#AnimalPhotography: The Herald Snake, a near harmless South African beauty
PEOPLE all around the world have a dreaded, deep fear of snakes.
I've heard it so often in South Africa: 'The only safe snake, is a dead snake'.
People need to take a step or two, perhaps three, backward and actually take the time to learn more about the different species of snakes and which are actually dangerous.
Regardless, here is a nice close-up photo of a Herald Snake I took a while back.
Now, I'm not saying go and pick one up if you see it - let alone identify it correctly - sheesh, rather just leave the poor slithery fella alone.
A Herald snake, although it can't kill, can still give you a lovely headache if it bites you.
Enjoy the photo - also, check out @mambaman's blog - he took a wonderful photo of another Herald Snake
Very nice photo. I like the composition and detail. It looks like you started a photo blog now. I miss you bonsai blogs. Your the instigator of #teambonsai now you not posting at all...Sad face
I know right - it sucks but sadly at the moment I'm waiting for the rest of the seeds to germinate. I'll probably have a good few bonsai articles in the next week or so. I discovered that Chinese Blue Wisteria can take up to a month to germinate. I did remove the liquidambar from the fridge yesterday so they are busy going through the heat treatment at the moment and should sprout within the next few weeks if all goes well. It sucks that I have nothing at the moment to write about that's bonsai related but please, bear with me. I hate it just as much. PS. I actually cropped this photo to showcase more of the snake's detail. The original was a bit dead.
