Red-bellied Snake
This Red-bellied Snake was crossing an Arkansas country road I like to walk that is near my place in the Ouachita Mountains. This was my first time seeing this type of snake, and I had to do some research to find out what it was. I also photographed a Ring-necked Snake on this same day and this was also a first.
How I Got The Photo – Red-bellied Snake
I got low while hand-holding my camera. I was lucky, and this snake stayed put while I photographed it.
