#SnakeWeek begins! An Emerald Tree Boa (Corallus canina) from Suriname, about 1.3m in length. These snakes live up in the forest canopy, pursuing birds and small mammals, and aided by a series of heat-sensing organs running along the upper line of the mouth. #herps #snakes #NaturePhotography 🌿
Angled-down side view of a large snake resting on small tree branches. The snake is heavy-bodied with a large, elongated head. The ground color is a brilliant green, with irregular grayish-white blotches and small yellow bars running down the back. The belly is visible in one place and it is a creamy yellow. The tail section is wrapped around a branch four times, while the rest of the body rests on top of the branch, drawn back into an S-shaped striking pose.

🧵 2/2 Head shot of the same snake because, well, it's just a spectacular animal. #herps #snakes #NaturePhotography #SnakeWeek🌿
Closeup side view of the head of a large green viper. The head is brilliant green, and the camera is close enough that all of the scales are well defined. The iris is a creamy yellow, and the pupil is dark and vertically elliptical.

A road cruised juvenile rubber #boa, Charina bottae, from the Sierra! Managed to save two of them from traffic while looking for #herps at night. They looked exactly like sticks on the asphalt! #herpetology #snakes #snakeweek

#SnakeWeek: Last one :( A Yellow-headed Calico Snake (Oxyrhopus formosus) from the rainforests of NE Peru. Pictured is a sub-adult; Calico Snakes are harmless to humans, and typically reach around a meter in length. #herps #snakes #NaturePhotography 🌿
ALT: An angled-down image of a snake in a loose coil, head facing left and resting on the body. From neck to tail, the ground color is a darkm deep red, and the tip of each scale is tipped in black, forming a small triangular shape. The neck is a creamy yellow, also with black-tipped scales, and the head is mostly a dark orange, with a splotch of dark red on the scales between the eyes. The iris is the same dark, deep red, with a round black pupil.

#SnakeWeek: A Rubber Boa (Charina bottae), from Washington State. Much of the time they are underground or under cover, pursuing rodents, lizards, etc. As a predator defense, these boas tuck their head under and wave their stubby tail (far left) as a distraction. #herps #snakes #NaturePhotography🌿
A side view of a heavy-bodied snake in loose coils on the ground, head facing right. The snake's ground color is a uniform light brown, with no markings, and the underside is an even lighter brown color. The scales are smooth and shiny, and the tail at far left center is just a stubby little nubbin (natural feature). The eyes are small, the iris is brown, and the pupil is small and dark.

Today for #SnakeWeek is one of my favorite encounters over the last two years, a Timber Rattlesnake, Crotalus horridus found in what is almost certainly an ambush position. No, it does not want to ambush humans or our pets, we are far too large, but it’s probably hoping for a chipmunk…
