Through a unusual set of events Dinesh of Timbaktu came to be in possesion of a bunch of snake eggs and on my last trip one of them hatched. Dinesh who is an experienced photographer took some excellent pics of the half-hatched snake. Given the tiny size of the actual egg, perhaps a centimeter or two in length, the photos have amazing clarity (if you expand to see the full size photo). He took them with my camera and I had no idea that you could get such closeups with it. I got to read the user manual !
He also used the opportunity to show off a (moulting) non-poisonous snake that he happened to have around. We took a very nice short movie, but its too large to publish (14.4MB).
