But I'm Camera-Shy!!!

Hi Leanne! Yes, she is a she and her colouring, especially just after a shed, is sensational. I’m so sorry your mum is really scared of snakes – understandable though. Not that I want you to encourage you to something you shouldn’t but little hatchlings are really about the size of a shoelace and very difficult to be frightened of…

I just wanted to add – this is you Leanne isn’t it? You’ve changed your image and profile I think – I almost didn’t recognise you…

The best part is that the colour is really just like that – just after a shed when she’s showing her new fresh skin…

Thank you! I have to admit though – her pose was a bit of luck:)))

Thank you :)

Thank you very much!!!

Thank you so much! Though a big part of the praise is due the model – who got totally sick of having a camera poked in her face :)))

Yep – they sure are! that’s part of what makes these snakes so special!

Thank you :)))

thanks! Though catching a pose like this from a snake is a lot of ‘being in the right place at the right time :)))

Thank you again! Yes – the sheen of their scales is an awesome thing about this particular species :)))

WOW!!! Thank you very very much! Though really… it’s the wonderful snake’s talent for posing that made this such a lovely, spherically curved image… I was just ‘there at the right time’ :)))

thank you! Yes – they really are amazing :)))

Thank you very very much :)))

Mmmmm… you love them too? That’s sensational – we have 3 pythons at home… I looove to work on my computer with the largest coiled around the base… she occasionally moves and has a look at me around the edge of the screen…

LOL :))) It’s just tough at the moment – winter here – so it’s a bit chilly for her to be out in the room for any length of time… :(

Eeeerrrr…. got to admit I’ve had that happen…..

Yes – she is like that Tama… though this shot was taken last year – she was probably about 75cm long then… grown up a bit now, slightly more heavier bodied, stronger and over 1m long…. but still wonderfully beautiful and very tame (unless your fingers smell of rat which makes them FOOD!!!) :)))

Thank you – credit for the pose goes to the beautiful model, but I take credit for being there with a camera at the right moment… :)))

O – by the way, this enchanting creature just shed her skin again last night and she is pretty well 1 1/2m long now… :)))

So this one too…. Just 3rd to decide…

btw – are you suggesting this because it’s ‘clear & nice dof’, a 1 off pose from a snake, flash colouring, or any or all of the above?

I agree with you about the background – certainly can do some burning

Thanks Hugh – in the weeks after a shed that’s exactly how she looks :)))
