Description Shot this at Ryukyu Village on Okinawa. This snake is deadly and is all over the island. I didn't see any outside of a cage while there.

Great shot, very cleanly focused.


However, now I'm going to have an issue sleeping at night. I used to live in Okinawa, and we saw these little jerks everywhere.

Excellent focus. Because of the heavy rain season, habus are getting a lot of attention this year - apparently a LOT of folks on Foster and Kadena have spotted these snakes in their yards, particularly around their trash cans.

Now I tentatively tiptoe through the grass, wearing shoes and pants...

Thanks! This was a luck shot. The glass all around the habu had tons of scratches...I just took the shot and was surprised to see it turned out to be a nice shot. Thank you again for the nice comments. Hatch

Thx, I think the image is a little hot but...I agree... the eyes speak volumes. I wouldn't mess with this aggressive snake! Hatch
