Snake: Don't come any closer !

This is not an insect or bird, so I put under Nature, please forgive

me if this is the wrong category.

 

This snake was having a sunbath on a concrete slab and I didn't know

what kind of snake; whether it is poisonous or not... So I came as

close as possible while adjusting the manual focus with one eye, my

other eye was making sure it didn't move towards me :)

 

Your comments welcome, also if you know what kind of snake is this

please let me know.

very good capture omer waiting for more

Its a wonderful shot, but I think its a slow-worm, a type of legless lizard, not a snake. Keep up the good work though.

Eline saglik guzel calisma.... Yorum yaptigin fotografim ters duruyor :) selam ve sevgiler

Hi, I got some info about this reptile from an academic person in herpetolgy. It turned out to be a leggless lizard hehehe. It is called Ophisaurus ventralis (Eastern glass lizard). It looks and moves like a snake but it ain't a snake. Sorry for the confusion. But recently I got confronted with a BlackRacer (non-venomous) and got chased by a Water Moccassin (aka Cottonmouth), very venomous, I better be safe than sorry.

Lizard or not I would not want him around, nice catch.

He's pretty, next time give him a little finger-rub under the chin for me. I'm both you and he will enjoy the experience.
