Irresistibly cute little Vertebral Slug Snake (Asthenodipsas vertebralis) that we spotted crossing the road one rainy night, highland of Pahang, Peninsular Malaysia.

Super cute little neonate Malayan Bridle Snake (Dryocalamus subannulatus) I spotted on a mossy tree trunk. Just when I wanted to record a short clip of it, it disappeared under the bark and never to be seen again . Peninsular Malaysia.

A mating pair of Red-headed Kraits (Bungarus flaviceps) after they were spooked by some wild animals. The male was the biggest krait I have ever seen. Truly an encounter of a lifetime. Doubt if I'll ever come across something like this again. Peninsular Malaysia.

Amazing images, Kurt! The images of the mangrove cat snake and the red-tailed green snake are spectacular - well done!

Beautiful! The Mangrove Cat Snake and the Red-tailed Green Rat Snake stand out for me as well... What lens are you using for the wide angle closeups?

Kurt,

I usually prefer the green one but the Cat Snake gets my vote this time, along with the mating pair.

No worries, I appreciate the help! So with that lens what is the working distance on some of the closeups? Can't be more than a few inches, right? Very impressive to be able to get that close!

Here are the working distances at various magnifications:

1:1 - approximately 4.7 mm from front of lens to subject
1:2 - approximately 19 mm from front of lens to subject
1:3 - approximately 36 mm from front of lens to subject
1:4 - approximately 49 mm from front of lens to subject
