My two favourite Disney films are Robin Hood and The Jungle Book... and this snake reminded me of both so I fell in love instantly :love:

Taken at Cotswold Wildlife Park with D60 & 55-200 lens. C&C more than welcome:

Nice set.

I like 1 & 2 but with three the fact that the boa's nose is out of focus due to shallow depth of field spoils it for me.

Thanks for the feedback Graeme. The DOF was intentional - I really wanted to try to focus on the eyes - but I appreciate it won't be to everyones taste.
 
Bugger! I thought you were talking about me Fi :LOL:

#2 for me (y)
 
I don't think it is a barneck, it doesn't have the typical upper jaw protuding scales.
 
#2 for me, looks like a jamaican boa to me, very tree boa like head. Nice capture of the iridescence (sp)
