My daughters Christmas gift. She is much too small and young to handle yet, so this one is through the aquarium using the sony 828, +2+4 Hoya close up filters, and the heat lamp as the light source.

    Laughing.gif - what would shipping be? These guys are $90 cdn if less than 4 inches long, and the price increases from there!

    This one will eat veggies from our hand already, and prefers her crickets delivered to her basking branch!

    I think we will enjoy her, as long as the cats and dog don't first!mwink.gif

    Nice shots. I'm deathly scared of anything that look like these, so I'm so appreciative of viewing them from the safety of my computer. TFS! clap.gif

    Well, Hummy - no cockroaches here - too cold for them. No snails either - too dry. Possibly will have slugs, though, in July and August - depending on the summer.

    Can't imagine what a 2 footer would bring - the 6 - 8 inch ones are $150.00 each!

    Another dragon, another lens?????

    There was one a few hours north of here that was 120 cm long..thats nearly 4 feet. Have to get a horse float to move him. Try your lizard on a bit of banana..he may like it.
