well.... I've done about all I can for Chameleons at Taronga, so I thought I'd return to probably my favourite animals at the zoo - the Red-Bellied Black Snakes.
Shot once again with the K10D but this time with a cheap (yet rather handy) Sigma 70-300mm (with macro function!).

I like the one above mainly because if you look at full resolution the snake's eye below, you can *just* make out me in the reflection (I've got my elbows up on the ledge holding the camera steady).

... and the last (and blurriest, and most highlight-blown!) in the series:
