I’ve been in Socotra for a month, joining a field expedition aimed at deepen the informations about the ecology and taxonomy of the herpetofauna of the island, under the Socotra Conservation and Developmet Project (SCDP). Thus, the time spent shooting has been shorter than you might expect but I’ve been still able to collect pictures of most herp species. Moreover, I’ve also taken some pics of other species, ranging from Caralluma (meat stinking flowers) to spiders and scorpions.
