Would be interested to know which ones are poisonous and any other information on them. Those shots are good enough to be published in a book, especially if you had the back ground on each snake. Also, be curious what equipment you are using, especially the lens.

Thanks for looking and commenting, Erv, whitewolfowner.

whitewolfowner - only the green pit viper is venomous. All images were taken with the Laowa 15mm.

An amazing lens for sure. Explains the huge depth of field you get. Hope you have glass between you and the snakes.

I have been meaning to DIY a shield but have been putting it off.
