Gorgeous Tiger Snake Photos!

[TaraLeigh]

Just thought I'd chuck a handful of photos up I took on Saturday.
We found this gorgeous boy. I think he is just a stunner.
Thought you guys might enjoy a gander.

Yeah location, location. I have the Plenty River not far from me in Greensborough and have seen the odd Tiger down there. As my interest has risen so has my eagerness to cast the eyes a little more sideways when I go for a stroll down that way.

As Nic Cage says in Conair - "nice work, truly nice work".

Awesome pictures...especially the last one.

Thats a really pretty one! Nice find!

I found two doing the jungle shuffle in Wilsons Prom a few days ago, but instead of grabbing the camera I grabbed my hook. Missed the snakes and the photo as they both shot down a hole in thick scrub...talk about dumb! :lol:

 

[TaraLeigh]

Cheers everyone!
Location location..... Geelong area.
I hope he sticks around for a while too.
I dunno if it even is a he.... but I think he is a big old man and hopefully he has charmed some ladies and there is more of his genes out and about! Cause damn he is great, I still can't get over it.
THE best looking Tiger Snake a lot of people have ever seen.
I have also seen a few other species down there. Same day we found a Little Whip Snake.
Here's another Tiger pic, a water skink and the amazing Copperhead we found a fortnight too, same location, unfortunately he wasn't like the Tiger who I got hundreds of photos of, this is the one and only shot I got of this one before it darted into some scrub, oh and it's tail:

definantly the most yellow from down that way and so clearly banded,its the type of specimen you can see why early settlers and zoologists
called it ..........Tiger snake

Gorgeous Tiger and the Copperheads not bad either.

 

[JackTheHerper]

Just did this in photography

I love these pics Tara, and here on the other side of the bay, tigers with the classic yellow like this are almost non existant although we do get pretty much all the other colours of the rainbow here.
This IS one the best looking wild tigers I have seen.
