Rat Snakes

[Mrudul Godbole]

From the same series of the Rat snakes in Haserghatta. The vertical wrestling as Apana pointed out was quite a display.

Canon 50D, 100-400mm L IS USM, f5.6, ISO 200

Hi Mrudul,
I like this composition better than the previous one you had posted... The scale aptterns look good around the heads...

Lovely focusing Mrudul, that too being dancing couple and some yellow branch at foreground (?).

Its really amazing to see just couple of inches of upper body parts of both.

[Mrudul Godbole]

Thanks all.
Sagar, the yellow foreground are the small flowers. Yes it was really amazing to see the two snakes, being this my first snake sighting :).

First snake sighting? I remember you posting python shots. :D

This image is nice. The scales look nice.

Cheers,

Ohh yes..I had posted Python :). I was reffering to smaller snakes. The python sighting was very brief and it was in water when I photographed.
