albino spider

I don't really like this little guys chance of survival, firstly for being a freakishly white/translucent colour and secondly for having no fear of something that is much, much, much bigger than itself :) . I do suspect it was trying to protect its egg (i think) which you can see on the leaf off to the side (not water droplet dummies ;) )

However, with much leg waving, sometimes two legs at a time this little guy backed off under one of the leaves , probably finally noticing that I was not gonna be deterred :) he was however giving me serious stick for pointing a camera in its direction :)

I had the privilege of spending a couple of hours at a local reptile shop in York (Leaping Lizards) on Tuesday afternoon. I was granted full access to this world of wonder by the owners who kindly allowed me to take photographs without the restriction of shooting through glass. I could have spent all day looking at their fabulous stock of reptiles through my macro lens and I even built up enough courage to photograph a Brazilian Giant Salmon Pink Tarantula (not for the feint hearted, pics to follow soon)! As soon as the glass doors were slid open the stigma of the various snakes, lizards etc was removed. I half expected them to start leaping at me but this was not the case and instead I was left to stare in awe at their beauty and enjoy my photography.

I hope you enjoy looking at them as much as I did - more to follow!

Thanks in advance for any comments or favourites you wish to make.
