Wild A 1.2 meter champion gets the girl!

As we arrived, there was already a commotion!
Two big guys were fighting wildly and, since it was
the first time I witness "live" such activity, I was
quite impressed.

— "Let's watch them!! said Stephan, the twelve
years old son of a friend of mine, who was with
me to the "show". He took the morning to show
me a spot in the clearing of a wood where these
snakes are plentiful.

This guy won the fight and will most probably get
the girl… but at a cost: bite wounds that I tried not
to put too much in evidence. A 1.2 metre champion.

Since he was exhausted from the fight, it wasn't too
difficult to have it in some cool poses…

Don't shy away from showing us the evidence of the fight Daniel, it's part of the nature of these snakes.

Image-wise, I think #2 would work better in landscape format and perhaps with added blur to the body to concentrate our attention on the very sharp head.

I was not shy Mark… (you blood thirsty)

I wanted to make good looking shots
of a good looking snake on
a good looking day and
the prospects were looking good!
