Kyle Bishop-Scott, Cold Blood (ANIMAL 2024)

An Eastern Long-Necked Turtle, Collared Whip Snake, and a juvenile Freshwater Crocodile. The crocodile and turtle are still, in my opinion, some of the best photos I've taken thus far. Both photos were taken in the Cairns Aquarium, only a few days after I bought my camera. The photo of the young Collared Whip Snake was taken recently along a small creek I was wading through in the hills behind the James Cook University Smithfield Campus. The snake was only about 10cm long, and its head no bigger than my little fingernail. It was quite happy so swim and crawl around me while I took some photos, This is one of the more unique angles of it that I managed to capture.
