Welcome to club100.net
Hi there,
We're a couple of Swedes with a strong interest in European Field Herpetology, i.e. we like to travel
all across Europe to study frogs, lizards, newts, salamanders, turtles, tortoises, snakes, geckos and
chameleons in their natural habitats.
We take a lot of photographs, record sounds and gather knowledge on where and how to find the different
species. There are roughly 200 different species to be found in Europe and we're now roughly half way
(hence the name of the site) to having seen them all :-) Over the years the twitching (when you observe a species that you have not previously seen) of species have kind of grown on us and we now plan our holidays to parts of Europe where we are likely to find the most new species...
To us the beauty of these animals lies in observing them in the wild and that's why the conservation and restoration
of natural habitats is an important issue to us.
The purpose of this site is to provide a meeting place for European field herpetology enthusiasts. We also want
to share our photos, sounds and stories and hope that You want to do the same.
Send an email to the
webmaster
if You have additions, comments or suggestions.
Happy Surfing / club100

Some bad news and some encouraging... The bad news first - the juvenile Lissotriton montadoni photographed by Per in Romaina turned out to be a Salamandra salamandra... The encouraging one is that several people has pointed this out to us, which must mean they visit club100.net and also care about it's content. Thank you!
October 7, 2008
Long time - no posts. The webmaster has relocated to a new house and has been busy all summer. There has been some activity and there are some reports to be published. Anders has also found an old photo of Vipera latastei. Hope to be back soon.

We say hello to Calotriton arnoldi, welcome to club100.net. We would also like to mention the 2007 Stockholm Herpetological Symposium. The theme for the talks this year will be "European Herpetofauna" and although the focus (as usual) seems to be on keeping the animals in captivity
a field hepethologist may well find them interesting :-)
November 12, 2006
Due to relocation of the webmaster from Cambridge, UK, to Uppsala, Sweden, there have been no updates to the club100.net website for quite some time now. However, the
necessary IT-infrastructure is now in place and I will pursue the updating activities. We start with a new species, namely Iberolacerta galani.
