i have a fear of snakes, though. they're gorgeous and they are very fascinating, it's just in person they scare the bejesus out of me.

yep, that is a pretty damn dangerous photo there, unless there was a good distance between you and the moccasin.

I am very impressed by this shot. You did an incredible job with the capture.

It's an awesome shot that clearly shows why they are called "cottonmouths"

very well done. this is a photo I would not want to take, but I absolutely love to see!!

Yeah, I got pretty close for this one. Wanted to capture the itsides of its mouth while trying to stay out of its strike range.

where I live, you have to watch out for snakes. I'm not going "herping" -- I just live around a lot of reptiles
