This is a photo of my pet Ball Python just as he was about to devour his freshly killed rat.

I especially like this image since I captured the eyes of the snake, and the eyes of the rat as it is entering Hercules gaping mouth.

Every time we feed him, we are reminded of the brutality of the natural world. My faith in Jesus, and belief in the bible, frames this in perspective that this is not what was meant to be, but a result of a fallen world. Death entered the world, and this is a constant reminder....

Shot with a single Speedlight from a low forward center position, diffused through the opaque plastic of the feeding container.

Nikon D850 - F8 - 1/200 sec. @ 200mm
