Saw this beautiful snake at a pet store. I nicknamed it Smiley because of its friendly face. Since its pattern of colors includes autumn shades of rust, brown, and yellow, I'm putting it in the Monthly Theme category.

Exif: F Number: 3.6, Exposure Bias Value: -0.33, ExposureTime: 10/300 seconds, Flash: did not fire, compulsory flash mode, ISO: 320, White balance: Auto white balance, FocalLength: 4.60 mm, Model: FinePix F500EXR

Wow! Mary, my first reaction was to favorite this right away. I'm blown away with the colors and details and you've composed it so well to show the length of the body. It's charming indeed but not deadly I hope. #10376553
