just watch this

python hunting in Ghana. its really green, seedlings growing everywhere. yes you get dry days, but the green near the horizon tells you that agriculture works without adding any water. in the video, the other guys that accompany Stefan Broghammer actually poach two wild clutches and interact with both wild females, and they got both from a termite mound. if you dont want to watch it all, just check above video and skip through it to check the landscape and local agriculture, and then jump to 21:15. that will show you how they pull the second clutch, from a wild female, out of a thermite mound. they handle the wild female like a pet.

it obviously didnt rain for a few days, but its obviously humid year-round, with all the green seedlings and stuff growing from everywhere, and as soon as they cut into the soil, you can see that it is moist. Stefan Broghammer also repeatedly takes temperature readings of everything with a compact infrared thermometer, in celsius/centigrade, you can see him going down in the dirt and putting his arm into the cavity as deep as he can to get a reading.

semi-desert my a**, i mean, behind. thats like ireland, just with more sun and warmer. green is the default color. lots of evaporation, and each night, condensation everywhere, you can lick distilled water from leaves every morning.
