Spear Point Leaf Gecko
Uroplatus ebenaui
Uroplatus ebenaui inhabits relatively dry, lowland deciduous forests. These environments can be quite warm, with average maximum temperatures reaching around 29 °C during the rainy season and about 25 °C in the dry season. However, temperatures at the forest level—where these geckos live—are typically cooler.
They are most often found 1–5 meters above the ground. Nocturnal by nature, they hunt insects at night and remain largely inactive during the day. For camouflage, they rest flattened against tree trunks or among dry foliage, blending seamlessly with their surroundings.
Hognose
Heterodon
The western hognose snake uses its upturned snout to burrow through the soil in search of toads, which make up the bulk of its diet. It also eats frogs, lizards, mice, birds, snakes, and reptile eggs, showcasing a diverse palate.
Although harmless to humans, this snake employs slightly toxic saliva to help subdue its prey. Its venom flows down enlarged rear teeth, assisting in the capture and digestion of its meals.
