"See how I can unhinge my jaw?"
This speckled rattlesnake shows that he really is flexible, at least in his jaw muscles! This happened so fast I only got the one shot in, and was pleased that I managed to get him all in the frame and up close. I wish I'd done something other than center it, but here it is. A minor feature that I like (and didn't even think about when shooting) is that his ringed tail just above his rattle is visible OOF in the upper right background. An in-focus view of the rings and rattle on the same snake a couple of years ago is here:
