Wanted, photos of Perenties and Desert Death Adders

[Hetty]

Hi guys

Need a few photos for a uni assignment, full credit will be given. I'm needing photos that relate to reproduction (in any way) but I'm getting desperate so I'll take anything, especially if anyone has photos of Perenties.

Natural type photos would be better, but if the photos are appropriate then I'll probably use them. They have to be a decent size and nice, clear images.

Cheers

Thanks guys

Anyone got some pyrrhus for me?

Gee, those perenties look funny on green grass,

 

[Hetty]

Yes, I was thinking the same thing. I'll have to use photos on sand because it's a 'desert' assignment.
