[ceduke]

Beautiful shot!

That is an incredibly beautiful shot, what an amazing snake! I seriously both love and envy your photography skills all at the same time. :bang:

I'm so jealous! What a beautiful snake! I'd love to get one of those one day.

 

[desertanimal]

Very nice. Wild? Captive?

What a cool picture. Wouldn't it be cool if people's eyesight, unaided, could see in such fine detail??

Wow, thanks everyone for the kind words! I guess I should target taking snake pictures instead of my usual macro bug shots. I really think I could have taken a better picture if I would have not been shaking so much. I posted this one because I thought the scales looked cool.

I saw him while on a walk. I was nervous getting so close (3 feet) but couldn't pass up the opportunity. I love eyelash vipers and this is the first one I was able to get a picture of. I carry anti-venom.

I learned everything from the INTERNET. Just like I have learned everything about corn snakes here. Forums are awesome like that.

Yes and no. I wouldn't be so fascinated with macro photography if I had the eyes for it.:spinner: When taking macro photos it is like seeing a different world that was right under your nose the whole time.

Again, thanks everyone!

I love Eyelash Vipers! I think they are one of the most prettiest snakes! Such a great find!

 

[sparkplug]

I think this was the original. The first was a crop.

I agree entirely. I just had a clutch hatch and I got a couple really nice photos of egg teeth, which I simply cannot see that well with my eyes. Even just getting mediocre photos of them kept me trying for better ones.

Nice work! I'll be visiting friends in Panama over Christmas. Let me know if you have any travel recommendations!

When you saw him, what was he doing? What time of day was it? How did he react to you??

Wow, the uses for the internet never cease to amaze me. :eek1:

He's gorgeous. I miss mine very much. They are such beautiful animals and so diverse in color

I don't really know Panama that well but it is a beautiful place. All I can say is if you want pics of cool snakes, walk around at night, near water, keep your flashlight away from your body, and listen for frogs crying from being captured by snakes.

When you saw him, what was he doing? What time of day was it? How did he react to you??

He was laying in a bromeliad and we removed him and put him in a better area for photos. It was in the afternoon and he really was not that mad about the whole ordeal. My friends live in an area that is full of them. I should really get out and photo them more. I'll look for a green one next week.
