakes and Jake, piling out of the car, ran back about 40 feet and stooped to pick up a 30″ long corn that I would never have seen. Young eyes are good! And Jake’s eyes, having the image of a snake burned time again on the retina are super in seeing off-the-road serpents.
Actually, neither Jake nor I had any particular need for a corn snake, Pantherophis guttatus guttatus. We just happened to be in Levy County hoping to hear ornate chorus frogs (a species that is becoming difficult to find). Having arrived an hour or so before dusk, and since temperatures were still fairly warm, we decided to roadhunt for a while before heading for the swamps and marshes.
So far we had seen 2 crossing garter snakes of the blue-striped variety, a cottonmouth, and now this corn snake. We always enjoy taking photos, so a few minutes were spent doing so.
The corn snakes of western Levy County are rather distinctive, very pretty, and well worth photographing. The ground color is cinnamon, the saddles are crimson and are accentuated fore, aft, and on the sides by a few black scales that are themselves preceded by a variable number of white scales.
Did we need them? No. But they are just too pretty to pass by without at least a second glance. We could only hope that the hunt for chorus frogs would be this successful.
