Slug Eater Portrait

This was my first slug eater. A gardener at school alerted me that he had seen a snake in a hedge he was trimming. I went to catch it. The snake was small but the markings were beautiful. I took some shots in my garden before releasing it there. I have since caught several snakes from this species and there are extremely easy to handle as they are very placid.

Nikon D700, Nikon 85mm Macro VR, F13, 1/100s, ISO 800, handheld.
