Photoshoot - Mostly Venomous

ccphoto Apr 16, 2012 10:13 AM

Ok, so I've been writing an article on hybrid herps (in nature and in the hobby) and have been querying extensively about hybrid photos - or even the chance to go and photograph the herps myself. My new-found friend Jerry, owns a snake presentation business here in NY - known as Snakeman's Snake Shows (http://www.jerrythesnakeman.com/). Anyways, Jerry was kind enough to let me come over (about an hour drive) and photograph the hybrids he has - a jungle corn and a couple Southern x Northern copperheads - as well as photograph anything else I requested to be taken out of it's cage... Jerry was extremely accommodating and just awesome overall!

So enough backstory, here are some of the shots I thought were the best out of the ones worth keeping. I know what most, if not all, of them are - so feel free to ask. Such an impressive and varied collection he has!




Quite possibly my new favorite snake in the world - love this one and it's sinister smile















Totally underrated and very cool










Here's lookin' at you kid




Oh and of course ATBs

My new favorite ATB, produced by Billy

Looks like some sweet shots, but we can only see the small (I assume) versions in your post. The linked photos on you flickr page are all private...

What goes up must come down...unless it exceeds escape velocity.

Thanks Larry!

The flickr was just a method to get the photos posted here. I did go through and open them up to public viewing, so they can be seen in flickr now.

There's a Timber x copperhead cross out there. I don't know if it was intentional or not, but I'm hoping it was the latter.

Really Alex? I'm extremely interested in seeing it as I have not heard of many venomous hybrids - especially rattlers mixed with any other species. Any chance you have a link to who has it or photos?
