Unbelievable and beautiful shots Kurt! If it had been me there instead of you, the viper would appear as the car named after it...a big BLUR. I would have turned tail and run! Poke it with a stick YIKES
taht and I really, REALLY didn't expect to see MPE65+Pit Viper+in the wild PLUS and I tried poking it with a stick! hah, yikes
Down under we have our share of the worlds most venomous and quite a lot of them. Apart from the small scaled Taipan (aka Fierce Snake) most are very shy and will only strike when cornered or frightened. Majority of victims are guilty of serious stupidity. Poking them with sticks is one of the better ways to get bitten.
Doesnt detract from the quality of these pics though. great work
