Christmas present ! I,ve kept reptiles for many years and have gone back to a large planted vivarium and a trio of these arrived in my stocking. This are the ones from Cuba and the bahamas which has invaded the states of the Southern USA- causing a threat to the native Green Anole there.

Tremendous. Well thats a bit different from what we normally see on a perch

Love the pose and eye detail. A lot of men would prefer to find something else in their stocking

Err what do you mean ??? At my age a Zimmer would be good with a built in tripod head !!

What a Christmas present! Very nice indeed John, the cartchlight in the eyes really sets the image off well.

Best wishes,

Nice one John, like the symmetry on this one, detail is spot on too.

I used to keep tree frogs, but I never found one in my Christmas stocking

Splendid shot, love the anlge of the pair of them, super colour and background too. (not my choice of stocking filler though)

A beautiful composition. Colours are great. One suggestion - there is a light area around the nose (?) of the top one - might be worth toning it in a bit.

Ian- the state I,m in at the moment it's best left alone !!
