Leopard gecko photography

How can you make such photos of geckos:

Pretty much every geckos on S.Sykes offer is standing in this position.
How is he doing this ?!

I've tried this with my most calm gecko and he straighten his tail right away.
Is this some kind of magic ?

I put something over them, like a cup or bowl, and allow them to settle down. Then when you lift the cup or bowl, the gecko is in a calm position and usually don't try to move for at least long enough to snap a few quick photos. Some geckos are going to be more wiley than others, but in general this works well.
