Originally posted by tessfully Oh wow Tom, another great capture! Looks like a large snake. Great image.... I love how clear the eye is in the first and the colours in the second.
Thanks, he's probably about three feet long, the one he was heading for in the tree stump was bigger.

Thanks, at least he's harmless. First time I've seen a snake in a tree, or this species. I understand that this species is kind or rare. They have a very limited range and unfortunately for them, they mimic a rattlesnake when threatened, which has caused a lot of them to get killed by humans.
