Beautiful photography and snakes.
Wonderful. Beautiful creatures very well done. Welcome back.
Thanks
Awesome, as always! The cat snake has a little flying insect 'photobomb' in the picture. Fun to look for it.
Awesome images. I don't like live snakes but they sure are photogenic.
Beautiful and (to one who does not like snakes) creepy!
Thanks for looking and commenting, Manglesphoto, Steve, Brenda, Allen, Mark, kpmac, allanj. Much appreciated.
Such amazing and enjoyable work. I had a friend who was in the Peace Corps in Sabah in the 1960's. She found a Krait in her house, no one ever knew who got out first....too much motion blur! I appreciate your photos very much, thanks.

These are a herpetologists delight!

I was getting worried that you had gotten TOO close to the vipers!
Thanks for looking and commenting, Rebecca, Raymondh, srat50.
Phil - LOL...hilarious.
srat50 - yeah, a little too close but only when the snakes are behaving!!!
