Thamnophis sirtalis

We had quite the year for snakes. We had two species coming out of the old granite foundation of the house, and they were quite large. I like this different perspective for a photograph of a snake. I find it quite mesmerizing. The cats have not been catching any of the snakes this year, which is a good thing. Last summer, in New Hampshire, Buddy was bit in the eye by a garter snake and went blind in that eye for quite a long time. He still has occasional problems with his vision. Below is a photograph that shows how long this snake was.

Awesome photos! What did you use for the first one (camera, lens, all that stuff.) It's really an impressive shot (and made me jump back a bit!) :)
