Description
Found this little fellow over in Placerita Canyon nearby my home... I believe he is a corn snake ( correct me if I am wrong! - hope not will have to do the whole image lol))
The pic of him opening his mouth didn't come out so focused as i had hoped.( uhm ..., could you get a snake comming at you like that focused ?? LOL)!!!
-So I did a bit of postwork today to try and bring it out better and included other pics too..
Hmm I am not a big snake person here and haha don't really know why I have been running into snakes lately. I don't think these ones are all that dangerous though -i didnt see any fangs... !! heres a little info on the cornsnake here!!..

Corn Snake
___Elaphe guttata__
Corn snakes may get their name from the maize corn patterns that adorn their slender bodies. Or perhaps the name stems from the snake

Wow ! Beautiful !!!!!! ;)
Excellent close up!
Beautiful close-up, good technique !
I remember comming across one of these fellows when I use to comb the hillsides of San Bernadino, and as I recall they were not that little - close to 5ft, and it was streached out sunninf itself. I don't remember which one of us ran the fastest! :) Awesome shots Kimmers! Bravo!
what an exceptional capture and details. i enjoyed the narrative too.
wow, looks fantastic, excellently done!!!! :=)
I love snakes and love your snake photography! A real spectacular series, Kimmers!!! I also think that it is a corn snake! Most of the poison snakes have elliptical pupils - BUT not all! The tail looks dangerous to me!!! A real gorgeous taken animal photography! Congratulation for it! Even if it's not a poison one - you are a brave woman!!! Bravo!!! VOTE
Jaaaaaaaaaaaaaa great capture picture
I wouldn't get any closer than that, lol. Excellent shots of these snakes. Aloha
what a mouthful! see you got the multi-imaged presentation figured out.. good for you.. fine set of shots ;]
Nice captures but they have suffered a lot from compression due to the size of this - the ones in the forum were better quality. Nice shots all the same :)
That's a very lovely smile !!!!! Superbs shots Kimmers ! And with this guy, it's better to stay in a respectable distance.... lol ! V
Excuse me but this blurring gives the right quality to this picture. The other two are similar to what a documentary photographer will do. This one has the artistic flavour which distinguish it. Beautiful work ( And I imagine that it must left you a bitter taste as it is common when we confront a potentially lethal creature).
Impressive macrophotos series.....!!!! Excellent shots.......!!!!
Niccccccccccccceeee presssssssentation Kimmersssssss. Do you speak Parsel tonge like Harry Potter? Lol You'll know it's a corn snake if you put him in the microwave for three minutes and come out with popcorn...lol
