Hi Theologos,
you are an excellent snake photographer. Here you caught a very natural situation, the composition is good.. We don't see Malpolon often on TN. Well done, thanks for presenting.
Best regards
Dietrich

Theologos,
This is a big one; surprised it was a juvenile.
Well done

This is a great portrait of this young Montpellier Snake, taken with fine sharpness and set in an excellent composition to include practically all the snake.
Efcharisto!
