actually he was about to go back in tub with it , ut showed an interest in it straight away , had the camera handy , he went for it , so I took pics , not in least bit was he phased , settled in tub after was over at the hot end all snug like .

I also said its not something ya see often in the OP. Just thought I'd share with others .

Weird.. never saw a snake "eating of of your hand..!"
Your macro shots are stunning. What type of camera, if you don't mind me asking?

Jennifer , I'm sure you have asked me this before ! Though a few ppl ask it now and again....anyways !!

Canon 300D , usually combined with a EF 28-105 Ultrasonic Zoom ( F3.5 -F4.5 ) . It has 1:1 Macro setting .

BUT !!! My 'killer' (lol ! ) Macro work is usually done with a

50mm Prime EF ( F1.8 ) combined with ExtensionTubes/Ring/s

Pic in OP was taken with that rig , and slightly cropped ...the pic below is not cropped it's ' as was ' so to speak . Working with extension rings requires extremely steady hand so best to use the tripod when doing it , all my macro work is done manually , no auto focus ....YOU do the moving , not the camera. Bearing in mind , the subject here is three month old youngster, he's small , very small , in the view finder ! HTH.
