Blue eyed snake
« on: January 14, 2012, 11:53:44 AM »
Going through pics from last year.   This one struck me as odd.   Really is it blue?

Awesome pic! Looks clouded over like he might be fixin to shed! Most snakes eyes get that wierd cloudy blue looking eyes when they're getting ready to shed.
What would life be without the thrill of the hunt?

Could be.  He was a little snapper.   Probably going for his 3rd button.

Sweet! We got into a big den of them in the spring of 08 just off of 97 north of Omsk near riverside! We got something like 200 snakes! One of which had 15 buttons and was about 5 feet long! :yike: :yike: came for my crotch and caught a 20 ga to the head! We saw 2 scorpions up the too! Bout an inch long and yellow!

The big ones were missing from this den this year.   Not sure where they went.  Might have just been a timing thing.  I have a couple dens up north I want to photograph.

Careful when they look like that. They are extra ornery since they can't see so well.

That's crazy, how close you get to those guys when taking pics.  Id be on edge the whole time!  Very cool photos though.
When you see the third, thin the herd.
Right now I'm somewhere picking up sheds.
