Machete Savane visiting our lodge in the Amazon Like all whipsnakes this one was very fast moving and hard to get a good picture - but of a large number of black and yellow blurs, this one was OK. It was in the grass outside of our lodge right after breakfast one morning.

    You captured at least one very great one, showing most of its body and all of it in focus, nicely done! Posted 8 years ago
