Description
A huge carpet python that was in the reserve. It wasn't aggressive at all and let me get really close to it (but not too close!) You can see the heat sensing pits just under its' mouth in this photo. Those pits enable snakes to 'see' heat.If you want to see more from my Wildlife gallery click here: [link]

Very brave of you to get so close, and a brilliant result to reward it. I love the way you've managed to capture the essence of a curious/restful snake in this 'simple' snap.
