I love how much he looks like a sith lord here. Last photo from MONA :). I highly recommend everyone to go check it out if you ever find yourself in Tasmania!

The Green or Common Tree Snake is one of the most commonly seen snakes in suburban backyards, parks, and even inner city gardens. It lives in northern and eastern Australia.
Green Tree Snakes have no fangs and no venom. They are very reluctant to bite and would rather slither away. If provoked, a Green Tree Snake will rise up, inflate its throat and body, and make a stink from its anal glands – so best not to get too close.

Milk Snakes are non venomous but they can pack a mean bite and draw blood! As first hand witnessed as a boy. These snakes can reach between 3-6 ft. long.
Interesting thing was this snake coiled up on me when in the grass and vibrated his tail just like a rattle snake! He struck at the stick I put near him!

I took this Dendroaspis viridis (Green mamba) on snakeday (July 16th, 2016) at the fabulous reptile zoo of Peter Zürcher in Carinthia/Austria.
The Snake River Canyon (also known as the Grand Canyon) is formed by the Snake River in western Wyoming, United States, south of Jackson Hole. The Snake River cuts through a fold and thrust belt on its way from Hoback, Wyoming to Alpine, Wyoming. The North American Plate has pushed against the Farallon Plate to create many geologic features including the folds and thrusts visible in the Snake River Canyon in Wyoming.
A close encounter of the herpetological kind!

▶ Photographer's notes.
☞ This critter was probably as startled by us as we were of him. I pulled Charlie the dog back to safety after he rooted it out of the foliage. Not being a herpetologist, I was concerned it might be a venomous eastern copperhead (Agkistrodon contortrix) snake. Or maybe it was a harmless common watersnake (Nerodia sipedon). [See comments below.]
☞ Apologies for the top-down look—I wasn't sanguine about getting to eye level!— and for the motion blur —the snake was slithering away and I needed to shoot quickly without adjusting camera settings.

NS 205 (Buffalo, NY - 63rd st Chicago, IL) snakes westbound through the s curve at CP 485 on the NS Chicago Line in Burns Harbor, IN with the Rio Grande Heritage Unit, UP 1989 (SD70ACe) leading the way. Taken: 7-19-21
One thing I’ve been very unlucky with is UP Heritage Units, this only my second leader for the first time in 4 years? They’re by far some of the hardest heritage units to get out there. It’s also not too often they sneak off UP rails so it was nice to finally be in position to get one.
Wide angle shot of a a beautiful adult male Smooth Snake (Coronella austriaca). He was seen actively crossing a road on a sunny afternoon running through a steep and elevated patch of open Juniper woodland (Juniperus foetidissima). The location was Mikri Prespa NP in Greece.

Snake wine is an alcoholic beverage produced by infusing whole snakes in rice wine or grain alcohol. The drink was first recorded to have been consumed in China during the Western Zhou dynasty and considered an important curative and believed to reinvigorate a person according to Traditional Chinese medicine. It can be found in China, Goa (India), Vietnam, and throughout Southeast Asia.
The snakes, preferably venomous ones, are not usually preserved for their meat but to have their "essence" and snake venom dissolved in the liquor. The snake venom poses no threat to the drinker. It is denatured by the ethanol—its proteins are unfolded and therefore inactive and would be denatured by stomach acid anyway. [Wikipedia]
