Arachnids!
Most of these should be individual specimens though a couple may be the same spider. There were so many of them down there. It seems every turn there was a burrow in some areas.





























My wife's first attempt at teasing out a spider. Looks like it worked!





How many have found wld Ts this tiny?


This male was drumming at the base of a tree. He eventually cleared out some brush and exposed a female's burrow. I have video of them mating and I'll post that once it is edited.

The turkish gecko is introduced. The one that looks like a juvie leopard gecko is actually an adult (Coleonyx sp.) that is native to the area.
