Oh wow, these are spectacular close ups! I love lizards :)

It has an adorable expression in that pose.

True :) a bit like a young dog.

It looks like you have it trained like a dog too, sit lizard sit.

Excellently trained photo model :-) nice :-D

He, he ... thanks, an experienced, professional model was crucial. :D

I can understand that he wouldn't be noticed with his colors blending in so perfect to the background :)

Stunning shots, extreme clarity very impressive.

Thank you :) Some good equipment was involved. Macro lens and external flash.

A bloody good macro lens me thinks.

Looking into his eyes! He’s very nice and gentle! In fact he says he’s a bit lonely!
Could you help finding a nice girl friend for him?! He feels so neglected and lonesome!

He told me you did not talk to him much! He felt ignored and unappreciated! Oh! Please tell him he is very handsome and chivalrous! He should find his sweet heart soon!
