OT: Venomous Snake Pics

Eric · 02-29-2008, 09:10 PM

Ok I promise I will post some tank pics this weekend and lay of the snakes for a while.

Here's a few shots I got this week for a photo contest. I never win but everyone likes the pics. I like to hear feedback about my pics as far as the snakes go I've heard it all.

Enjoy

Also a few ramdom pics.

Thanks

cool....thanks for sharing

Wow! I can't see any reason why you wouldn't win! That portrait of the cobra and the green snake are beautiful photos. I don't know what the other contestant's photos look like, but I think the one of the wet green snake is a winner!

Cool!

vdituri · 02-29-2008, 09:31 PM

All look to be VERY fat and happy.
Beautiful snakes. Great photos as well.

Thanks Everyone.

I think the main reason I don't win is the fact my pics are of snakes and not of cute cudly animals.

Doesn't bother me I enjoy taking pics and working with my snakes.

The markings of the first one really play tricks on the eyes. It's difficult to take in the whole pattern. What kind is it?

Eric · 02-29-2008, 09:45 PM

That is my Gaboon Viper named Chizoba. She was one of my first venomous snakes.

Dentoid · 02-29-2008, 09:49 PM

I thought you might be entering a contest on a reptile forum or one where the subject is snakes. Try that if you want to win. What is the green snake?

Eric · 02-29-2008, 10:01 PM

It's just a run of the mill photo contest. I'm a shoe in if they ever have them for reptiles. The green snake is a White lipped Viper all to often over looked and under estimated. That is my big female I also have another smaller female and a adult male but they only get about half the size of the femal if that.

Cool pics. Whatever happened to the "Eek" handle anyway? That's my first reaction with these guys

Eric · 02-29-2008, 10:24 PM

LOL I try and keep the same name on the forums. Figured I'd make this one match. That is the typical response thought.

Have you entered Hagen/Exoterra photo contests in the past? They used to award a trip to Madagascar or other areas to go scouting out for reptiles and do some field studies and observations. Not sure if/when it's happening this year:
