Just gorgeous!

Today just outside our house in Bangkok we were taking a stroll. This is what I noticed in a bush. At a quick glance I thought it was just a harmless whip snake but on closer inspection, it had all the markings of a white lipped pit viper. She was just beautiful and allowed me to get within 7 inches of her for this photo. Taken with a low quality digital camera that is inside my Sony Ericson's mobile phone.

Been trying to get this guy for weeks, definately the biggest butterfly I have seen. Just to give you an example the flower itself is 4 inches wide 

Rescued this friendly skink from the claws of my cat 

Pretty colour for a moth 

Looked to me, like a Great Horned Owl. 

This guy had an eye on my breakfast 

Down the river 

A 6 inch spider 

Rugged country 

Nice pic of stalactites
 

Exploring a long water filled cave 

Found this beautiful Temple 

Nope not a Tokay Gecko but it is the second large of the Gecko family. Found this fella in a cave. 

About the size and same colour of a Parrot but this is a nector eating bird. Sleeping on a branch. 

The biggest Crested Lizard I have seen. The flash unfortunately takes away from it's stunning green colour. 

I wish I would have got his face..this frog was a as big as my hand and was gorgeous. I forgot to mention that these pics are all in the dark of the night with a flash light and that is why I had a hard time with the focus. 

Looked like a cat snake but not sure....Not being sure I kept my distance 

Sorry the picture is not very clear...It's a Whip snake....I had him but he squirmed and got me on the finger......He did not want to let go!! 

These snakes are beautiful. Venomous but I never let my guard down to give her a chance. 

I took a canoe ride with a local and I caught a reticulated Python and a Mangrove snake
