Hey Anthony, or anyone who has lots of crested pix,
Do you have a picture of a crested (showing especially the best features of them) that I can show my tattoo artist? I'm planning to have it run vertically down my left arm, so a gecko facing up or down would be better than horizontally. I know you have lots of fantastic pictures. I searched the book by Repashy, Best et al but none of them is quite right. Thanks in advance!

Terri,

I've got a bunch of photos that aren't on my website. Shoot me an email and I'll get you fixed up with plenty of photos.

Hi Anthony,
(I couldn't get your email address to take this)
Thanks so much for helping me out with this tattoo. I'm looking for a pic of a gecko clinging upside down, and looking to its right & either up or even, so that it will be facing me. I'd prefer a shot of it from the back, showing the distinctive fire design on their backs, and showing the crests clearly, and maybe even fringes, for good measure. If I'm wearing a t-shirt, probably only its face will show looking my way, but if I'm sleeveless, the whole gecko will be visible on my left arm. It's tail can go either way, but I'm thinking if it wraps toward my back, that would look cool. Obviously I will give you bragging rights if you are happy with how it turns out.
You have my email address since I bought little 'Toni" from you.

Along with the great pics from Anthony, I have a few quality Crested images of my own. You can find a few in this slide show:

...most of those were my first attempts are Cresty pics. So I've got a lot more in different circumstances, feel free to e-mail me if you need to. (neoimages@neoscales.com)

I don’t have an issue per se with you using them and making a logo for your personal site, but I need to be credited on the site for the photo. If it’s for any reptile (or other) business, then you can purchase the copyrights to the image(s) very reasonably. Understand I have a lot of time and money invested in my photography.

Using my copyrighted images without permission for a business would be bad : )

I use a Canon D-SLR Rebel and a Tamron 90mm 1:1 Macro lens for most of my shots. Feel free to e-mail me with any questions, or things I could help you with.

Thanks, Randy,
Your pix are fantastic also, esp. the ones you posted on the forum last week! As I just told Anthony, I'm looking for one upside down, as they so often are, and looking towards my front. It'll be on my left arm, up near my shoulder, and I'd like it to show all the best/indicative features of cresteds; crests, fringes, fire pattern on back, etc. I'm not sure how detailed my tattoo artist is going to get, so I'd sooner give him too much info than not enough.

The crested Gecko book by Robbie Hamper has a great gecko pic on the cover thats been made into T-shirts and look great .He isnt upside down ,but you should take a look.

Also alexhuereptiles.com has a really good upside down pic

I tried that "Gallery" link Randy & it didn't work for me. =o(
