Great shot. You just have to keep on taking photos and eventually by the law of averages you will get one with the snake's tongue out - works for me anyway :) What a beauty! Great shot.

How wonderful to meet someone else who appreciates flickering rattlesnake tongues. I wonder how many of us there are in the world. I’m very happy with the tongs.

It comes from being a lifelong snake-lover. With the expensive tongs I bought for the task, relocation is actually pretty easy. Thanks, David. It comes from being a lifelong snake-lover.
