p.1 #1 · Eastern Coral Snake (Micrurus fulvius)


Back at the beginning of the month we had a cool morning and my wife, my 2 kids (5 years old and 14 months), and my 8 year old nephew were playing hide and go seek around the yard. I was in the house and my daughter comes running up to the house yelling snake, snake! I thought for sure it was going to be a red rat snake. To my surprise when I got there it was a coral snake. I ran back into the house to get my snake hook and rubbermaid container to put it in so I could relocate it. When I relocated him at his new home I decided to take a few pics. All pics were taken with the D7100 and 300mm f4 af-s. CC always welcomed and appreciated. Thanks for looking!

A beautiful snake Eric. You did very well capturing it too - both with camera and hook~ Ron

Glad to see that he was relocated to a safer area, for both his sake and your family's. Unfortunately, I know way too many people that would have taken a shovel to this guy. Oh, and nice shots!

Thanks for relocating! I always enjoy finding micrurus, but I admit I do get a bit anxious when posing and photographing the twitchy little things.

300mm isn't necessary, 50mm works just fine for me!

First off, as said above, thank you for relocating instead of taking its life!

Second, love the natural light shots. I'm jealous and hope to find one next time I visit Florida.
