Garter Snake

............. a resident of the gazebo garden; And also the primary mole and vole patrol. Although he has been known to dispatch an occasional frog or two. He doesn't seem to mind going in the lily pond .

I tied to get info off Google but never could get a decent I D from the markings on its head so folks on my Facebook page said a rattle. Look up t GG e info for the black button n it said their born that way n after the sheading is when the buttons start.

These snake pictures are surprisingly popular. They're pretty blurry which is too bad, but my old film cameras never had any of that fancy 'auto-focus' stuff on them, and people always seemed to puzzle over how to do it by hand. At least one of the reasons they are so popular is due to people googling anaconda.

As we made our way to the "Urbano Centro" of Tangier ..we walked through the "Kasbah" - Which means fortress...I never knew that this actually a real word ( I only heard this in the Clash song .."Rock the Casbah" ) ...Anyway ...walking through to the square we met Mr. "Snake Charmer" ...he would do this whole routine with his pet snakes to a drum beat ..and then ..yes for a Euro ...he will put the snake around your neck ...Ya ..I stop at the camel ride thing ...I hate snakes and big NYC rats ...ugh! I do have to say he did remind me of a few "snake charmers" I know with out the snakes though...LOL

Thanks once again to all those who view, comment, and fav my photos. It is really appreciated.

Whilst bowling along an old disused railway line on a gloriously warm day I almost trod on this fella. It's a male adder about 450mm long, UK's only poisonous snake.

This shot, again, resulted from my trip to the zoo in Münster. They have a big reptile house and I love these bright green snakes.

Shot with Nikon D5100.

A large bull-snake (also known as a gopher snake) keeps a wary eye on this over-excited photographer. Over 4 feet long and 2 inches in diameter, it tolerated my antics quite patiently, even allowing me to shoot from just a couple feet away using the macro lens.

"Happy Snake Saturday"!

This Gopher Snake was photographed at the Whittier Narrows Nature Center, South El Monte, CA

But don't worry, he was on the other side of the glass at the zoo.

Tiger snakes are a highly venomous snake species found in the southern regions of Australia, including its coastal islands, such as Tasmania. These snakes are highly variable in their colour, often banded like those on a tiger, and forms in their regional occurrences. Wikipedia

I was thinking this snake was dead, as it was a cold morning as I got closer it slithered off slowly the other way thank goodness.

Macro shot of this tiny snake, He's about 8 inches long.

Glenns Ferry on the Snake River, where the Oregon Trail crossed the Snake. Perhaps they need to change the name to Glenns Bridges now. Glenns Ferry, Idaho, USA

Normally they are a brighter green but this one was getting close to shedding and was darker, closer to an army green. Was neat looking.

Even if a snake is not poisonous, it should pretend to be venomous.

Thank you everybody for your kind support to my amateur photography!♥

Here's another angle of our cute little big-eyed snake from Madagascar. The light was harsh in the middle of the day so we used an off-camera flash and reflector to fill in the shadows.

This 18" Garter Snake came to visit my backyard yesterday and we had a lovely time visiting. It stuck around and let me take its photo for quite some time.

Another photo I took on my holidays to Scotland last week. We saw a few lizards and this Adder on a walk. I didn't realise it was there until it was right in front of me so I'm surprised I didn't scare it off! It didn't stay long though and I didn't get many shots of it without grass and bushes in the way.I haven't seen an Adder for a couple of years now and never really that close so it was nice to see.

Probably my best out of the recent Grass Snake shots (well apart from being a bit blown out on the collar). Taken at Skipwith on 29/9/10

I was checking him out, and he was checking me out. I'm terrified of snakes, so I had to stop my hands from shaking as I took this. This is a green tree python.

This snake lives on Terrapin Creek at a place called Seven Springs. He is often on his rock and has been for the last few years. On this particular day he was posed up for me.
