These are two large 6-7 foot male Rat snakes fighting. The monsoon kind of weather with the burnt vegetation brought out some lovely colors in the frame and it was a blessing to get them in contrasting Blue and Yellow coats. The yellow guys won the battle that lasted for an hour and half, I was a great experience as I was able to lie down close to them and shoot. The best moment that made me thank god was after he had chased away the blue guy, the yellow guy made a victory display by lifting its head and tail up together and moved straight towards me, It was “WOW” as I never seen anything like that before. but then poor fellow realized it was me and dashed into an opening in the field. I will post some close-ups too Later. The smaller frame has not got the same impact as a large size.
Spec: 1/1000, F 5.6, ISO 1250
Mk4+500mm
