Photgraphing a Crestie

Hi all. I was just wondering if any of you have any ideas on how to take my Crestie out of its enclosure, placing it on a white background and shooting it (with a camera). I’m afraid it will get away from me. I did it with my leo and vipers and one of the vipers took off. Luckily I was able to catch it before it leaped off the table. Thanks...

well the trick is first to hold the gecko in one hand and as you set it down on the white background keep your other hand in front of it kinda cuped around so that it cant go any where then slowly and fluidly move away and pick up the camera the gecko should sit there trying to figure out what just happened and where he is! the just shoot your pics and dont trip if he just walks around itswhen he gets close to the edge or the chair or bed or table is when you want to get back to him pick him up calmly and sit him down again in the middle and thats it but maby my guys are all just really calm!
