Thanks Mike.... She is living in a planter out on the back porch for now... I found out how well they jump when my face was stuffed up to hers with my macro lens.. Glad they are friendly because the fangs look about the size of a Rattlesnakes :)..

They are actually relatively easy going as long as you aren't hitting their hind parts and bouncing them around. Can't wait to see some more pics !

Thanks John :) Good to hear from you... I have been out of the macro forums for a while. To many birds right now :) :)... Glad you like the series buddy. I'm still battling a bum shoulder so macro of the higher (mag) order is still tough..Take care

That is good info Mike... I have certainly seen them handled calmly and I am really not a weenie, however I didn't spend much time getting aquainted ;).. She is still out back so I'll get a chance... Hey I know I'll take a double portrait.... Me with her perched on my nose :D :D... Take care

That's a good test of how healthy your heart is. You must be doing something right ;):)

Great series, I know I would have passed on this opportunity.

Hi Toby :) Thanks pal... It is good to hear from you.... I haven't been shooting much macro lately. The shoulder still isn't up to the task... This big beauty almost required a wide angle lens. The guard dog ran when he saw it.
