The Natrix were all (except for the adult) in the stream shallows and rockpools; the adult was in the weeds around a flooded area. An erythrum were found in habitat reminiscent of La Algaiza, Spain in that there was Cistus crispus and C. sp. present, along with a plant that resemble juniperus phoeniceae. They were mostly in the bed of a dirt road, except for one which had become trapped in the aqueduct!
