Tiger !!!!

[blacknstormy]

We went looking for a bandy bandy last night (a kind of snake), and came across a tiger snake, (Notechis scutatus) instead How lucky were we !!!! I just caught a glimpse of it by headlamp going around the side of a log, Damian was able to grab it's tail and we were able to get some photos It didn't mind Damian at all, but really had the shits with me and wouldn't stop facing off After looking at the shots after though, we figured out the snake was about to shed (the eyes are milky).

Excellent shots, Rel. The second and third ones are smashing. White balance looks a bit off again - when are you getting your laptop fixed?

I didn't realise these snakes were out and about at night. Is is something they can do on any night or only if it is warm?

thanks guys Lappy is in limbo - not sure whether to get it fixed or just upgrade ... And yes, think the colours are off again
Andrew - we found this guy just after dusk - probably going home for the night as it was a little cool. They can be active at night when it is warm though
Cheers

You're braver than me getting that close to a tiger. And because of that they are fantastic images.

Great shots Rel. Looks like a healthy specimen too. It was good excuse for not phoning me that night!
