You know it's going to be a great trip when you walk into the park during the day and immediately find a lifer gecko that you've been after for quite some time! Check out this amazing Sabah Flying Gecko (Ptychozoon rhacophorus) from the highlands of Sabah, Borneo.

Well, I’m a sucker for camo so I automatically love that flying Gecko. However that first shot of the Malcom’s Viper is just amazing. I love the way the forked tongue extends into the foreground.

Absolutely stunning. The horned frogs look so indignant. And I can imagine why the flying gecko would be hard to find, as it is so well camoflaged.

The snake with its tongue out is one fine shot. They are all interesting but that one is the clear winner in my book.

Sometime I would like to see how you take these amazing pictures. I really haven't seen anything like them when you started posting pictures.

Thanks for looking and commenting, Rebecca, saxman71, Tikva, Terry. Much appreciated.
Terry - with a Canon 70D, Laowa 15mm and diffused 270EX on hot shoe. Very very close to the subjects.

How do you get so close to venomous snakes without placing yourself in harms way? What about if I was to take one of your tours?

Thanks for the comments, raymondh, Terry.
Terry - i always start by taking photos of any venomous snakes from safe distance, and only get closer, and closer if they look calm and chill. I was really close because I use the Laowa 15mm. But if you are not comfortable getting too close, you can use a 90mm/100mm/105mm macro lens.
