Wow! @papa-pepper, you're a genius. If you didn't study photography then it's in you. All shots are just perfect!
I love the colour of the snake and the fact that it posses no treat.

Even when we found it, it tried to run away from us and I had to go in the creek after it.

So true. Most wild creatures are always running away when they see us (humans), they strike wen they feel we are a treat to them.
I think educating people about this is the best as you said sir.
