Beautiful photo! I think it must be some kind of ratsnake..

That looks like a Snow Corn to me, or possibly a Bubblegum Snow Corn (it's hard to tell with the lighting, but if the weird little patterns had a pinkish tinge instead of brown/yellow/orange, then it would be a bubblegum cron. I own an albino corn (they're more bright orange and pink than you'd think), they're really sweet creatures.

This picture brings out all the mystic flair that's assiciated with that kind of animal. it's lovely how it appears out of a dark as an unshar scheme first gaining sharpness and substance as it slowly comes nearer to the vierers eyes. And then finally it's here and stares at you - the eye...

brilliant lighting here. perhaps a tiny bit of uplighting too, just to give a bit more 3D-ness. Or maybe a small flash to hightlight the eyes.

Im afraid I cant tell what it is, and neither can my boyfriend! But it is a loverly snake and an excellent shot, especially since it was taken through glass.

Such a pleasant looking eye - he looks almost gentle and happy to see you!
This an excellent picture! I love the contrast with the dark background, it really creates some drama!

nice shot, great wildlife macro, I did a bunch of shots at the nearby eco museum, really fun stuff
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
yes, the museum i went to
was poorly named.
very little was behind glass . . .
it was more a live park.

same with mine, it's basically a big bird reserve, with a bunch of other areas with other species, only the more dangerous ones were kept in fenced in pens...or pits

Very good photo, very impressive atmosphere.
Congratulations.

What a beauty! Such a mesmerising eye...
Love the depth of field here, with the focus on the eye and the body soft and blurred.

excellent...
indeed the snake himself is cute and sexy, but you add something that makes it somewhat eternal...
ah... love this one, that's just it

It's an Albino red (head) skin snake
And I think it's sooooo cute.
Did you use a polarizer for this shot?
Great capture, btw
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
but no, believe it or not, i didnt use a polarizer
i just caught a good clean angle
and it was shot in near darkness
like in those underground caverns where you look at
a bunch of animals in glass terrariums.

you know, i've kept this on my list for awhile,...wondering just what to say about it.
i really like it alot. it's so professionally done. i own tons and tons of national geographics
(i use them for reference sources for the most part) and this shot wouldn't look out of
place at all in one of them. you even got a bit of a rock in there which shows how well
the snake can blend in with his surroundings. hell,...i thought from the small view that it
WAS part of him.
it's really a quality shot red.
well done.

Such great detail and all the more impressive with it being through glass, the composition works great too.

my cousin has a bald python that his older brother got him...even thinking a one living that close to me is scary...this pic is very realistic for me

It's a great picture. I love how the coils fade into the background. The shadows on the rock also make for a really cool effect as well. Great, as always, sorry for the late comment though.

hey no worries . . .
the fading coils
and his eye
are my faves too
thanks for commenting!

This is indeed wonderful! I shot a snake through the glass @ the local store, but I got these gnarsty reflections from the glass.. but it still turned out good (my featured deviation). You've managed to focus this almost perfectly, and it's really, REALLY good.

that's a quality shot
pwnage..
I love the relation between the different bodyparts and the head of the snake

Fuck I hate snakes but this one is attractive, so I will let thyne live!
The scales are really crisp in detail and the amber eyes jump out at me. I really like how you have its body in the bkgrnd and then its head slithering across in front. Nice lighting too.

but i'm glad you like this one . . .
he posed perfectly for me

i almost mistook the tree limb for another of his coils.

You took that shot through the glass??? Wow, did it ever turn out great! It's so close up and real, makes me want to lean a bit further back from the screen so he doesn't bite me!

i know - isn't he kinda cute/scary?

Definatly not albino. Its Leucistic. Which means lacking all or almost all pigment, but with varying eye colors.
That snake's eyes definatly aren't pink, which would make it an albino.
How big was it? Looks more like a kingsnake to me.
Great shot.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
it was a medium-sized snake
but i thought a kingsnake was
reticulated red, yellow, and black?
