18th Annual Smithsonian Magazine Photo Contest Natural World
Northern rubber boa
I have always had a fascination with reptiles and have always wanted to see the unique, docile rubber boa that is one of three of the most northern species of boa and can be found in the United States. I wanted to capture the beauty and quite, secretive nature of this species and I believe I’ve done a good job of that and getting a satisfying composition of colors at the same time. It also shows how these animals have adapted to using items that we toss away as cover for their survival.
