EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the mesmerizing features of a Green Tree Python up close. The image showcases the intricate details of its head, particularly highlighting the bulges that conceal its powerful jaw muscles. These hidden forces are a testament to the snake's incredible strength and ability to constrict its prey. The focal point of this snapshot is undoubtedly the snake's striking green eyes with vertical pupils. These piercing orbs not only add an element of intrigue but also serve as a telltale sign that this serpent is a skilled nocturnal hunter. With these large, all-seeing eyes, it navigates through darkness effortlessly, making it an apex predator in its natural habitat. Originating from New Guinea and Northern Australia, this reptile thrives in tropical rainforests where it can camouflage seamlessly among lush foliage. Its scientific name Chondropython virdis reflects both its affinity for trees (hence "Tree Python") and vibrant green coloration. Laura Wickenden masterfully captured this moment in nature through her lens, showcasing her expertise in zoology and herpetology photography. This print serves as a reminder of the awe-inspiring diversity found within our world's ecosystems while paying homage to these magnificent creatures who call them home
