Photographer Captures Black Mamba Biting Him on Camera

I agree his photographs are amazing. And he is very fortunate to be alive.

Does anyone know, are the colors on those snakes real ? I didn't know cobras could be red or orange, and what about the one that's green and pink ?

The colors are definitely real, I don't know which green and pink one you're referring to, but the red and orange I would assume is the second picture, and those are Emerald Tree Boas. (EDIT: Unless you were looking at the site link pictures, I can't confirm those, but with a REALLY nice camera I'm sure lots of colors you wouldn't think of would get picked up.)

Malaysian Blue Coral's are SOOOO beautiful, and that's a gorgeous shot he got. He was lucky he wasn't bitten by that one, as of right now (if I remember correctly) there is no effective A/V for them.
