Sweet photos RPC. What's equally as cool is the fact you were out and up with them.

As in, how close did you have to get and how mean are these snakes? Thanks. I can't view my Flickr's EXIF data on my phone but I think I was using my Canon 70-200L IS II wide open from about 8 feet away. He was really staring me down as I got closer. Generally they try to flee but will become very aggressive and bite if provoked. I could've gotten closer but I was afraid he'd quit posing for me. :)

Cool pic of the bighorn ram EFR. I've been in hopes I could catch a glimpse of one of those mythical creatures in the Catalinas. Soon...

The snakes and tortoise are so cool. Makes me want a better camera. Here's a few from different trips.

Fossana - your photo makes me real thankful that all of our Madagascar bushwhacks were of the dry variety (holy!!!).

Radek, I was told that it was "worse" a few weeks prior. After leech encounters in Sumatra and Madagascar, I think I will stick to the dryland excursions.
