Plenty of beautiful photos in this new treat! Unfortunately on my island there are not that much of objects of this kind to shoot (well, I hope it stays like this, at least for the snakes :))!
Below is about 50% of what we have here... I think some of this I posted before in other treat...

Absolutely stunning pictures, in terms of biology and photography.
Perfect!

Great photos, ISV! However, I can't make biogeographic sense of where you must live. My best guess is Hawaii, and all of these (except the Green Sea Turtle) are introduced species??

Perfect guess mikekeck:)! Anolis carolinensis - Carolina anole, Anolis sagrei - Brown Anole, Phelsuma laticauda, Trachemys scripta elegans - Red-eared slider, Dendrobates auratus and Trioceros jacksonii - Jackson's chameleon are all intruders (as I am:)) on the Island.
There are not native Amphibians on the islands and the only native reptiles are the Sea Turtles, the Yellow bellied sea snake (Pelamis platurus) that I have never seen and the presumably extinct (2013!) Copper striped blue-tailed skink (Emoia impar). The only land snake here is the Brahminy blind snake (Indotyphlops braminus) tiny and stinky if you take it in hand.

Ah ha, but those of us old timers here already knew you were an "invader" amongst Canonites! ;)

Now, don't tell me, you don't have English sparrows? I believe they have the world record for invasions, so much so that they changed their name so as to not be so readily identified.

I had to search the web for the "English Sparrow":D - if you mean "House Sparrow" (as I know it) we have plenty. It deserves the name "World Sparrow"!
Concerning the "invaders" - yes, I'm invader in both: Canon rumors (just few years) and Hawaii (more than 18 years), but I'm feeling pretty much home in both;)!
