Very nice shots :thumbsup:, I remember shooting that cobra last year when I visited the Zoological Garden, all I got are many blurred pictures :lol:. Then I waited till the snake got tired and slept beside the glass.:whistle:

Allow me to chip in some of my wild encounters. The last pic was taken few days ago on one of my fishing trips. The snake was black in colour so I suspect it could b a cobra. My flash could have frightened it ...saw it swam into the deeper waters :lol:

Thanks for the ID domvonn, the sea snake is quite shy, it noticed me and quickly dive back down. :(

For more reptilian stuff, here's a clip I took of a monitor catching a swamp eel! :cool:
