I hope this doesn't sound crazy.......

A few months back the below photograph was posted in the forum. I'm sorry, but I don't remember who posted it.
Beautiful snake, to say the least.

As I was looking over its pattern, colour, etc, something about its head jumped out at me. In the white area in the center of its head there's a face. Thinking I was just imagining it, I had a friend in the room look at the snake. Within a couple of seconds she said, 'looks like it has a face on top of its head.'

I've since shown the pic to family and friends, and they see it as well. Some have even said WHO they think it looks like. The two most common notables are the devil because of the 'horns' towards the top of the snake's neck, and Abraham Lincoln. Yes, quite a contrast there.

Anyways, just thought I'd share. And if you can't see the face, I'll post a pic outlining the face.

To whomever this beautiful albino belongs to, give me the say so and I'll delete the two pictures from my Kingsnake photo gallery, or give you credit for the animal in the caption in the Kingsnake Gallery. Whichever you prefer.

When the picture was originally posted no one commented, and I didn't see the post until a couple weeks later when it was, by then, buried somewhere on page 2 of the forum.

I was just going through some files on my computer and figured I'd share the story.

Like I said, I hope this doesn't sound crazy.

Happy Herping!

Here ya go.

BTW, the face still 'shows' when you zoom in closer using Windows Explorer or whatever software you use for photo viewing. Some say it looks even more detailed.

LOL Yeah, the face is there, you'll find lots of faces on granites and some of the other snakes with lighter colored heads I think David's (snakebstr) got a really bizarre one. Weird isn't it? And it's always the same face on all of them, little satan faces, damb spooky if you ask me!
