>>Check and see if your camera has a macro setting. It will alllow you to get much closer and stay in focus, than with a convential lens...approximately 3-6 inches depending on your camera.



Ric it does have that feature it's just that I haven't figured it out yet. (it's called being lazy lol)



>>So how old is this cutie?



I'm going to figure that this baby was hatched in spring of 2006 because the kid who brought it to me is the same kid who found another baby last June in his backyard. That baby went to a local nature center's outdoor wildlife area because that family has dogs in the backyard. Then in early Nov. I believe (I wrote it down need to find it) the same kid's parents were re-landscaping the backyard when this one, Kibbles, was dug up by accident.

These babies look so much alike I'm convinced they're from the same clutch & so more than likely Kibbles was hatched sometime last spring.

Now I wonder how many more of them are in that area & did those babies make it in a neighborhood full of dogs & people? I hope so.
