Photoshoot this evening :)

For part of Andrew's wedding gift I set a time up with Larry Boyle (Tim Tytle's manager) for Andrew to hand pick a pair of cat geckos...and we have yet to get any photos of them. So tonight I decided to play around with the new lens and get used to it with some not-so-quick geckos. Here are some of the shots that I got. Enjoy :)

Here is the female, trying to look tough in a sleek and elegant kind of way.

and another one of her...

Here is her soon to be mate, I really like his pattern.

As most of you probably know,These guys also have retractable claws. Here is a photo trying to show you one that is partially retracted. In the crevice of the middle toe you can see the claw.

Hope you like them! They are a very neat species. I'm sure we'll have more photos to come, we are having a fun time with the new macro lens.

As always thanks for looking!

Very nice pictures! Small tip, try to get the focus exactly on the eyes, now, the focus is a litle behind them. The pictures will even make more impact that way!

Also, If I where you, I would take a close look om the foot of that animal, the red dot looks a lot like a blood mite, I believe its also names "comon snake mite" in englisch ( Ophionnyssus natricis) It could just be a red scrub, but rule it out just to be sure!

Very nice collouring also on both animals, and I love the pattern on the male!

Thanks for all the compliments guys.

We just moved them from their separate enclosures into a ten gallon aquarium a few days ago...so I guess we will see what hopefully happens next :wink:
