LIttle Whip Snake pics

[moosenoose]

I had the privilege of getting some shots of one particular elapid snake I've been wanting to add to my humble collection - sad to say it didn't end up in my pocket but back out in the bush - DAMN IT!!! :lol:

Anyway here's what I could manage to take of the Rhinoplocephalus flagellum. Hard to get down to it's level and get some descent shots, and the little thing just loved moving!!.......but hey, can't complain.....

ps: I'm still looking for one of these if anyone has any contacts!

Good looking snake, very similar to the Parasuta gouldii i find in the wheatbelt and hills over here. What their temperament like? The gouldi over here are timid at best, have even had one take a real strike at me.
