Great photo Karen
Thanks rams4d!
Env, yes very possibly this is scar tissue. Lisa examined the snake said it didn't appear to be a fungal infection.
Impressive !!!
Thanks Emily! He wasn't the easier subject as he was continually moving & very tough to focus on!

Wow, that is Sooo cool!! I never seen a snake that close before.
franco1, it was about 3' long!
It's actually a curious look Adarsha - snakes "taste" the air with their tongues, so he was smelling me & also checking out his reflection in my lens!
