I thought that this marvellous snake was deserving of a post all its own.
Eyelash pit viper, yellow phase (Bothriechis schlegelii)
Taken with the mpe at 3x mag. To take a shot like this you need to be pretty confident about the temperament of the snake and I wouldn't recommend getting this close under normal circumstances. Fortunately this particular specimen was docile and despite some warning tongue flickers neither I nor the snake felt threatened:
Thanks for looking and commenting,
