Extra large snake


Today, while walking in the forest for a long time, I tried to find snakes, one moment I was tired and I thought that I would sit down under a tree to rest my legs, but BOOm, right where I wanted to sit there was a big snake that carefully watched me, it was so big that it it didn't move fast either, but crawled slowly and had eaten its fill of something, either a dead frog or a mole. After that I didn't want to sit anymore because I wanted to look under every tree so that I wouldn't be alone when I tried to sit :))

This here is a female european viper, her pattern is brown on top and not very strong, but the male has a much stronger pattern and his color is also brighter. All female vipers are dull in color. I was pley there like 35 mint to get photos, I was move also very slow that I not make it very mad... so here are photos what I was get.

I be soon back what more snake photos if I find them more, this last two weeks I have seen them very lot :)))


I was use here my Sony A6000
I was use here my Sony E 30 mm Macro lens .

It almost looks like a fake snake from how close you were able to get. Best to be careful, I'd be afraid of getting bitten!

You could control your emotions very well and didn’t frighten the snake to become aggressive!

yes, it is important that you are not afraid near them, when you are afraid then they are strong ;)

Yup! I know what you mean. I think these wild animals could read your mind or feel your emotions!

Scary snake, your shot quality is so good that it's scales are prominently visible, and making it even more scary. I would suggest you staying away from venomous snake, or use telescope to capture their photos.

Reminds me of a recent visit when I seen a snake here laying in the water. I wanted to get a better picture but a frog was right off the shore line. If I would have moved closer to get a better picture the frog may have jumped in the water and became lunch, hehe. I don't know maybe not this snake wasn't huge but looked interested in the frog.

I seen the snake first the frog was a bonus but got in the way of me getting a better shot. Haha I was feeling for the frog. It ended up hopping away to the left not in water. Than snake dove away and I didn't see again.

But your snake large and in charge I don't think it would have went away on its own. You got some awesome photos.

Thanx :)) .... yes this big snake what I had it was very slow, I think it was eat something like 1h back or it have eggs in :)) this why it did not move lot , it was fat :))
But lot times when I see small ones, or male ones then they run fast and it is hard to get photos lot times :))
