I took both my Blepharopsis mendica - Cecil and Oscar ( both L2 ) out for their first sunbath today. The air was very dry (very rare here). Once their condo roofs came off, they clamored to the top of their containers and danced and swayed with happiness at the hot sun.

Awesome photos! I wish my camera took good close-ups like that.

 
Hi Sticky. I did recently buy a nice little camcorder. Still grappling with the learning curve to produce quality movies!
