A beautifully detailed shot, I just wish their range was a lot further north.

Very nice - like Ron says it would be good if they came up further north, could you send a few up for us northerners who are missing out on these wonderful beasts.

Great shot. Nice detailed image with warm colours. Never seen one in real life but am on the hunt with my camera.

Thanks for your kind comments folk. They're pretty easy to get a reasonable shot at though, as they tend to move on 2 gears, very slow or stop. This one was on stop. If you gently stroke their backs, they stand more upright in a threatening pose and widen those scary (but harmless) looking jaws.
This one was a small specimen. They can get up to about 7.5cm.

The female of the species is more deadly than the male.
