I took Preshuz out for a quick handling session this afternoon! This is the only clear picture I managed to get, just try to ignore my hair looking like a bird's nest because I think this is a good clear shot of his head, the rest were blurry! (:

Ahh, thanks girls! :p He's a real sweetheart, and I think his face shape is pretty cool too cos his eyes are more to the top of his head than at the sides! I guess it's so he can stay underwater while looking out over the surface :3 If you look closely you'll also notice his nostrils are at the top of his snout rather than in the front XD He's very flattered by your compliments! :D

Sweet picture! His head shape just like my Anaconda head. Perfect for laying in the water to do some ambush hunting. He looks like a curious little guy.

Water snake! Fun fun! They have great expressions always plastered on their faces. Like others have said I love that his eyes sit atop his head rather than on the side. He is also a beautiful shiny brown/black <3

Did you buy him or did you capture him wild?

Thanks everyone! Yes, he is a very shiny snake for some reason and in sunlight his scales do have some rainbow iridescence like the sunbeam snake (http://www.learnanimals.com/sunbeam-snake/), which are found around the same parts. It's nowhere near that bright but it's definitely noticeable! I don't know how to photograph them but I'll try to get a picture if he decides to cooperate :p

He does have a cute expression doesn't he! I bought him from a breeder, but I wasn't told if he was bred in captivity or captured! Mostly likely bred (:

You are lucky to have a unique looking snake :) Does he have a smile plastered on him? It looks like he has a jolly expression all the same from the image you showed. Bet he has an interesting profile shot with those high set eyes.
