Sweet photos. I have a buddy that has a very similar photographic style. I gotta get out to Colorado one of these days.

I grew up in Clear Creek County and never saw a smooth green...my freaking dentist (an old herper) saw them semi-regularly though. *sigh*

I love the shots of the animals with the habitat in the background. Those are just great shots! There is something about those kind of pictures that just bring them to life. Also, that tiger salamander is a screamer. Well done!
