Viridian's reptile theme proved harder than I thought and I have had to show some stamps for a second time.
This one from Australia was included before with several other wildlife stamps so deserves an outing on its own.

| Saltwater Crocodile - Australia |
You can read about crocodylus porosos here. . The stamp was issued in 1994.
The marine iguana on the next stamp was part of a 2009 set to commemorate the bicentenary of the birth of Charles Darwin.

| Marine Iguana - Great Britain |
And as Viridian also allowed amphibians this week I thought the common frog from from the Europa Pond Life series deserved to be seen.

| Common Frog - Great Britain 2001 |
One of my daughter's dogs spends a lot of time trying to catch Rana clamitans (the American Green Frog) - I wonder whether she would be interested in a common frog from Britain.
The European Green Lizard (Lagarto verde; scientific name lacerta viridis) appears on a stamp issued in 1974.

| European Green Lizard - Spain |
To my surprise I did not find a stamp showing a snake of any kind. To see whether anyone else, has try the links at Sunday-Stamps-185 where there is another green lizard on view.

I don't remember this Spanish lizard (a bit old for me!). I like especially your swimming frog.
I don't remember the 2001 frog at all. I rather like it.
Crocodile stamps always remind me of the Wally Gator cartoon (even though he is an alligator :))

I like the little frog, it's rather cute. Did you know you can swim with salt water crocs. Not that I have any intention of ever trying, but that's what my Aussie friends tell me.
My favorite is the first stamp with the crocodiles.
These are really pretty stamps. I like the frog one the best.
