I am incredibly jealous of your reptile pictures! I try to produce images like these but they don't seem to come out like this. Nicely captured! Posted 11 years ago

  Thank you.
  
  I have no secrets, can only give a few tips.
  • Much much much much much patience! :)
  • Take pictures if possible in the morning.
  • The animals tapping on certain poses with a snake hook, a thin branch or blades of grass. Then they sit mostly. NEVER use your hands!!!
  • Watch out for the own shadow!!! Posted 11 years ago
