Viper | Thursday Sep 02, 2010

I nearly stepped on this thing the other day whilst out gathering mushrooms in the forest with a friend. I have NEVER seen a snake in the wild before, and this one was a beauty! You should have seen it sink it's teeth into the end of my hiking stick! I nearly pissed my pants when it struck the first time....hehe. Such a priviledge to see a wonder of nature like that though, I'm still blown away now.
