Acanthodactylus schreiberi (Schreiber’s Fringe-toed Lizard) (A portrait from an adult female)

A relatively big-sized diurnal species with a total length up to 15-20 cm. The occipital plate on top of head absent or rudimentary; a longitudinal depression on the anterior part of head. Usually four entire supraocular plates. Large ear opening with no anterior denticulation; Unpectinate border of eyelids. Subocular plate usually extends down to the edge of the mouth. 71-108 rows of scales around mid-trunk; femoral pores between 19-29.
Typically, the lateral edges of the toes with fringe-like short spines, especially obvious at the outer borders of the 4th toes. It inhabits sandy areas with sparse vegetation. Very agile and quick moving, difficult to catch in open places. It feeds on insects. In Cyprus, the the nominotypic form A. s. schreiberi is present.

The another, total capture and detailed information of the species was given in TN by me.

Today, I would like to dedicate this close up capture to our friend in TN, Jane Magen (jaycee). I hope you like this face my dear friend Jane:).

Bayram bey nefis bir portre olmuş ellerinize sağlık.

WOW Bayram, this is a good composition of the Lizard. But it looks like you have focused on his neck as there is quite a bit of noise all around his head and fingers.
He's quite an attractive fellow too,
Janice

hocam elinize sağlık. Yine mükemmel bir baş detayı vermişsiniz. Temporalia çok net görülüp sayılabilir:). Teşekkürler.

Hi Bayram,very perfect pic,the details and the colours are fantastic,i like the point of view to show this lizard ,thanks for the interesting note,have a nice day,Luciano

Hi Bayram
Great portrait. I like POV and great eye contact - unusual thing with reptiles. Little noises are a minor thing but I think that you could try little noise reduction
Best wishes
Krzysztof

Hello Bayram,
I like the eye contact in this excellent close portrait of A. schreiberi. The sharpness and details of the head and neck are first class.
Thanks for sharing this beauty,
Ivan

Hi Bayram,
I am just marking, I'll be back soon :)
Best greetings,
Radomir

Again a good profile portrait and -as usual- our "woodwork" nicely completes this fine composition both from fore- and background!
"iyi gidiyor" Bayram!

Hi Bayram,
You have a nice selection of reptile images in your gallery.This is a good closeup with a good profile of the handsome lizard.I like the blend of browns and the pattern on its back.There is a bit of noise in the image.Take care my friend.

Hi Bayram,

I LOVE the face dear friend - thank you so much for the dedication. You are enhancing my appreciation for these wonderful reptiles that you photograph so well. I'm not sure I have ever seen eye contact with a lizard before! The face and eye are beautiful. Once again, excellent details of the face and skin and wonderful natural colors. I can't wait to see what's next.

Jane

Hocam selamlar. Bu hayvanın dişisinin yüzü gerçekten ok tatlı. Erkeği daha sert imaja sahip. Elinize sağlık. Tüm ayrıntılar fotoğrafta görünüyor. Nefis olmuş.
Teşekkürler.

Hello Bayram,
Nice dedication - perhaps Jane will start looking for some lizards now!
Great close-up of this one showing fine sharp details. This one is really keeping an eye on you, Bayram!
TFS and kind regards, Ulla

Ciao Bayram,
apprezzo molto le tue splendide foto e i superbi primi piani dei rettili che ci fai conoscere ogni giorno.
In questa foto è veramente impressionante il dettaglio e la nitidezza che permettono di osservare ogni singola squama della specie.
grazie,
Marcello

Hello Bayram,
Very special to see a photo of a reptile with eye-contact to the photographer. Very good sharpness and natural colours. A bit noisy around the Lizard, a pity. But a fantastic photo.
Regards,
Peter
