Wow! Love your work Kurt, you clearly know what you're doing.. Really interested in the first one. How did you get the background black(post?) and what was your light setup? Wouldn't mind a few pointer

Stunning images - and informatively labelled! Are you an actual herpetologist?

Thanks, Raj. When you shoot in full flash mode (typically F11- 16, 1/200 to 1/250, ISO100/200), you will get black background when there's no near object behind your main subject.

Thanks, Pejacre. No, I am not a herpetologist. Just a nature lover and hobbyist photographer.
