Rattlesnakes in Love!

Only problem with this new forum is that there aren't enough snake pictures. Clearly, as a loyal forum member, it is my duty to do my part to make up for this shocking lapse....

Guyana rattlesnake
Crotalus durissus
Captive subject
180mm macro lens
1/250th second @ f/22
ISO 200
flash as main light

And make for it you will, Mike. Nice image. Is that two snakes or a mirror effect?

I should have said--This is really two snakes, no digital or other trickery. Scene (also seen) exactly as you see it here.

That is an amazing image Mike.

Hey look, its the Doublemint Twins!

Look at that rattle, 18 buttons I can count in the photograph.

Those two lovebirds must really be big. Well they say there is someone for everybody.

A really nice photograph Mike. I am sure you will make up for the deficient in herpetological subjects.

Very nice snake shot Mike...you can see a little difference in the snakes between the eyes

We can always count on you for the reptiles.

The master's eye for patterns in the world of reptiles! That is so sweet!
You are beginning to make a habit of intruding on moments of intimacy.

Pleased to see that you continue to share your fascination with snakes.

I've said it before, and I'll say it again. I dig your snake shots. Keep 'em coming!
