This is an irked bluestripe garter snake giving me his death glare. See, we aren’t supposed to have this species of snake in my area (Gainesville, Florida), which meant that I just had to capture him for a few photos. To get to him, I had to lunge into cattails and grasses by a pond (nevermind that I nearly fell in) and grab him and pull him out. Understandably, he wasn’t happy about this, and he let me know by biting me. Repeatedly. So I crouched on the ground with the snake in my one bloody hand and my camera in the other and took some photos. This one I think came out the best, as it shows his serious (and justified!) annoyance at me. It was a great experience on the whole, and I wouldn’t hesitate to do it again. :) 100% of the profits from the sale of my work featuring reptiles will be donated to Wildlife Warriors Worldwide in honor of Steve Irwin who educated the world about these amazing creatures.

I have been wanting to do a follow-up to Colors of Nature, but I wasn’t sure how I wanted to present it. Since I have already done flora, I wanted to do something with fauna, and something unique… Then it struck me how amazingly colorful snakes can be, and how that is something most wouldn’t think to notice. So, I present to you these beautiful snakes, all of whom are wild and were captured, photographed, and released in and around north and central Florida. The colors here are completely natural; I’ve not altered them at all. The snakes are: corn snake (aka red rat snake, Elaphe guttata guttata), yellow rat snake (Elaphe obsoleta quadrivittata), rough green snake (Opheodrys aestivus aestivus), and bluestripe garter snake (same one as in Feeling Blue Thamnophis sirtalis similus). I only wish I had photos of orange and purple snakes to complete the spectrum. :P / . / This is currently not for sale as a laminated print because the border won’t print well with the text on the laminated prints, since RB adds their own border. If you would like to purchase a laminated print, please let me know and I will post a version without the text. :) / . / 100% of the profits from the sale of my work featuring reptiles will be donated to Wildlife Warriors Worldwide in honor of Steve Irwin who educated the world about these amazing creatures.

This is the Florida cottonmouth, a snake that I love and respect dearly. Cottonmouths have such bad reputations, and it makes me so sad because they are such fantastic creatures. There is a commonly held belief that they “chase people away from their nests” and “aggressively stand their ground.” These ideas are simply a total misinterpretation of their behavior. Snakes are not humans; you cannot interpret their actions in human terms, you must interpret their actions in snake terms. First of all, cottonmouths don’t ever nest. In fact the only snake in the world that nests is the king cobra. Second, when a cottonmouth or any snake moves toward you on the ground, it is not an aggressive move; rather, they are fleeing. See, snakes have poor eyesight and they get confused easily when scared. They look at you and see something big and mistake you for a tree or some other form of shelter under which they can hide. Thirdly, what we see as a cottonmouth “standing its ground” is really just the snake remaining motionless in the hopes that you won’t see it. If it flees, you are more likely to see it and eat it (at least that is what it thinks). This cottonmouth is giving me its characteristic open-mouthed defensive display. In the hundred or more cottonmouths with which I’ve interacted, this is the one and only time I have ever witnessed its defense display. And it only threatened me because I was being annoying, laying on the ground in front of it on my stomach with my camera in one hand and a stick in the other trying to move the brush away from it get a clear shot. As soon as I put the stick down, the defense display stopped and the snake turned and left. This shot was taken across the road from my house north of Gainesville, Florida. 100% of the profits from the sale of this image will be donated to Steve Irwin’s Wildlife Warriors Worldwide.

