Journal Title: Ecologia Balkanica - Year 2011, Vol 3, Issue 1
Abstract
During our field work in the Tepeler Village (Ardahan, Turkey) on 27th of August 2010, we observed hatchlings of [i]Darevsika valentini[/i]. The mean body length of was found as 28.06±1.14 (25.3 30.4) and the total length as 70.81±3.92 (61.9 81.0). Juveniles were generally observed under stones and those portions of the roots of annual herbaceous plants which remain under stone are also used as shelters for juveniles. Neonates on the southern slopes of the hills could be individually seen and mostly, individuals aggregated [median number of individuals, 6 (115)] and lived in groups.
