Just a thread to gather everyones snake photography

My friend took this image

While I was taking this image

I've found that one trick to wildlife photos is that it's much more interesting when down to eye-level with the subject...

With natives like that, I'd have a hard time leaving the field.

Snakes are a difficult find for me. Few and far between. This was the most recent, a Long-nosed Snake (Rhinocheilus lecontei) on the road:

I usually only have the opportunity to photograph my own.

If I'm right the red stuff on the pythons nose is the reflection of the red light also on its back.

Yeah, it's just the reflection from his red heat lamp. He's a healthy snake in all respects.
