Bateleur Eagle / Terathopius ecaudatus The Bateleur eagle is the most famous of the snake eagles. Bateleur is French for “tightrope-walker”. This name was probably chosen because of its distinctive aerial acrobatics. Its pitch black feathers with white under the wings, bright red face and legs and black beak are characteristic markings. Unlike most creatures, female Bateleur eagles are larger than males. A big thanks to Deb for choosing this image to be showcased in Pay It Forward. Please take a look at her stunning portfolio here This is what she had to say about “Snake Hunter” “This is my all time favorite piece on redbubble. This was a very difficult choice to make!!! I have such a passion and love for nature but most of all……the birds of prey. So I gravitated in that direction. The piece I chose is of a bird of prey. It’s titled “Snake Hunter” by bobbymcleod. I love this brilliant shot and have chosen this to be my favorite. One reason being, that you don’t see many shots of these eagles. And secondly, these eagles like so many birds of prey……. have such power/determination in their eyes and they are just so incredibly beautiful!! Bobby has captured all of those elements in his brilliant photo of this stunning Bateleur Eagle.” Thanks again Deb!

“S” Photography & Artwork / by Holly Kempe © 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.” / ~ W.

The Wife and I were outside with our visiting son. We are getting the ponds and yard ready for prime weather.. I heard my wife do an OMG. So I went over to see whats up… This is what I captured. My Wife thinks it was terrible. I viewed it as a bit exciting to see how nature works live. This is the one pick I decided on. It really did not take long and the snake wanted his lunch to go and was not going to wait for me to capture him.. Got Lucky.. Soon more nature stuff.. I will have more time to play after yard work is done.. LOL..
Three black snake eggs I found under a dead tree-I found the exit patter intriguing and the eggs as a whole, quite beautiful. Apparently the hatchlings have what is called an “egg tooth” which they use to make a tear in the leathery shell. It then takes a while for them to completely emerge. I have found eggs at this location now for the past 4 years, and feel quite privileged to get to see this process. The babies emerge, crawl all over the beech tree trunk, shed their skins (which is when I first become aware of them), hang our for a while, then scatter. I feel very protective about them.

3d art render of a Reticulated Python Made with bryce3d. Reticulated Python Python reticulatus is a species of python found in / Southeast Asia. Adults grow to a maximum of over 28 / feet (8.7 m) in length and are the world’s longest snakes, / but are not the most heavily built. Like all pythons, they / are non-venomous constrictors and normally not / considered dangerous to man, even though large / specimens are powerful enough to kill an adult and / attacks are occasionally reported. An excellent swimmer, it has even been reported far out / at sea and has consequently colonized many small islands / within its range. The specific name is Latin meaning net- / like, or reticulated, and is a reference to the complex / color pattern. / Adults grow to a maximum of more than 28.5 feet (8.7 / m) in length and are probably the world’s longest snakes. / However, they are relatively slim for their length and are / certainly not the most heavily built.The anaconda, / Eunectes murinus, may be larger. The largest individual / ever accurately measured was Colossus, kept at the / Pittsburgh Zoo during the 1950s, with a peak length of / 28.5 feet. Numerous reports have been made of larger / snakes, but since none of these have been measured by a / scientist nor have the specimens been deposited at a / museum, they must be regarded as unproven and / probably erroneous. In spite of a standing offer of / $50,000 for a live, healthy snake over 30 feet long by / the New York Zoological Society, no attempt to claim / this rewards has ever been made. The color pattern is a complex geometric pattern that / incorporates different colors. The back typically has a / series of irregular diamond shapes which are flanked by / smaller markings with light centers. In this species’ wide / range, much variation of size, color, and markings / commonly occurs. In zoo exhibits the color pattern may seem garish, but in / a shadowy jungle environment amid fallen leaves and / debris it allows them to virtually disappear. Called a / disruptive coloration, it protects them from predators / and helps them to catch their prey. Found in Southeast Asia from the Nicobar Islands, / Bangladesh, Burma, Thailand, Laos, Cambodia, Vietnam, / Malaysia and Singapore, east through Indonesia and the / Indo-Australian Archipelago (Sumatra, the Mentawai / Islands, the Natuna Islands, Borneo, Sulawesi, Java, / Lombok, Sumbawa, Sumba, Flores, Timor, Maluku, / Tanimbar Islands) and the Philippines (Basilan, Bohol, / Cebu, Leyte, Luzon, Mindanao, Mindoro, Negros, / Palawan, Panay, Polillo, Samar, Tawi-Tawi). The original / description does not include a type locality. Restricted to / “Java” by Brongersma. Occurs in rain forests, woodland and nearby grassland. It / is also associated with rivers and is found in areas with / nearby streams and lakes. An excellent swimmer, it has / even been reported far out at sea and has consequently / colonized many small islands within its range. During the / early years of the twentieth century it is said to have / been common even in busy parts of Bangkok, sometimes / eating domestic animals. Their natural diet includes mammals and occasionally / birds. Small specimens—up to 3–4 meters (10–14 ft) / long—eat mainly rodents such as rats, whereas larger / individuals switch to prey such as Viverridae (e.g. civets / and binturongs), and even primates and pigs. Near / human habitation, they are known to snatch stray / chickens, cats and dogs on occasion. Among the largest / prey items that are actually fully documented to have / been taken were a half-starved old female Sun Bear of 23 / kilograms that was eaten by a 6.95 m (23 ft) specimen / and took some 10 weeks to digest, as well as pigs of / more than 60 kg (132 lb). As a rule of thumb, these / snakes seem able to swallow prey up to ¼ their own / length, and up to their own weight. As with all pythons, / they are ambush hunters, waiting until prey wanders / within strike range before seizing it in their coils and / killing via constriction. Hatchlings are at least 2 feet (61 cm) in length. / Oviparous, females lay between 60 and 100 eggs per / clutch. At an optimum incubation temperature of 31– / 32°C (88–90 °F), the eggs take an average of 88 days to / hatch. Info from Wikipedia.

This little guy is the very first wild snake I handled, I knew he was not venomous, and when I caught sight of him in the noosa basin on one of my frequent trips there, I was so happy to get a chance to play with a wild snake, and photograph him in the wild. Was actually on the outskirts of the basin, in a park in Noosaville. Hunting mostly frogs and some reptile/bird eggs, they are excellent tree climbers, as their name suggests :) Canon 50D, Noosa Basin, Noosaville Queensland. Available Large!

Western green mamba (Dendroaspis viridis). West Africa. / Closely related to the Eastern green mamba and the Black mamba. Although it has a similar, dangerously neurotoxic venom as the black mamba, it is not as potent and injects smaller quantities. It is also not as nervous as its cousin. Found mainly in trees but does sometimes venture to the ground to bask or chase its prey. Featured in: – RB Homepage Nov. 2009
