As usual, great photos and species Matthieu! The reticulated python had to be an amazing moment. Also the rest of incredible species. The first gecko is too nice, it´s similar to the probably nicest gecko in western Africa (Hemidactylus fasciatus). Congrats!!

Thanks all!
Gabri: yes a very nice gecko, but it was a young. The adult is not so beautiful.

The python was an amazing moment yes, although I almost lost my finger! :lol:

Yes, I saw your finger. And it not so bad considering the size of the snake! In Thailand I found a baby reticulated and it was so nice than my girlfriend want a photo with it. I insisted her about take strong the head. After the photo, when I tried to catch it the poor snake was nervous and open the mouth, and then my girlfriend release the head and... she got a bite. It was a baby python and all was full of blood, she was crying... after some crazy moments I got to introduce my finger in the mouth and my girlfriend could put out her finger, and I could put out the snake of my finger. After that crazy seconds, the snake was good, my girlfriend was a bit sad but not enough considering the experience.

That snakes are very strong!!! So I am happy that your fingers are so good :D
