Beautiful Boomslang Pic

This is NOT my photo - I saw it in the latest issue of Go! and I dowloaded it from their website. It's by Rene Pieper and it was highly commended in their annual photography competition. It is an Angolan boomslang. I just thought I'd share as, to me, it's a great pic of a beautiful snake

Angolan? Are they yellow up there?

Nice photo.

Stunning.
And God has Created every animal from water, of them are some creeping on their bellies, some walk on two legs, and some on four. God Creates what He wills, for sure God has Power over all things. (Noble Quran 24:45)

I wish the new genetic re-assignments would be published. I am sure this will get a new name then.
