I caught this little guy yesterday (don't worry, I didn't catch him with my bare hands) a tiny copperhead. I thought the little yellow tail was interesting so I looked it up, it's a newborn baby copperhead. Yes, they are poisonous but so pretty and so interesting to look at close up.
Copperheads are pit vipers so I got to get a close look at the heat sensing "pits" on the front of its head and its tell-tell elliptical pupils.

Granted the yellow tail is interesting but you KNOW I'm shuddering and saying "ICK!!!!"
I love the picture looking down. You can see so much detail. I love the patterns in nature.

Love the first picture looking down on the snake. It has inspired me to draw this incredible little beast from that angle. Love your photography.
