[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
This species is the only snake from the cobra's family in Israel. The Walterinnesia aegyptia can reach 1.2 m', actives during the night, and feeds on rodents and reptiles that it find mostly by smelling.
I took the photo of this snake after it penetrated into a hose in a small town near Jerusalem.

Hi Avid,
great great shot! I love snakes and I'd love to see more. Just a pity that the sharpness of the head is not the best,
anyway, thanks for showing this picture,
Oki

Hi Aviad,

This looks like you're pretty close! Nice POV although could have been lower and composition could be cropped more and centred a little more. Have done a workshop for you.

Well done though good shot of this dangerous looking character!

Hi Aviad ,
Impressive animal and image...
The head is a tad softer if I'm not mistaken...
Hope you are very successful in Namibia and I'm looking forward to view your images...
