The Cuddler

This was one of my biggest fears to overcome...I've been frightened of snakes all my life but was determined to overcome it and I DID.lol
After a few hesitant tries, I finally got brave enough to stroke the Boa Constrictor and handle it with the guide's instructions.
To my amazement, they are surprisingly wonderful to the touch. Also, knowing that it had already eaten was a major relief. :o)

Good shot with the selective focus. Snakes are hard to get comfortable with. They are kinda "clingy" as they like your body heat. We used to have an 8 foot boa kind of like this one. V

The clarity and colors of this shot are what I love.
I'm not afraid of snakes as long as they don't 'get' me.
I wonder if this one was to be dinner?

This is quite scary. I am not
fond of snakes (make that terrified).
Proud of you for overcoming your fear.

Braver than me! Nice shot, but that's as close as I'd want to get :) V~
