    You are very courages.The closest I try to get to a snake is via a photo.This photo really illustrates how this one looks and one can almost see it's character as well.You must have been quite close to it.Good photo.

    Hi Almo
    You have done a great job with this photo .
    I do not have much to add .
    What kind of snake is this ( A smooth green snake ?)
    Is it very common and poisenous ?
    It looks close to the green mamba except for it is a bit white on it's stomach while the green mamba is green basic all over.

    I looked at the other photo of yours with the two green snakes as well . Also a very good photo.

    Regards
    james

    What a great photo - envious.

    How do you find these snakes and what sort of lens did you use. I prefer this photo to the two green snakes I think you took.

    That was taken with a minolta dimage 7i, at a pet store, ergo the fake plants.

    thanks!

    Very nice capture, Almo.
    You've been spending a lot of time near the ground lately...

    See you on the forums.
