There's nothing else to do but mess with the things that don't hibernate. At least I managed to put in some practice and get decent enough at using my camera for when the tegu wakes up. It's actually pretty active in the animal room when I have a ton of things that come from more temperate/tropical zones.

I have many more pictures that I really should get to cropping and uploading, but these will do for now. There's a bunch of closeups of their tarsi (foot equivalent) and claws that I used as a test of my macro lens's zoom capability.

disgusting, i want more! nasty vile little things, you're camera skills are unserpassed good sir. may i ask the brand of device that takes such stunning macro shots?

i love the subtle colors in some of the photo's; the reflection in the spiders eye, the metallic rainbow on the tarsi foot, the fact that i felt the need to comb the greenbottle spiders hair. the so obvious Cop Moustache on the blond spider.

how did you get the background to be such a solid black?

you need to breed that centipede, people would pay a killing for a blue centapede.

great, now i feel like random arachnids are crawling around inside my flesh.
