S for Snake

I found this little snake slithering around on my lounge room
floor! After watching him for a while and trying to decide
what to do with him, I thought why not take a photo. I
scooped him up into a plastic container and set it under a
downlight on my kitchen bench which produced these
reflections. Meanwhile my son stood guard to make sure
he didn’t escape before I got this shot by standing on the
benchtop and focusing down into the open container.

“Always carry a flagon of whiskey in case of snakebite
and furthermore always carry a small snake.”

    Fabulous, you know they are having a Snake theme in Reptiles this month, I;d say this one is a winner… The story of how you captured it was great too. I think I’d die if I found a snake in my lounge.. You’re much braver than I…