This is a southern black racer (Coluber constrictor priapus) that I found stuck in some netting that was very tight and cutting into his body. He would have died had I left him, so I picked him up and brought him home to get some scissors to cut off the netting. Now, racers are very high strung, and most don’t appreciate being handled too much. There have been exceptions, but for the most part, if you pick up a racer, you are probably going to get bitten (the bites are really just scratches, and they aren’t venomous). Given the state that this guy was in, I figured he might be a bit more sedate; I figured wrong. He struck at me over and over and over again, obviously not caring that I was trying to save his silly life. Somehow he managed to never make contact, but it certainly wasn’t for lack of trying. When I got him back to my house, i put him in my lap and cut away the netting. Surprisingly, he held completely still the entire time and didn’t try to strike once. But as soon as the last piece of netting was cut away, he shot out of my lap and immediately turned to strike at me (he missed again). Ingrate! There was no light outside at this point, so I put him on the vanity in my bathroom to take a few shots. Bathrooms don’t provide the best lighting, hence the extremely shallow DOF from shooting at f/2.5. When I was done, I carried him to a part of my property to be released. He didn’t actually try to strike at me at this stage, which I guess for a racer is thank you enough. :) 100% of the profits from the sale of my work featuring reptiles will be donated to Wildlife Warriors Worldwide in honor of Steve Irwin who educated the world about these amazing creatures.

This is the Florida banded watersnake, or Nerodia fasciata pictiventris, “picti” for short. These docile and rather lazy snakes are found throughout Florida in all sorts of bodies of water, especially marshes and ponds. Their body shape, size, and coloration somewhat resemble the venomous Florida cottonmouth. This leads people to mistake the picti for the cottonmouth, and kill them for no reason at all, simply due to mistaken identity. (Of course, the cottonmouth doesn’t deserve death, either, but that’s another post entirely.) What’s interesting is that my 3 year old daughter can tell the difference between a picti and a cottonmouth with nearly 100% accuracy. That says a lot to me… (As an aside, can you see my camera’s reflection in his ocular scale?) 100% of the profits from the sale of my work featuring reptiles will be donated to Wildlife Warriors Worldwide in honor of Steve Irwin who educated the world about these amazing creatures.

For fans of swords and sorcery! This highly detailed work is one of my personal favorites! This wizard is ready to battle with wand or sword, but he much prefers to work with his potions of power. These shirts are well made and the unique printing process creates a Bright, Colorful and Large image that is almost as good as silk screening and much, much better than what you get from cafepress. If you have any questions about this design, or desire licensing options don’t hesitate to email me or leave me a note at Redbubble. Please also let me know if you purchase one of my designs and what you think of it’s quality. You can contact me at : cybercatgraphics at yahoo dot com.

These are two beautiful nonvenomous Florida banded watersnakes (Nerodia fasciata pictiventris) posing for my camera (also seen in Mistaken Identity ). As with all of my snake shots, these are wild snakes that were captured, photographed, and released. These two watersnakes were laying together and just hanging out, a behavior shared by many species of watersnake. This behavior is what has led to the completely false myth of the “nest of cottonmouths.” Cottonmouths are a venomous pit viper with a very mild temperament that are often found near bodies of water. Every time I talk about cottons with someone, invariably they mention the fabled waterskier that died from falling into a “nest of cottonmouths.” But cottons are not watersnakes, they do not “nest,” they bear live young on land, and they are purely solitary snakes that only come together to mate. The newly born cottonmouths disperse immediately upon birth, so at no time does the mother cotton defend her young. In short, you would no more find a cottonmouth in a nest than you would find one on Jupiter. However, it is very common to see groups of harmless, nonvenomous watersnakes hanging out together (although it’s still not a “nest”). Because of this myth, people assume these harmless snakes to be cottonmouths, and they kill them. I have seen so many dead and wounded watersnakes, and it is a heartbreaking thing to see. :( / . / 100% of the profits from the sale of this print will be donated to Steve Irwin’s Wildlife Warriors in honor of Steve Irwin and his contribution to the conservation of reptiles and animals worldwide.

Joorr is a word used by the Bardi ‘Saltwater’ people meaning snake. The Bardi people are from the Dampier Peninsula situated around 200 kilometres north-east of Broome, Western Australia. They are coastal people who have looked to the land, open waters, tidal flats and mangrove creeks for thousands of years for food, law and traditions. Even to this day Bardi people continue to practice their culture and to live this way of life. Each print is in 5 seasons: Summer,Winter,Spring,Autumn,and Monsoon (Black-White).
