Photobombed

Headed out my back door I was on my way to take another stab at catching a photo of a Yellowbelly Racer that had eluded me the day before when I saw a shedding Green Anole just a few steps from the door. I stopped to snap a quick shot when out of no where a Rough Green Snake appeared in the background. I couldn't open and close the shutter fast enough, desperately trying to squeeze as many shots as possible into a tiny window in time. I was more than a little frustrated that the Rough Greens tongue flick was partially obscured by the leaf but what are you gunna do. Guess I can't blame this one on my cheap little camera lol.

That shot is about 1 in a 1,000,000. Very nice timing and I agree good luck in topping that. Did you stick around to see if the anole made it out alive?

Thanks y'all. Rough greens are primarily insectivores, it showed no interest in the Anole. Just happened to be passing by.

That photo is so cool. Very fortunate timing to have been there at that particular moment. As a resident of NYC, my herp sightings (excluding my Haitian Boa) are limited to various turtle species living along the Bronx River in and around the Bronx Zoo / NY Botanical Gardens. I try to make up for it when I visit the in-laws in South Florida, though.
