Small, dainty and venomous

Small, dainty and venomous
This elegant juvenile pit viper was on a low plant beside the walking trail in the jungle at Bako in Sarawak. It was almost defying gravity, seeming to float.
I was entranced by it…but did not get closer than 1.5 meters just in case….they do bite.

Have a fabulous weekend

Großartige Aufnahme! Ich würde auch genug Abstand halten, obwohl nicht alle Grubenotter giftig sind. Beissen können alle ! Wünsche dir einen schönen Tag!

I don't think this species exists in Europe.... in my opinion you got too close, however the shot is really excellent.
Nice Sunday.... without snakes!

I had a maths teacher at school that fitted your title perfectly Diana :-))

Anyway...........this is a super shot......the snake is a gorgeous vibrant green colour and your focus and depth of field are spot on. Very nicely captured..!!

A high risk photo very well taken. A confession. I have a dislike for all animals that lack legs or have more than four. Five and above is already too much for me. Have a nice Sunday. Diana.

Sie sieht aus wie ein Pflanzenteil. Gut, dass du sie erkannt hast, denn sie hat Giftzähne.
Klasse Aufnahme, Diana! Einen schönen Sonntag!

You seem to love living dangerously, Diana. A rather pretty individual, whose bright colours might be a warning to predators.
