well, interestingly enough, they are infact VERY photogenic! and are sometime really really docile and friendly! =D a sweaty finger is always a good way to make friends with these fellows. =)

Yes I understand .... they are not ready for a photo session :)

Thank you again KrantiAzad =) these fellows are pretty fast.. they just zip along and perch. kinda like a sports car =)
