I am a teen and have been keeping exotic animals for the last five years. I decided to try out macro photography this year. Every photo posted here was taken with my Samsung Galaxy S8 phone, and a clip-on macro lens.
I own or have owned the majority of the animals that I have photographed, and I have been raising and breeding exotic praying mantids for years. I also have three geckos, three green anoles, a corn snake, a tarantula, a hissing cockroach, etc.
I’m just starting out with my photography, so I’d love to hear your opinions!

Wow, I didn’t even know there was such a variety of Mantis and seeing the photo of one hatching is interesting. The eyes on the Corn Snake are super cool and the bunny looks like a painting.
