The Dice Snake - A stinky visitor

in #naturephotography7 years ago

The hebrew name of the dice snake, translates to "plaid water snake" :)
I was walking around a rain-water pond nearby, looking for turtles and maybe interesting birds, and all of a sudden I noticed this gem right about a meter or two away!
The dice snake eats frogs and insects, and it does not bite, in fact it is completely harmless to humans beside it's ability to release a black, paste-like stuff that stinks like hell!

I took a bounch of photos, I'll upload the best 2 - a closeup followed by a full body shot.

First the closeup:

And the full body shot:

Cool info and photography but still don't like snakes lol

Neither do I, I like them from a distance :)

You have got some courage dude !
I simply run away when I see a snake XD

Nah, it was 1 or two meters away, and I knew that its not venomous and can't bite :) Thanks :)

That is a great capture, but I am scared of snakes. I can't even imagine to go infront of them.

Thanks, it's ok, I'm afraid of them too :)))
