The RAD House herptile adventures

[RAD House]

I have a growing collection of scaly and slimy creature pictures from my past few exploits and I figured I put them all in one location as well as have a place for all future photos.

First up are pictures I took on our honeymoon to Tanzania and Zanzibar.
We saw these skinks in multiple locations

We also saw several leopard tortoises meandering around until they get high centered, of course.

I almost stepped on this female agama she blended in so well, her partner on the other hand was not so cryptic.

This agama was about six feet from a huge male lion resting.

My most exciting reptile encounter was this incredible nile monitor. I mean just look at that coloring and pattern. When I first saw him in the water I thought it might be a snake.

The highlight of this trip was finding these green sea turtles feeding near a swimming beach. They were so close they would sometimes run into due to the strong waves. My father in law even got a little cut up by one. The first and only sea turtle attack.

Lovely shot and a great find. Not much change me finding anything like that in my back garden!

Geez, what a amazing adventure! Feels like i am right there one with all the animals. A real camera is number 1 on my Xmas list no doubt. Thanks for the trip.

[RAD House]

Thank you both. I really enjoy trying to catch the animals as naturally as possible. Albert if you are going to upgrade your camera, I really suggest spending the money on a dslr with a couple good lenses. Just to warn you it is just as easy to spend money on cameras as it is reptiles.

Gotcha! Thanks. Good to know.
