I wish I could see the eyes better. Like Kiki, I almost thought the green part was the mouth! A more natural background would look nice but this works well for a "stock" shot. CJ

Thanks, Doug! ~Lydia

Oops... sorry. I posted this and then got distracted. I've put in the exif now.
Regarding the sex... I saw on the internet that the males have more of that green color than she does.

Yes, Lydia does not need to sign her photos anymore. I knew this was hers, too. I did think it was a green scarf until closer examination showed it was the color of the neck scales. He seems to be enjoying being photographed by a photographer extraordinare d.tallakson

Yeah this doesn't need a signature. How do you know it's a girl Lydia- was it the scarf? ;-) It's just a matter of taste I know, but I maybe side with Rod that backgrounds this bright do have a bit of a clinical look. I actually sometimes wonder if you have your monitor calibrated to see the brightness? Still nice though :-)

there's no photographer, date, etc. but I would have known it was yours, Lydia, even before the comments. This is "picture perfect". And I like the scarf (heheheh). I would love to see exif on this too. Penny Street

Thanks for the tip on the background, Rod. If I hadn't already let HER go back outside, I'd reshoot.. .just for you. ~Lydia

Very nicely done Lydia medear, at first I thought you had put a green scarf around the poor buggers neck. Have you any other colour backgrounds Lydia? As the white can diminish the colours in the subject & also make the picy too clinical. A picy well done anyhow.
