It would probably be a decent idea to keep 1/3 of that pic to yourself.
Just trying to help.

I am very curious as to why he should keep 1/3 of that picture to himself. I enjoyed the whole thing. The one on the right looks kind of like my Albino Leopard Gecko with a skinnier tail of course LOL Yes please keep them coming I would like to add a cool picture as well. This was taken in Nevada in Smith Valley last year. First and only HL I ever saw. I picked it up and looked at it a while after shooting pictures and then placed it back on top of its ant hill. Temps were in the 70’s and it was extremely windy that day, Enjoy

Jason, some animals are threatened or endangered and in Texas, even picking up these animals constitutes harrassment, which is illegal. I am not for or against, just explaining what could be construed as harassing wildlife. Also appears pics were taken not in the habitat, therefore alluding to removal of animals outside their natural habitat. Just how I saw it, and sorry in advance if I was mistaken.

I am from Amador County California. I travel with an associate to Nevada once or twice a year to photograph the reptiles there. I always love to bring some back with me but unfortunately Nevada has some crapy export rules that say after I hike and work all day I must go to Fallen and get an export permit to bring stuff back home.
