Saverio please:-D
Welcome to the forum. I'm sure, as you are already doing, however, be able to accompany your beautiful shots with descriptions and tips relevant to the species captured. Well this can only be a positive and growth for all.
It 'been a pleasure postprodurre such great beauty ... good old D70s.
Hello and congratulations

But how! Here I urge to accompany photos of nature and comments on the field you complain too much because I dwell in this talk! However, as my official postproduttore, you can afford the ... ;-)
As regards the D70s confirm that as "utilitarian" behaved well in filming of photographic hunting.

Oh my what a beauty! Taking great compliments and congratulations for knowledge. I who am abbituato to glimpse the snakes escape at the slightest movement, I remain enchanted before a shot like that and know that the subject has not been handled but photographed in nature as he was! Lots of healthy envy! :-)

Thank you all.
Ivan, at certain times of the year or day snakes become "photogenic". When the temperature is lowered beyond a limit that varies from species to species, reptiles are not able to carry out with full efficiency of the various biological activities. Since their body temperature depends on the ambient temperature, have the need to expose themselves to the sun or stationed on surfaces that tratttengono the heat and convey them to the body (for example rocks, roads etc..). This phase of their life cycle, called "thermoregulation" is particularly long in the days before or after hibernation: in these days we photographers have the best opportunity to portray stationary. It's all about knowing the dates: to photograph the Colubro leopard, for example, the periods indicated are the last days of March (yettime!) and the second half of November.
I hope you did not get bored. ;-)

I am glad that the trigger is to your liking and, above all, that there are people so sensitive to recognize the beauty in a snake. Unfortunately we are few, most of them are blinded by atavistic repulsion and unfounded fears to see this beauty. So poor Colubro leopard often ends up killed with a stick ...

Bored? Imagine I remain hours listening to the voice of those who are more experienced than me! :-)
Snakes have always fascinated me, and I am more dangerous and increase in beauty ... :-) Going back to the leopard snake, I do not live where I live (northern Italy) for which the subject that I photograph are others, such as the rat snake, the grass snake, the viper and the adder aspis, they say they are the most common that I meet during my walks in the woods or in the mountains ... Doro that you never once termoregalarsi but I saw them in the sun, the meetings have taken place almost always moving and lasted a few seconds ... :-)
I would really likebetter known habits of these animals, especially species that I can find where I live ... Can you recommend a book that might well satisfy my curiosity these?
Thank you very much

Thank you, Ivan. The two Viperidi you mentioned are pretty phlegmatic: If you were put in front (of course at a safe distance), they would stop, assuming a posture of "alert" with the head portrait that is ideal for photographic make all fair and disturbing beauty ...
The sand lizard is a common subject more problematic because agile and biting (although harmless).
For Natrice from the collar should find a spot that usually attends and appostarti (see the picture I posted in this section).
As for the bibliography, two classics of disclosure herpetological works are Silvio Bruno: "Guide to the Snakes of Italy" (ed. joints Hammer) and "The Blood of Italy and Europe" (ed.Mondadori). I'm going from memory and I'm not sure that the title of the second book that I mentioned sia correct.
If in the future you will want documentation page also on snakes in Sicily, you report it privately two of my chores.
Good photos and good reading ;-)

I too have "recovered" one with a veranda on the ground floor of a house in the suburbs. It 'been almost that have not killed, as the common thought is that all snakes are dangerous, and which, in this particular, eyes not careful, at first glance looks like a viper.
Of course, after my photo session was returned to nature.

In the south-eastern Sicily and the Salento leopard snake is not so rare. You have to know the times and periods are most suitable to meet him.
