It's spring here in South Africa and with the onset of warmer weather and longer days, many little animals begin to lead a more active lifestyle - including those of the slithering kind. Snakes are a hazard here in the KwaZulu-Natal midlands and several have been seen in and around Appelsbosch, including the dangerous
Puff Adder. I photographed this large Puff Adder in the Cape Point Nature Reserve a month or so ago. I plan to watch my step carefully from here on in!
