Ken, he's IN THE BLUE, ready to shed his skin -- blind to everything but dark/light movement at this point but he has the full range of close heat-reading sensors. Great shots.

Thanks Osprey. At first I thought he was blind, but someone who knows a lot more about snakes than I do told me that was an indicator of an impending molt. He's a little one, about a foot long, still out there guarding my mailbox :)

Nice shot. Keep in mind, when they shed, snakes tend to be "grumpy."
