My favorite snake photo. This is a Rhino Rat Snake.

I took this photo at Reptiland in Central Pennsylvania, but this snake is from Vietnam and China.

Love the color and wiggly nose.

Also known as the "Vietnamese longnose snake" for obvious reasons ;)

I really liked this little snek. This is probably in my top 3 photos I've ever shot. The other 2 were on film cameras, and I think one is lost forever. The details just look really good, and considering it's through a slightly smudged aquarium and taken by a flip phone, I think it came out amazing.

After taking this, I looked into getting one for a pet, but saw they lived up to 20 or 40 years, and I said that's too long a commitment for a non-cuddly pet! ๐Ÿ˜…

Oh wow! I assumed this was someone else's picture, you might want to edit your post body to emphasize you took the shot. This does indeed look great.

Lol, good point! I'm not good at giving myself credit, so I forgot. ๐Ÿ˜…
