Really nice photos, I do photography as a serious hobby and enjoy it as i do my firearms. But I dont think I would be photographing snakes that close. I would of been unloading on them and turning those snakes into chicken nuggets, sorry, I dont care much for snakes. LOL

You carry a gun that turns snakes into chicken nuggets? Man do I need an upgrade. Mine just turns apples into applesauce.
Now if we could find someone to turn spuds into fries and we might have a meal! lol

There a bit off on they're statistics. But he's a very lucky dude.
In general it's believed to be a 2 hour window for antivenin to be administered, within 2 hrs and you have about an 80% survival rate, after 2hrs you have a 20% survival rate!
Dry bites with cobras in captivity are fairly frequent, not sure with mambas, as even among experienced venomous keepers mambas and most of Australian elapids are taboo!!
One lucky duck indeed

I once ate snake fillets in HK when I was in one of my assignments. I was tricked into it by a "friend" I was assigned to stay with in his home. Of course I trusted him then, but not after.If I don't cook it, I don't eat it. If I can't cook it, my family won't eat the food either...well occasionally they will take me out to give me a break. I love my Nikons, I love photography too, SWD...
I won't photograph snakes either.
