photoshoot of my sweetie venus :) - amanda509 - 06-12-2012
well, petco has agreed to take mars to the vet and his appt. will be tomorrow. when i handed him to the lady, his skin ripped, he was shedding, which i could tell from all the time he was spending in his moist hides and his color getting paler, but she said this was the reason he was not eating, but i explained to her, this does not explain why he was soo skinny to begin with. venus is doing good, she is using her egg laying bin as a litter box -.- go figure. but she is also starting to shed. figured id get in a small photoshoot while her man is gone :p

Wow - she is really BEAUTIFUL! Gorgeous photos you got of her too! Great job!
I hope Mars will be okay. Let us know what the vet says after Mars is looked at.
I've never owned a reptile, but they are great looking creatures. :-)

That's one cool looking lizard.
What is with the hole near the end of the mouth? It looks like a gill. Or is it the sign of shedding?

the one behind her eye is her ear, and the one on the end of her nose is her nostril

The pics are great Amanda
What type of camera do you have?I'm glad he has a vet appt, try to make sure they do a full fecal, float and smear if you can. Do you have a choice on the vet?

well, i didnt get to choose the vet or what they did to him, but i know he went to the blair animal hospital and they did a simple fecal. the staff said his health is clean and he is probably skinny due to the competition of food when he was housed with 4 girls there. he also just shed, so hopefully he will start eating soon...

Really beautiful shot! I could never believe lizards can be so beautiful. May be I have to get one!
RE: photoshoot of my sweetie venus :) - tajnz - 06-13-2012
Wow, you must have a great camera as these photographs are incredible. I love how we can see her eyes and skin close up. She's one beautiful lizard.
Hopefully Mars will be ok. I love how you named them Venus and Mars, very clever.

i forgot to answer ur first question XD i have a Canon PowerShot SD1300 IS, its just a small digital camera that was around $125 at best buy..nothing special, but i know how to use it
RE: photoshoot of my sweetie venus :) - Fishbone - 06-14-2012
Very good shots though! I really like eye shots myself, that's one my favorite things appearance-wise about all of the Morelia species. I'm glad your boy got a clean parasite check, hopefully it's just stress then. And some time, patience, & TLC will do the trick.
RE: photoshoot of my sweetie venus :) - HK86 - 06-14-2012
Those eyes are amazing! I've never seen eyes like that so close up before, the detail on them is absolutely beautiful.
I didn't realise their skin was knobbly looking either. That close, she looks like a dragon
RE: photoshoot of my sweetie venus :) - TreeClimber - 06-14-2012
That is a beautiful looking lizard. The color patterns are really neat. The eyes are incredible. I like those closeups.
Thanks for sharing the photos of Venus.
