Found in Rajah Sikatuna National Park, it looks like it has regrown its tail.
Another species that I haven't been able to identify with the online resources I was using, so help appreciated again.
In a small marshy area next to the river I found 3 or 4 different frog species amongst the leaves of over-hanging plants. These ones I saw more on the ground along the path leading to the marsh.
This one was calling next to a small water-filled plastic container in a goats pen.
Jumped across the road as we left Rajah Sikatuna National Park and then bounced away almost as fast.
I found these in most places where I found other frogs and saw a lot along roads between rice paddy fields. Sadly they seem to be very common on Bohol.

Quite different skin coloration from the ones I have found in Hong Kong.
Found between Balicasag Island and Alona Beach, they only stayed on the surface for a minute or so before doing a deep dive. We waited around for 20 mins but we didn't see them again.
Tiny frog that jumped across my path and hid in leaf litter.
It could be several Platymantis species that I have since researched but the colouration didn't match any photos that I found online. Its size and shape also look very similar to a Leptolalax species that I am more familiar with.
Thanks to Arvin Diesmos of Philippine herpwatch.org who identified it as P. corrugatus.
Found in Rajah Sikatuna National Park, I'm uncertain of the id, but P. dorsalis does seem the most appropriate.

These were very common around the guesthouse I was staying in, in fact I'd never seen them in such numbers anywhere else. In one hole there seemed to be two full-sized adults and at least one very small juvenile.

They were calling loudly (whistle-like) hidden within rock crevices and within rotting logs, they seemed to be very common at this location.
Found in the 'Man-made Forest', this one dashed under a boulder very quickly and I wasn't able to get any more shots.
As with many of my Philippine observations I am not 100% on the identification as online information was scarce and I mostly used just one website for research. I think this is the correct id, but please let me know if you think differently.
Found in the 'Man-made Forest', this one was quite bold and let me get in quite close for some shots.

Found next to the Loboc river above a frothy egg mass over a small pond.

In a small marshy area next to the river I found 3 or 4 different frog species, although I believe this is not a rare species I was very excited to find one and wanted to watch it for longer. Unfortunately whilst photographing this one I discovered I'd been standing on an ants nest, they had climbed inside my trousers and were now venting their annoyance on my legs.
Found in the 'Man-made Forest' during the day. I was just there for about an hour and these were the most common lizards I saw.
I haven't been able to identify many of the animals I foundin Bohol yet, so any help is much appreciated.
So far this is the most common snake we have found whilst out at night. We've seen them next to forest trails, in gardens, inside storm drains, on walls, next to road curbs and climbing trees and shrubs.
Found in a storm drain, this little hatchling was less than 20cm long and very docile.
