Sleeping Naga

Little naga boy asleep in the big fig tree out the front of our house. I can't blame the guy for sleeping being so hot and over cast. There's not even a puff of breeze to offer respite. It's so hot during the build up (Oct-Dec). And this year's been a reall hot one with nightly minimums never getting below 25 C and relative humidty of 80-90%. I hope naga boy finds some where a bit more sheltered before the afternoon/evening storm breaks.



This sceen really is taken from the fig tree outside our house- though with some modifications to accomodate the naga more comfrotably. So I can give a good estimate for the guy's size. He's about the size of a small cat and his tail's somewhere around the 2m mark. The tail pattern is based on the Brown Tree Snake, one the local snakes which I've never seen. The picture I was referencing for the pattern had lovely cream and onrange bands. It's A3 in size.



Welcome to Christmas in the Tropics!
