EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the delicate beauty of a Jans Banded Snake coiled around the photographer's finger. Found abundantly in the sandplain surrounding Perth, Western Australia, these tiny hatchlings are known for their mild venom but rarely exhibit aggressive behavior towards humans. Simoselaps bertholdi, as they are scientifically known, spend most of their time beneath the sandy terrain hunting burrowing lizards. The Swan Coastal Plain, where Perth is situated, is home to various species of burrowing snakes; however, encounters with this particular snake species are frequent due to its prevalence in the region. The image showcases the intricate patterns and vibrant colors that adorn this reptile's slender body. Henry Cook skillfully captured this moment in stunning detail and vivid color. The focus on the foreground draws attention to both the snake and human interaction while emphasizing their contrasting sizes. This photograph serves as a testament to Australia's diverse wildlife and highlights our ability to peacefully coexist with even mildly venomous creatures. Displayed horizontally against a backdrop of natural surroundings under bright daylight, this image evokes a sense of wonderment and appreciation for nature's wonders. It reminds us that amidst vast landscapes lie hidden treasures waiting to be discovered by those who take notice.
