EDITORS COMMENTS
Say Cheese! This Grass Snake is ready for its close-up!". In this print by John Cancalosi, we get an up-close and personal look at the fascinating world of a Grass Snake. With its head held high and eyes locked on the camera, this reptile knows how to strike a pose! Known for being largely diurnal, this snake from the United Kingdom can be found slithering through grassy fields all across Europe. But don't let its harmless appearance fool you - when disturbed, it may hiss and even strike (although biting is rare). But wait, there's more! When handled, this sneaky serpent has some unique tricks up its scaly sleeve. It might unleash foul-smelling contents from its anal gland or even play dead by lying on its back with mouth wide open and tongue hanging out – talk about dramatic flair! Not only does our star swim like a pro but it also hunts in water. A true multitasker indeed! So if you're looking to add some wild charm to your space, hang up this incredible snapshot capturing growth and development as the snake sheds its skin. Its mesmerizing gaze will surely captivate anyone who lays eyes on it. Remember folks: admire from afar and leave handling to the experts – unless you're fond of unpleasant odors or playing 'snake charades' yourself!
