Snakes alive!

[bloodhound31]

One of the awesome things about doing what I do, is every now and then, I get to experience the rare and unexpected. After losing one snake in the long grass, a few minutes later I found these two Red bellied black snakes wrestling. They were totally oblivious to my presence even though I was only a couple of feet away. I spotted a total of six of them today, but these two were by far the most interesting thing I came across all day.

I hope you enjoy the story!

I suspect they might have had other things on their mind. A great thing to see Baz and well photographed.
