Not all snakes are ugly...or are they? This is one of my snakes that I own and it's always a pleasure to get photos of my animals when outdoor photography is slow. This is an amazon tree boa...

You did this just right Matt. Tight and with lots of DOF. Nice work.

Absolutely awesome image Matt. I am not sure that I would like him living with me but you did a great job in capturing the wonderful detail on this Boa. How close were you ?????????

Hey Judy,

I was probably about two feet away so pretty much out of striking range for this one. These guys do bite sometimes but when taking photos of them I move nice and slow. After 20 years of working with them I can read them quite easily so not much of a problem. Thanks for the comments!
