Looking good Stuart. Any chance of any full body shots. What size is he now? I noticed the orange on the underside, I too in the past had orange on some of mine I think its a locality thing depending on where the breeder stock originates. I also noticed sizes differences between the different origins.

Cheers Jas..used the sigma 150mm macro..
Sean I think he is a she now..lol..and tbh hasn't really grown much although I really dont over do it on the food..at a guess i would say total length is about 3-3 1/2 ft long.

Very nice Sean..so are the ones with the orange colouration on their underside usually smaller?

A little off subject but how do you get the whole head in focus? when i do my head shots i cant get the whole head clear, am i shooting to close, do you take your pics further away and then trim the photo on the comp, sorry for all the questions.

No probs jas..it all comes down to what aperture you use..( F number) if you use something like F4 for example you wont get much in focus..basically the larger the F stop the more of the subject you will get in focus..its called depth of field.But the higher the F number the slower the shutter speed will need to be to get enough light in the pic..you can raise the ISO but this will start to make the pictures look noisey once you go over a certain setting..sounds confusing but honest it isnt..lol..just need to find a happy medium for your shutter speed,ISO and aperture.
