Correct me if I'm wrong, but that head-on shot looks like a pit viper(specifically a rattlesnake.) Can't see the shape of his head well but believe I can see the "pits" in front of his eyes, hence the name pit viper, all of which are definitely poisonous! You got to wonder what he must have been thinking when you streached out on the ground 5 ft. in front of him!!


The only correction needed is to which snake she was asking about. The. Black and white striped one is a King snake and the Viper is definately a Rettlesnake! I was Not laying on the ground in front of the Rattlesnake! I was however on one knee at a greater distance of about 8 ft. Out of striking distance!

Ummm, did you take a CLOSE look at the TAIL on the second shot??? Those are rattles my friend and from the count he's around 5 yrs old and probably as long as his age; and btw they can jump twice their body length when coiled.

Sorry, I didn't read her question well enough. Actually, I knew all along that you would not lie down 5' in front of a viper!!! There was a BIT of concern, however, which is why I completely forgot to complement you on you photographys!
