Thanx Uros!
From what I understand, S. javanensis is also quite variable when it comes to color. So basically I have no idea :confused:
I'm planning on sending a molt to Volker von Wirth, hopefully he can shed some light on this.

Still, amazing pics. :eek: I know I've asked before, but I HAVE to ask again. What kind of camera are you using, attachments, etc?


Great stuff!

Thanx Paul!
Most of the pix in this thread are taken with a Fuji finepix S5700. But the most recent are taken with a Canon EOS 300 D (I think they were called digital rebel in the states) combined with various lenses :)

Thanks Laura,
I haven't confirmed this with a molt, but I'm leaning towards female. :)

Thanks Jeff and Mark!

Mark, the light is actually from the internal flash of my camera. I just "bounced" the light with a piece of cardboard. ;)

Not one of my best shots, but I'm still happy with it, since this species isn't bred often in the Netherlands :) :
