| Again, beautiful photos and beautiful animals.
Concerning your interest it must be a huge gift having a friend like Peter. How else would you have found the opportunity to make these photos, especially the T. trigonocephalus-birth?
Thank you for posting,
Rainer |

| You're doing really good job. Maybe I'll visit one of your shows sometime. I've decided to visit Peter's zoo in September too. Wish you more good pictures. Maybe you'll take some pictures of my snakes once.
