You know it's going to be a great trip when you walk into the park during the day and immediately find a lifer gecko that you've been after for quite some time! Check out this amazing Sabah Flying Gecko (Ptychozoon rhacophorus) from the highlands of Sabah, Borneo.

Excellent work. Love the horned frog - it's so grumpy looking. The pit viper images are awesome too though.

Wonderful shots Kurt. The first M viper shot with tongue in face shot brought a gasp, then another with the last. Congrats on a fine outing. K

Great set, would love to visit that part of the world; maybe more nature than macro?

Thanks for looking and commenting, Steven, Toby, Keith, Alveric.

Alveric - the antipodes of Malaysia is Ecuador. I would love to spend a few months there some day!

Thanks. No, all taken in the wild. I don't photograph animals behind glass.

Nice, I hope you had some distance. Vipers are scary to me.
