 Well, I caught the frog in the pool and the snake on the front porch. It's a baby snake or I wouldn't have touched it, for I'm afraid of snakes. I got my gloves on to pick him up because I'm such a chicken. I gently tied the frog to a stick (I didn't hurt him and he was very cooperative) and put it standing in a pot and very chicken like put the snake on the stick with the frog. He was very tiny and just kept on rapping around the stick and checking out the frog. They didn't care that either one was even there. I used a little stick to guide the snake where I needed him and got quite a few funny shots. When I was done the frog jumped back in the pool and the snake went under the deck. Hope you like the shot. Never thought I would pick up a snake!!!!

Perhaps you had no choice, but the background color doesn't look too well. Still, very nice.

Hope they get along! I like how the colors of one animal compliment the other. I think the colors would pop more with a different bg.

Biology is the dissection of frogs and snakes!

Nicely done macro -- how'd you talk them into keeping their eyes in the same plane? :-)
