Thanks, everyone, for the kind remarks.

I saw the animals again today. I noticed before what looks like a scar on the neck of the Tiger Snake. I took closeup shots (and cropped) today and think that the scars are the result of ticks. The tiger seems to have several ticks on its neck but I am not certain. I don't know why these would not be engorged engorged after being on the snake for quite some time. They also seem to have barring around the edge of their bodies. Does anyone recognize these?

I found another Sheoak today, this time with a complete tail. These are really beautiful skinks.

... another from a few days ago:

Thanks, Dan. I use a Canon 40D with a Tamron 90mm macro most of the time.

Oh yea I have the 350D, I have a 300mm zoom lens, but it rarely comes in handy, need to get a macro lens.
