The Gecko of Saz's looks like he has had a finger nail and blackboard experience!

re Photo

Saz's gecko is very clear and it has personality

 

[Saz]

Thanks guys...Zulu...he sure does have personality...his name is Mr Crankypants because he is ALWAYS cranky!!

 

[Davem54]

A water dragon

 

[alexr]

I just took the picture OK

 

[aussiesnakelover]

Saz your geko is awsome!

 

[zen]

Good stuff people 8)

That's a gorgeous little Woma Zulu.


Dave, your shot of that female Eastern Water Dragon is a good one. The females are usually much harder to approach than males. Very shy & wary creatures at the best of times. Nice field work!

I just took the picture OK

Alex, is this a disclaimer re the pink bow. :wink:
Being responsible for that would be grounds for some serious bagging :lol:
Very cute and a terrific shot as well.
Male & female Central Beardies I assume.

 

[NinaPeas]

cute shot alexr! The pink bow is just fabulous!

I wonder what species of gecko Ether has posted, does anyone know?
Great close-up 8)
Ether, if you're out there, you'd be the best one to ask.


Saz, your gecko is a Nephrurus amyae. Is that right?


I assume Chanty's brilliantly colourful Bearded Dragon is a Pogona vitticeps.
The more I look at that beard the more subtle colours I see Very beautiful!

 

[Saz]

Yes, he is my adult male amyae, grouchy little so and so. There are some really great pics! I love the bow! How cute! That netted has great colour.

[NaughtyByNature]

Great pic's , I would hate to be picking the best there is so many great ones

 

[zen]

Thanks for the confirmation there Saz.

That's a brilliant shot you've taken of that spirited character. It's a CLASSIC !

So far we've got 15 entries. We can take up to another 5.
Any more entries?

 

[Saz]

Glad you like it, he is a character for sure. I have posted this before, but thought you might find this funny!! It was taken just after that picture was taken.

:lol: :lol: :lol: Thanks for the great insight into the complete threat display.
I suppose you must have got him on the up part of a cycle.
Great timing and even more impressive if that's the case.

Talk about huffing & puffing. I've never seen anything like it before.
He must've been hyperventilating after that.
Maybe that's why he ran off, he got dizzy. :lol:

What camera did you use? It's very crisp!

 

[Retic]

I just like the attitude of this snake.

 

[Saz]

He's a really silly bugger, he'll be doing it to me whilst looking out of the side of his tank on feed night without me even facing him. It's the same thing every time, he does the push ups which is obviously completely terrifying, and then once he has decided the push up tactic isn't working, he grunts like a pig and makes a dash for the nearest hide. My others don't do the threat displays at all. They are a very nervous species by nature, so they are all what I would call 'jumpy', but not aggressive like this fella.

He has bitten me, but it doesn't hurt, much to his dismay!

The camera is a Kodac Easyshare, it's not the best, but it does what I need it to do.

:0)

 

[zen]

That's a winner Boa. 8)

I like that alot.
Did you get nailed just after you pressed the shutter? :lol:


Thanks for the camera specs there Saz.
It's not what you've got but how you use it.

 

[Retic]

Thanks, no I didn't get bitten but that is probably the only time he hasn't managed to get me :lol:

 

[zen]

8) That's a gorgeous specimen Boa.
What type of Jungle is it?

 

[Retic]

It's a Tully/Atherton cross (ah shock horror ) I only bought it because I liked it's colour and pattern.
It has grown into a very nice snake but it has the usual Jungle temperament.
