Sumbawa Roadkill


, originally uploaded by m_hagen.

The roadkill in Sumbawa is pretty interesting... None of the normal furry stuff you see around southern California. While riding the motorbike to Dompu today I saw 2 monitor lizards - Flat! One of em was really big. About 4 feet long. I'm sure the bus or truck loaded with rice bounced a little when it nailed it.
Riding with Rich last week, we saw a flat boa constricter that was about 6 feet long and then almost ran over a really long, bright lime green snake that was slithering across the road in front of us.
At least it gives us a chance to get up close and personal with animals we'd normally would run from. Surf has been great here at Lakey. Overhead to 3X overhead everyday for the past two weeks. The twinnie has been dry most of the time...
