We finally got some good rain today, so I decided to take a ride out near the swamp. Best pictures this season!!!! I was expecting to see some turtles, but found this nice ratsnake instead. Not bad for only about 20 minutes of riding.

I love when they pose for pictures


Head shot


Alot of the times I find snakes 'tranced out' on the road. No movement, no tongue action, nothing.


Crawling across rocks must feel awkward. I see alot of snakes move across rocks with these 'tight' curls. Nothing like when they shoot through grass. This was a size reference shot for myself.....those are 40" tongs, so I say around 46" or so.
