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

What a beauty, mate! (Just had to say that in my best Crocodile Hunter impression.) The thing that always gets me about snakes is that they appear so lethargic, then they can lash out so quickly! Easy to see how they surprise their prey. That last shot is the greatest, even if a bit blurred!
A very "cute" snake (if such a thing exists). I had a pet snake when I was a kid. I liked the way his forked tongue tickled my nose. This is a great shot of a colorful reptile. Looks like it actually tryed to bite you. Excellent. V
Well actually, I think that's perfect. What focus would you have with a gape wide open snake advancing towards you. I mean... THAT'S ALL MOUTH.
Handsome critter...lol, excellent macro shots portrayed here with great detail, my, my, he sure has a big mouth..hehe. V
Fantastic! Excellent done!*****!
How would she catch mice without fangs??? I'm glad she didn't bite you!!! She may be is not poisened but I think also just a bit wouldn't be fun!!!! Excellent pictures!!!! You capture really everything!!!!V

Hehe. Luckily you were fairly certain it was a corn snake. I dont think you want to be charged by anything venomous ;) Lovely shots.
I really, really like your images. I don't normally 'do' snakes, but this one just grabbed my attention. You're a braver person than me for getting this close.
