With some delay a few more pics..

At first.. the proof that we REALLY saw I. horvathi ;-)


DSC_5579.jpg
I really like those guys..


DSC_5706.jpg
..such portraits were very hard to get..


DSC_5540.jpg
.. because of the loud shutter - noise.. more than half of the portrait attempts just resulted in some blur


DSC_5640.jpg
because of the high density and the agility of the specimen it really pays off to spend some more time than usual with those lizards


DSC_5762.jpg


DSC_5753.jpg


DSC_5830.jpg
..the best things come to those who... flip ;-)


DSC_5873.jpg
?


DSC_5881.jpg
..lazy guy


DSC_5918.jpg


DSC_5923.jpg


DSC_5954.jpg
more than 50% of the visible Z. vivipara were pregnant females, also (and the only reptiles) outside during bad weather conditions (max. ~12°C, a bit windy and absolutly no sun)


It's been a really nice trip.. I'm very looking foward for the next time!

PS: If someone knows the orchids and the bug in the link I would be very glad :)
