Little Draco

I went round to a friends house to photograph her Reptiles and Lizards.
I had no idea if I could touch one let alone hold one. This is an 8 week old Bearded Dragon. Hes one of three little hatchlings! (That's probably not the correct term but I like it). 
Although my friends house is dedicated to her reptiles and lizards she also breeds them for a shop she works in.  Little Draco here doesn't really have a name because she wont name ones that she takes to the shop. I fell in love with him, hes fab and actually started to fall asleep in my hand while I had his mother on my leg and the camera in right hand photographing him and another lizard. I don't want her to sell this little one but she hasn't  got room. She has one bedroom dedicated to them and Vivariums all in her lounge. She is a brilliant owner and adores these beautiful creatures. Its like holding a dinosaur in your hand. Truly magnificent creatures. She had lots of Geckos too and Skinks. I went because I wanted to photograph reptiles as Id never done it before but I was amazed at how I really took to all these creatures. The only thing I couldn't take to was the Tarantula but thank goodness she said that couldn't be handled as she bites and flicks her fur spines at you!!! hmmm....
