Hey Mell,

Well, I use a Nikon D200 + 18-200mm VR lens + Nikon R1 Macro Lighting Kit.
I just have white or coloured cardboard behind the reptile and a lot of patience!

Settings depend on the available light at the time but I usually shoot in Aperture Priority mode and choose the Aperture depending on how much of the animal I want in focus or the angle I'm shooting at. Basically I take a LOT of photos and then choose the best from that.
After that a bit of post on the computer to correct colour and crop if necessary and voila!

Oh, and a couple of years of fiddling around and learning from mistakes - I'm self taught so there were plenty of mistakes to learn from - haha!

Congratulations Shannon, it's an award well deserved. Just great pics. That you are self-taught makes the achievement even more special I think!
Bloody good on ya!
