Namib Sidewinder Centerfold

Another view of that same mysterious snake showing just eyes and tail in my previous photo - this time the full body view.

I Only Have Eyes For You - Namib Sidewinder This is their classic hunting pose, where they wait in the sand with only the eyes and nostril protruding. Impossible to see without a knowledgeable guide, we saw this one on the "Living Desert" tour. Don't touch though, they are venomous!
