Now that is truly amazing! How large was the snake? What a spotting!
Thanks Mike.
Great pictures/great rescue!
Literally in the web...
Wow- How interesting!
You're brave Jonathan! Great spotting and story.
that's true, actually the spider could not do much with this great catch. but the snake need of my help to leave the spider-web. I move it because it was across the main trail.
Woah... I bet that'll keep the spider going for months!! Incredible.
