@ the pet store, buying dinner for Caw, the pet "ball boa constrictor"?
It was a snake-handling kind of day. Here are two of my several snakes. Clem and Cocoa are ball pythons. Clem was a sweetie from the beginning, but Cocoa took some acclimatizing...
I like this image desaturated and with a big fat contrast boost. Makes the focus on the abstract pattern...
hopes all her friends are having a great day today! She's a Royal (ball) python (Python regius). Royal pythons are native to west Africa and are one of the most docile of snake species. They are among the smaller pythons averaging about 4 -5 feet in length. Photo by Frank
needs more work.
BUT.
I just couldn't wait any longer.
plus I needed something to break up the wedding edit after edit after edit after edit etc.
Our cat, Stripes, really wants to 'greet' our new family member....but he's just not sure... (And, no--there will be no real meeting of the two! He can look, but he can't touch!)
National Geographic photographer and Nikon Ambassador Roger Strandli Brendhagen returned to Bergen during the city's most popular annual photography exhibition to redo his triumph from last time: Nikon Walk of Macro, taking interested Nikon photographers (and a few others too) from all over Bergen to Akvariet to make sure all the reptiles and amphibians there won't be able to see for the next few months.
With the photographers armed with macro lenses and flashes of all shapes and sizes, from 60mm to 200mm, from speedlights to ray flashes to dedicated macro flashes, the poor reptiles never knew what hit 'em. For me, this meant a welcome reencounter with my friend from last time, Mr. Python Regius. Though using the same lens as before, this time it was actually my own. =P
This time too there was a competition, and the best picture will be awarded a Nikkor 60mm ED AF-S Micro. This is my contribution, hope I'm in better luck this time! =)
Update: I was in a bit more luck this time, actually - this photo won the competition! =D
I believe this is quite a rare shot, actually - of the couple of hours we spent there, the snake almost never did anything like this. I was lucky to have my finger ready at the trigger AND the snake in focus when it happened. Lucky shot, indeed!

We had to feed 1 of my snakes today! This is Keevo. He is a 5ft ball python. Wouldn't even hurt a fly! He is now eating live, but i figured i wouldn't gross yall out with one of those pics. Here is a picture of his cricked jaw that he was in the middle of fixing! You can even see some left over hair in his mouth :]
Other species joined the grizzly bear celebration as well! Here a guest gets an up-close encounter with Lou the ball python.
