Two albino Tiger Pythons (Python molurus) "kissing"
The left one had removed its old skin just minutes before, You can see a rest on its nose (and yes, I have photos from this). These snakes become very large, up to 7m. The two here are rather large too, not easy to say, but maybe 5m.
After so many studio shots I today needed to go "for a snake" with my sons. Taken in Salzburgs "Haus der Natur" with my new macro lens.

The Rhinoceros Iguana (Cyclura cornuta) is a threatened species of lizard of the genus Cyclura that is primarily found on the Caribbean island of Hispaniola, shared by the Republic of Haiti and the Dominican Republic. They vary in length from 2 to 4 1/2 feet and skin colors range from a steely gray to a dark green and even brown. Their name derives from the bony-plated pseudo-horn or outgrowth which resembles the horn of a rhinoceros on the iguana's snout.
