they don't miss much

this green tree snake is down in the conservation area rather than at the house, though that nesting box was supposed to be for a vulnerable bird species, these snakes breed in here each winter. we had a bit of a cold snap for a few days, at least this one (or this could be two) was back again.
do you know for certain which are dangerous ..

@brigette I don't know all the snakes by sight, but this is without a doubt a green tree snake and is a python, not a venomous snake. I get venomous snakes here too, but I don't tend to stop and take photos, as they tend to see me and flee very fast (snakes are very shy of humans in the bush)

Great shot - is that it's body or a second snake?
November 10th, 2021  
Christina asked my question! One or two?! Great capture.
November 10th, 2021  
@christinav @jamibann good question! that's why I said it could be two snakes - life is a tangle when you are a snake 🤣

@koalagardens Sorry ... I missed your bracketed words! Doh!
November 10th, 2021  
What a great shot, it sure spotted you too!

If it is only one snake, he is tying himself in knots.
November 10th, 2021  
Hope they don't eat the birds!!
November 10th, 2021  
He certainly will know you next time !!
November 10th, 2021  
This snake is watching your every move...very alert...Great capture.
November 10th, 2021  
He is certainly giving you the eye!!
November 10th, 2021  
Yikes! I hope I don't find any in the bluebird houses. Cool capture!
November 10th, 2021  
Wow, that is one big snake! Glad they have a home for the winter, but if I saw that it'd be quite a shock
November 10th, 2021  
I hope that the birds hadn't nested in there before the snake/s arrived.

It is so strange seeing the snake in the bird house… very interesting.
November 10th, 2021  
Terrific shot!
November 10th, 2021  
Yikes

@swchappell you get used to seeing snakes, especially where you expect to, when you see them frequently for years on end 😊 but it still gives you a start when you see one where you don't expect 😂

Super detail - sure got a good shot

You are getting some great shots of these slithery guys.
November 11th, 2021  
That is one exciting close-up!
November 11th, 2021  
@gardencat yeah seems to be a particularly good snake year - maybe because last season was such a huge frog season?
November 11th, 2021  
@larrysphotos definitely, they are far too shy to get near, the moment I moved my hand down after taking this, the snake was gone in a flash!
November 11th, 2021  
Great capture.
November 11th, 2021  
Lovely shot. One or two..

You have some great wildlife where you live and you capture them so well
