This is the most exciting thing Ive read in ages. Im about to explode with the amount of questions I have for you, but lets start with just a few.
Do you often see adult Boscs as compared to the younger ones?
If so, is there a difference in habitat/location/surroundings?

Re: new here from ghana
OH, you mean you have loads of pictures of the scenery that Wayne was looking for.
Awwww, I thought you meant loads of pictures of Bosc monitors. Not that the scenery pictures arent helpful, of course.

Re: new here from ghana
sorry, scenery pictures.
we are actually in the bush / forest very often with different type of vegetation, often very dense and "original"
but we do not see many snakes, probably we move too noisily. seen some pythons, puff adders and mambas, but the one in the pics is a first. We often see however snake skins or sometimes find dead snakes. They look rather dead, have never really tested that. :-)
what about the attached? is that more like you are looking for?

Re: new here from ghana
I know right where Accra is, I have a link to the Accra weather station on my web site.
Thanks again for posting more pictures.

Re: new here from ghana
Most welcome, will post more, but need to go through my pics first.
What about my snake? Anyone recognizes anything? Or is the picture not clear enough or lacking details?

The picture is distant, I looked up brown snakes in Ghana and came up with a couple possibilities.
Afronatrix anoscopus - African Brown Water snake.
or an African House snake (Lamprophis fuliginosus)

Re: new here from ghana
Thanks a lot, I know it is difficult to say anything from this picture alone. Regarding the location we were in, I would rather opt for the Brown Water snake. Makes sense somehow. :-)
