Hawaiian Herps!

[xdeus]

I recently took a vacation on the big island and ran across a few herps. Not shown is a LARGE sea turtle that I came across while snorkeling (no underwater camera).


These turtles were resting on a secluded, small island. We had to swim across a small channel to get to them and unfortunately scared a couple of them back into the ocean.


This little guy (he was about 2 feet long from tail to head) was in a tide pool that may have become stuck during low tide. I'm sure he could have crawled out to the ocean so I'm sure it wasn't a big deal, but a lot of people got some good pictures of him.

These geckos were EVERYWHERE. It's interesting how the colors didn't come back on his re-grown tail.

Thanks for looking!

Those are really cool.

That turtle in the tide pool is really amazing, it looks like a piece of art.

The little gecko is so cute!

I know, I was really surprised how much their colors pop when they're wet. I think part of it was that it was a young turtle, too.

Those are some great photos. I think sea turtles are such graceful animals...

*sigh* I miss Hawaii so much.

I spent a day sitting and watching the turtles sun on Punalu'u beach, and watched them playing in the surf one afternoon at lunch at a different place. They're one of the coolest animals on the planet.

Love the day gecko, those little guys are so cute!

I miss Hawaii so much. I used to go there once a year with my family. The problem is my family is in general morbidly obese and can't enjoy the islands like they should be able to. I was actually made fun of on our trip there over winter break for working out on a vacation.
