Gorgeous! How did you get him to pose so perfectly? And the snake charmer has done a great job as well. A very strong pose that manages to look relaxed. Well done.

LOL, snake charmer is right! My husband is fearless with them (tho this little guy wasn't too fearsome ) I'm ok with snakes and will pick up the occational visitor passing through, too...We'd been holding this one for maybe ten minutes and it wasn't frightened (at least it was no longer actively trying to escape - hopefully it had realized that we weren't trying to hurt it and my husband's hands were warm!) so he was just hanging out... I moved them onto the front porch where the early morning light was bright and the color of the house with the sun just worked!

Thanks for the wonderful comment and the fave!

Ask Cait how we showed it to her (she was still sleeping and I - according to her - shoved it in her face! I admit to waking her up, to SHOW her the snake but I deny having it anywhere close to a "shove in the face"... )

His name is Zoro masked slither of the plains. He is afraid of no one, and soon will be released to tend to the business of mice and rat consumption. Amighty friend to have in the wilds if California.

Pretty much natural light, just a bit of bump on the saturation...early morning sun plus fleshtone plus sepia colored house

Lol, it is a wild animal. D: I actually have my own snake, but it was born in captivity, so it's okay. He's my baby :3

I understand the difference We have lots of interesting critters around our home, but we let them stay outside...I know that it is still stressful to be captured and photographed, but we were saving him from more "stress by cat"
