So most know I spend a lot of my time writing, but lately, I've fallen (back) in love with photography...especially wildlife stuff. This weekend, I was lucky enough to spend some time at a Serpetarium and out herping with friends and took some pics. I'm slowly uploading them on FB and some herping forums I go to, but I thought you guys might be interested in this experience with an endangered Siamese crocodile : )

It started out innocent enough; I just wanted some profile shots, not expecting anything glamorous.

Crocodiles are known as the divas of the reptile kingdom, so any sort of attention instantly brings joy to them.

She offered her "best side"...

I asked for a smile instead, and while crocodiles have evolved into deadly and cunning predators over millions of years, more closely related to dinosaurs than other modern reptiles, and are the only reptiles with a cerebral cortex, this is what she considered a "smile"...

I have about 500 photos I took over the weekend and am sorting them out, but if you want to see more, let me know! I'm rather proud how some turned out, especially a shoot with a very hungry and antsy King Cobra (Ophiophagus hannah), which is the longest venomous snake in the world.

One of my favorites from that set:

Anyone else do any wildlife photography? Show!

Thanks all! Here's a couple more; I don't want to post my favorites publicly until I watermark 'em (you stealing internets!) but I still like these:

Western Green Mamba (Dendroaspis viridis)

Blackheaded Bushmaster (Lachesis melanocephala) eating (these are some of the meanest-looking fuckers)
