David Clark replied
thanks Bela
- these little guys are great fun to try to photo -if you move very slow you can get right next to them- I took this from only inches away -daveJan Piller
Wow!! what a strange looking little critter! I bet he moves fast with those long legs of his!
David Clark replied
thanks Jan
- yeah they do move fast -but it is relative cause they are so small- the huge toes help them keep off the hot sand -daveRosy Kueng
Woow Dave! Outstanding shot!!!!!!!!! I like how you focused on it…it gives the feeling he is a part of the sand…sorry, I can’t explain more exactly as my vocabulary is small…anyway I like it and it goes straight to my favorite :o))
David Clark replied
thanks Rosy
- I was laying down on the sand to take the photo -his color is same as the sand and he can be very hard to see – but I think he is really cute and very small—daveDiEtte Henderson

well captured image. It shows a typical behavior of raising as high above the ground as possible to minimize the heat accumulation. I like how it blends so well with its environment. Thanks for sharing with the Art of the Middle East group.

thanks Steven – we have a few species around here – some highly endangered because of all the construction on the coast
- I enjoy your reptile photos -I am always delighted when I see one scurrying around—had a nice skink in the garden this morning – daveChrisCoombes
Very cool photo Dave. Similar to some of our great little dragons here in Oz.
David Clark replied
thanks Chris – these little guys are great – we have a larger monitor type and a very large slow “dhub” or spiny tailed lizard – they are great to see roaming in the sand – dave
