I hunt snakes and big ones
today has been a good snake day, I actually saw them three times, and I also got good pictures twice, These pictures are good here to show what a male snake looks like and what a female snake looks like.
In the first four pictures, you can see how the snake has a strong black pattern on it, it is a male snake and usually the most poisonous.
But in the last three pictures, you can see how the snake is a brownish soft color and the pattern cannot be seen properly, it is a female.
But if you run into them, don't get as close as I did, I had to move slowly for a while to keep the snakes calm as I approached them. it takes lot time, and also strong nerves, miraculously my hands no longer shake when I first photographed a snake in the forest many years ago, now I look at them with strong nerves and my hands stand still like a stone.
But always safety first, I had a few things that I used, the first thing is a camera bag which is a protective shield so that I can keep the snake's head busy so that it doesn't carefully watch my other hand where the camera is.... or if you have big shoes with a strong cover, you can use them too, but don't let the snake climb up or it will come in your pants :)))
Be safe and have fun all ;) I be soon back what more photos, days are still warm and there is more snakes :)))
