I love that first pic. I’m always fascinated how curious snakes are just as most other animals in the forest are, so to speak.
Whether popping their head out of the hide or coming up front to great you, there’s just something about it, it connects with me.
Of course the non snake folks think that they are just sizing you up for taste. It’s a shame that so many people are so close minded. Fear can be so irrational.
I like it when head and neck start to blend, a sign of the start of maturing.
Great snake, great set up there.
