Beautiful set again Kurt.
Wallace is beautiful. Wonderful detail on his underside. The eyes of the Sabah's are a nice color contrast with the green bodies. The female Sabah looks pissed off. Do they strike at you?
Thanks.

Very interesting, thanks for sharing.
All fantastic, as always. The story behind the flying frog is especially interesting -- a nice example of how specialized evolutionary adaptations make use of whatever is at hand. Webbed feet in the case of a frog.
Another fantastic set of shots. The frog is, as usual, my favourite.
Very nice indeed even though I'm not a snake lover....Rich
What a beautiful set, as always. I'm just glad you are taking the pictures and I'm settled in my apartment far from there. I'm not too into running into a snake. I'll leave them alone and hopefully they will return the favor.
No doubt the herpetologists association have your portrait handing in their headquarters!
I love Wallace's Flying Frog. The snakes are nicely done also. I envy you the multitude of subjects that you have.
