The Gecko looks like a New Caledonian Giant Cave Gecko Rhacodactylus leachianus

Great Pix Hix,
I love the Tegus
You've got a Gargoyle Gecko (Rhacodactylus auriculatus) there.

 

[Hickson]

Gargoyle Gecko, that's right! Just couldn't remember.

And to everyone who likes the photos - thanks, but you should see the rejects (I hate dealing with glass). That perentie one was the only one of about ten attempts that looked half decent. And the others of the Roughscale weren't any good either.

But I'm glad you enjoyed these ones!

No a Cunningham, It was a great day, everyone had a good time with plenty of "behind the scenes tours" as there are more animals behind closed doors as there is on display!

Brilliant pics Hix. The King Cobra looks nasty lol but that Perentie is gorgeous!!

That's the joy of digital cameras, you can take as many pics as you want and not worry about the bad ones.

:cry: I miss my veiled chameleon so much.... amazing how quickly you get attached to the little buggers. Last time I heard he was doing awesome, had grown into a handsome young man who lived in a huge tank, had a lovely wife and was very happy.

Awesome pics, loved the albino cobra as well, just gorgeous!

Cheers

i love perenties (m6y 2nd favourite animal) it is gorgess and the cunningham is doing its thing like always

 

[Chrisreptile]

awesome pics

 

[Hickson]

Yeah, lots of people adore Perenties but they don't do that much for me. I just took that photo because it was in a nice pose, and I saw the curved glass window as a photographic challenge! A challenge that took me a dozen attempts (pics) to overcome!
