Gorgeous Naultinus. Purchasing one of these is really hard haha(scarce in the trade). Did you take this photo of an owned one, or a wild one?
I always love seeing photos of these guys though, such amazing creatures.

This was at an outdoor centre in the Waitakeres. Information centre where lots of hiking is started from. They had this one in a display cabinet, along with a few others

wow very well taken.
must of been hard to get a shot of him, most of the times i cant keep lizards still in front of the camera from 10 feet to get a picture of them...let alone with a macro lens.

Thanks. But I'll tell you a little secret....
Shhhhhhhh .... but it was
'shot through glass' lol
These little creatures are extremely rare. So rare that you won't find them in the bush. Department of Conservation has one glass case of them in te Waitakeres to teach the kids about them. There's a nice warm lamp in there and they sit still under that!!
However, that was the very very first shot I did with my brand new 100mm macro lens!
