Stretch to the max

[doenoe]

I fed my snake again and i took this pic. It shows how a snake skin can stretch. Normally the scales are right next to eachother. Just see how much space is between them now, just amazing.

Whoa!
What is it - a baby rat again?
Wow.
Then the idea in "The Little Prince" about the snake that has eaten an elephant and then looks like a hat in a drawing isn't too wrong, after all?
Well, of course I know that no snake can eat a whole elephant, but.... you know what I mean? And this lasts for a week or 10 days or so? Cool life! But none too frequent dinners out in the restaurant. Ah well..........

whoa! now that is an extreme close up
interesting texture.. cool shot :thumbsup:

hehe yeah, no frequent restaurant visits. And yes, its was another baby rat. The stretching is gone almost instantly. The part on the picture is her throat and its stretches very much. You can see the bump in her body for about 2 days and after 7 days ill feed her again.
Extreme close ups are fun, gotta love the 300mm lens
And thanks for the comments
