Wonderful set Kurt its nice to see closeups and full size shots together
its hard to pick a favourite but mine is the close up of the white spotted cat snake, coiled like that is a great composition

Thanks, Pete. I try to take full body shots of the snakes I come across, but it's really tough when the snake is huge! The further i step away from the subject, the worse off my light will be

Excellent set is #1 a blind snake?
