Just back from holiday in Goa and thought I'd post a couple of images.
Met up with a friend who is a local snake catcher and took a few of a nice Russels Viper.
For those who havent worked with this species they are.....well irritable!!!

Below Tailing a very large male
Below Head shot..wife very scared at this stage..women!!!

That Daboia is absolutely massive, having worked with a few in collections it puts into perspective the difference between wild animals and CB the colors are so so different to CB animals from WC India parents.
Glad you enjoyed your trip.
