Rat snake having dinner (8 imgs)

I shoot primarily plants and animals (although I'm really interested in street right now). Here's a set of 8 of a rat snake eating a dead lizard. The rat snake was only about 8 or 10 inches long. If some of you saw this at DGrin, I apologize in advance. :wink:

1. Sniffing out dinner.


2. Found something to eat!


3. "How do I get this thing in my mouth, anyways?"


4. Get a grip!

5. "For my next act, I will dislocate my jaw and swallow this lizard whole!"


6. "Down the hatch!"


7. *slurp*


8. "Now for a nap..."


Hope you enjoyed!

 

Thanks for looking and commenting. :smile:

I used to be neutral about snakes, but the more I learn about them the more I love them!

Thanks, I think so too. :smile:

Thanks for looking. :biggrin:

Oh don't worry about that! :wink:

 

Thank you for the comment...I'm glad you like it.  

Thanks for looking, Jeff. Snakes are important, that's for sure. :smile:

 

I was walking around a pond and just happened to look down and there it was! Talk about luck. :wink:

Thanks for stopping to look. :smile:

 

Thanks for looking! :smile:

You know, he was a little too small for that. He would have shrunk down the size of an angel hair pasta noodle and wouldn't have been filling at all. :tongue:

It was taken at a botanical garden in Orlando. Thanks for your kind comments. :smile:

Thank you, I'm glad you liked them!

Hehe, I like snakes though, so it wasn't a problem for me. Thanks for commenting. :biggrin:

 

Hope you enjoy your D80...I enjoy mine! I love wild hognnoses when they play dead. Funniest thing to watch. :biggrin:
