12 February 2025: Due to family commitments and work, I have been unable to update this website and realise it is long overdue for an update. I will start updating the different pages as an overhaul after a long decade hiatus, especially considering how its focus and niche on the Internet will change.

In addition to English, I can also communicate in standard Chinese and Korean. Although I cannot promise I will have time to translate the entire website into Chinese and Korean eventually, I am happy to assist you in Chinese or Korean if you leave a message in the Forums.

Okinawa Main Island

11 March 2017

In 2016, I only explored the southern half of Okinawa Main Island. This year, I explored the northern and central areas too. The weather in March was still cool. Last year when I visited Okinawa in April, it was much warmer. I found a population of C. rugosus with a small number of C. purpureus in a small beach in Onna.

I went to Okinawa World last year, but did not enter the habu snake exhibit. This exhibited displayed a wide variety of reptiles and to my complete surprise, even a land hermit crab display! The crabs were a bit overcrowded, but at least the environment was warm and humid. There was a jumbo C. brevimanus and C. cavipes in there. I also saw C. rugosus and C. purpureus in there, but no C. violascens or C. pseudorugosus.
