Snake's Got Style - Macleays Water Snake Takes a Refreshing Break in Aussie Creek!
EDITORS COMMENTS
. In this snapshot captured by the talented Etienne Littlefair, we witness the incredible moment when a Macleays water snake decides to make a stylish appearance in an Adelaide River creek. With its sleek body and mesmerizing patterns, this venomous reptile knows how to turn heads! As it gracefully emerges from the depths of the shallow water, our scaly friend is on a mission - to catch some well-deserved air! The split-level composition of the photo allows us to marvel at both its underwater elegance and its triumphant surfacing for that precious breath. This fearless creature belongs to the squamate family and is known for its love of freshwater habitats. Its vibrant colors blend perfectly with the surrounding environment, making it almost impossible to spot unless you have an eagle eye like Etienne Littlefair. While some may shy away from encountering snakes, there's no denying their undeniable charm and beauty. This particular species showcases nature's artistry at its finest - showcasing intricate patterns that are as unique as fingerprints. So next time you find yourself near an Australian creek or river, keep your eyes peeled for these fashionable serpents. And if you're lucky enough to capture their stunning presence on camera like Etienne did here, remember to appreciate their wild allure while keeping a safe distance!
