    Awesome photos Ryan! I'm digging that Short-Tail's mugshot in particular... and baby turtle hatching!

    What the heck are you shooting with? These pics are fantastic! I always knew you were a champion...didn't know you had photography skillz of an ascended being.

    LOL Jeff, I'm flattered. Thanks. I shoot with a Nikon D200 and a remote flash.

    The flat rock lizards were pretty cool. I was tempted to get a couple, but I didn't get anything at this show. Just pictures. :)

    @spaceboy, that's a Mandarin Rat Snake like I saw at the show I went to yesterday and I thought the same thing! They're soo cool looking and don't feel bad, I wouldn't have known what it was unless I saw it yesterday either :p I have a pic of the one I saw that's younger on my post about the Cleveland Reptile show if you wanna look :)

    cool pics! Am I the only person who thinks the snake in the third photo looks like it doesn't have a head?

    Great photos! What kind of camera are you using? << Nvm, saw it. :3 I love how everything just draws focus to the reptiles and draws attention away everything else. Lol, wanna come to my house and take some pictures of my leo?
    On a side-note, those are some beautiful reptiles. :O I love the baby turtle hatching especially.
    dogking >> Ikr. It looks more like a millipede or something.

    The third picture is of a Calabar Python. It's head is the end on the outside of the coil. If you look closely, you can actually see one of its eyes. They're really odd snakes, but actually it's fairly typical for burrowing snakes to look sorta like that, but most burrowing species are much smaller.

    I'm actually working on putting together a portfolio to submit to reptile and nature magazines. I'll probably expand to broader subjects, but I mostly enjoy photographing reptiles.
