A side image of a snake on top of a palm tree trunk, head on the far left and the body is across the image to the right. The snake's ground color is black, and the top of its entire body is peppered with small yellowish-white spots. On the sides of the body, the snake's scales change color to a bright light blue. The top of the head is a reddish orange and there is a dark bar posterior to the eye. The upper mouth scales are white.
🧵2/2 When I can freeze and just watch a #herp go about its business, it's just the best experience. While I watched, this little serpent (18in) poked its nose into nooks and crannies along the log and in the leaf litter, looking for lizard or perhaps a toad. #herps #snakes #NaturePhotography 🌿
