Reptiles (Anaconda, Boa constrictor, Caiman)

[Otavio]

Dear all, here are some reptiles I shot last week, on my trip to Iguassu. Take care, they bite! . Thanks for viewing...

#1 - Boa constrictor



#2 - Boa constrictor



#3 - Boa - Backlit



#4 - Broad-snouted caiman



#5 - Caiman's "hand"



#6 - A Babygator!



#7 - The Anaconda. (I would not include this, as I shot through a glass + it was far from me + lots of people around making composition impossible, but...been there, done that ).

Nice, captivating shots Otavio. I keep looking at the hand, waiting for the fingers to move!

Great shots Otavio, snakes eyes are fascinating but i'm surprised by the caimans hand I was expecting more of a 'claw' and less of a 'nail'. Almost appears manicured !!

Creepy... and #5 came from another planet right?

Great shots and what a wonderful opportunity you had. Judging from all the previous shots it was a holiday that many of us would envy.

Btw - 6 Wow! Now you owe me 3 haha.

Hi Lon. Thanks for viewing. Regarding the hand, I stayed about 15 minutes in front of this monster and I swear that he didnt move an inch! (that helped the shots, at least)

Hi, Mat. Thanks for the encouraging words. Yes, I was also surprised by the nails. I only could see that when checking the pictures on the monitor. Regards...

Bobo, that should be a secret! This is actually a Gorn's hand picture that Mr Spock sent me

Seriously, yes, it was a very pleasant holiday trip!
