Frog versus snake
Last night I went up to Mt Glorious with some friends to see what we could see. We walked down to a set of waterfalls. On the way down we saw lots of great barred frogs (Mixophyes fasciolatus) and a golden-crowned snake (Cacophis squamulosus). We were heading down to the waterfall to look for Litoria chloris and L. pearsoniana. We ended up seeing something much more interesting than either species by itself.

What a great and funny post. Found this through David Reed’s (reedysreptiles.com) website, and this is just brilliant. I’m going to back track and look at all your very clear and fantastic photos! What a great blog.
