ENGLISH
- "Look over there!"
- "Where?" clueless.
- "There!"
- "I don't see anything," leaning forward a little more.
- "You don't see it?"
- "What thing?" already thinking they're pulling my leg.
- "The snake!"
- "Where?!" as I jump in fright.
That was part of the dialogue before I started shooting my camera. We were walking down the street in an arid place, with high temperatures, and one of the companions told me what was described above in order for me to photograph the little reptile. It was difficult to distinguish it slithering through the barbed wire. Besides, its color blended in with the barren background. Pardon the ladies for my color selection, but everything had a sort of brownish tone to it. It was by distinguishing her that I was also able to help the camera spot her.
Her face is nicely outlined with other lighter shades. Her eyes are striking, because they have another very contrasting tone. She seemed to run away from us, while sticking out her tongue. I understand they do it to measure the humidity in the environment, but I'm not sure. Of course, I took the shots quickly, I could barely frame and focus, because she was moving fast.
It made me laugh because some people who accompanied me told me not to get so close because it could be dangerous, it could even jump on me. And well, between fear and skepticism I took these pictures. You will be happy to know that I survived.
When we asked the local people and showed them the photos, they told us that they called the snake "Bejuca", and that it was not dangerous, it was not poisonous. But how was I supposed to know?! We still had to take our precautions.
I hope you enjoyed getting to know this Bejuca from the comfort of your device.

SPANISH
- "¡Mira allí!"
- "¿Dónde?", despistado.
- "¡Allí!"
- "No veo nada", inclinándome un poco más hacia adelante.
- "¿No la ves?"
- "¿Qué cosa?" Ya creyendo que están tomándome el pelo
- "La culebra"
-"¡¿Dónde?!", mientras brinco del susto.
Ese fue parte del diálogo antes de que empezara a disparar mi cámara. Estábamos caminando por la calle en un lugar árido, con altas temperaturas, y una de las compañeras me dijo lo descrito anteriormente con el fin de que fotografiara al pequeño reptil. Era difícil distinguirla deslizándose por el alambra de púas. Además, su color se fundía con el fondo árido. Disculpen las damas por mi selección de colores, pero todo tenía un tono algo así como marrón. Al distinguirla, fue que pude también ayudar a la cámara a detectarla.
Su rostro está muy bien delineado con otros tonos más claros. Sus ojos son llamativos, porque tienen otro tono muy contrastado. Ella parecía huir de nosotros, mientras sacaba la lengua. Tengo entendido que lo hacen para medir la humedad en el ambiente, pero no estoy seguro. Claro, los disparos los hice rápido, apenas pude encuadrar y enfocar, porque ella se movía rápidamente.
Me causaba risa porque algunos que me acompañaban me decían que no me acercara tanto porque podría ser peligros, que podría hasta lanzarse sobre mí. Y bueno, entre el miedo y el escepticismo tomé estas fotos. Les alegrará saber de que sobreviví.
Al preguntar a las personas del lugar y mostrarles las fotos, nos dijeron de que llamaban a esa serpiente "Bejuca", y que no era peligrosa, no era venenosa. ¡¿Pero cómo iba a saberlo?! Igual debíamos tomar nuestras previsiones.
Espero que les haya agradado conocer a esta Bejuca desde la comodidad de su dispositivo.
