Great Cerastes cerastes shot! They do look kinda like sidewinders (Crotalus cerastes spp.), but their horns are a little more intense. Haha

I've been able to see one sidewinder in the wild so far. They're pretty amazing snakes.

Ah I'm jealous, we don't have many species of reptiles in the UK (7 in total). I'm still trying to see them!

I'm definitely familiar with all of the UK's reptiles. I was supposed to visit a friend in Brighton last summer and I was hoping to get out and find Vipera berus and Natrix natrix.

Really scary but well done. The composition is excellent and I also like focus.

Ahh... sidewinders are one of my favorite venomous snakes. I love their horns.

This isn't infact a sidewinder, although it looks rather similar. The Horned Viper doesn't possess a rattle, whereas a sidewinder does. Beautiful snakes tho

I didn't know sidewinders had rattles... I thought sidewinders and the Desert Horned Viper were the same snake... huh. Cool!
