Challenge has finished

Take a high quality, well composed photograph of one or more than one snakes showing why your equipment is the best to bring out the genius in you. The shot, which can be taken with any Canon or Nikon camera, must have brilliant/vibrant (but natural looking) colours. If the snake is photographed swallowing a furry lunch, that'll be great. Please do not endanger your life while taking the shot.

This little guy crawled out of a hole while I was fixing a fence and attempted to look fierce, but quickly lost interest (and retreated) when I reacted by taking his picture.
