Most people fear snakes and don’t want to even look at them. Still they are fascinating reptiles in different colors and lengths. The photographer Guido Mocafico saw the beauty in them, and took amazing shots of them that it almost looks like detailed paintings.
While some people take photos of dangerous snakes, these guys are keeping pythons, among other dangerous animals, as pets.

oh beautiful! I do like snakes and these photos are amazing. I especially like the green cobras and the white and yellow snakes. Thanks for sharing!
Beautiful.
Are those images available any larger, for use as desktop wallpaper?
Beautiful! It would be nice to know what types of snakes these are (the fourth snake down is gorgeous!).
Gorgeous snakes, but it would be nice if the pics were labeled with the name of the snake.
Wow.. That Green is Superb
Great gallery, really interesting images.

This is such a beautiful portrayal of an amazing and yes, misunderstood species. What a bold, interesting and awe-inspiring set of pictures.

Great-great-great!!! Those who fear snakes (on a computer screen)just don't get the beauty!
Better definition pics would be a treat!
I love snakes! These photos are amazing! Very nicely done. Bless u for sharing!
These are great abstraction shots as they are presented especially on the black background. Very intrigung
Wonderful!! i Have never seen snakes This colorful would Have been better if the names and species are tagged along with each picture.
To those people who are like “THATS CREEPY / scary”. Get a life, if you aren’t interested in seeing photographs of snakes, simply don’t look at them. Bad mouthing something is not necessary. Keep your hateful comments to yourself.
These photos are amazing.
Beautiful! Wish I could have a few of those, those are some gorgeous kings and boas. I hope whoever took these took care for the animals’ welfare. Love snakes!
Can you imagine any one of these as a jig-saw puzzle?
I have seen these before! In Elton John’s condo off of Sunset Blvd. No joke!
Love the Beauty!
I want a few of these as my Desktop wallpaper!
I want to know what species? I am obsessed with blue snakes, but I don’t know the names of any real blue snake species. Any help???? (Email me please!!)
To “samsamw_cool” Those are green mamba’s. But they do have a blue cast to them. If you like blue snakes, check out the red tail green rat snake. Some are very blue. Ours is very blue with a grey tail. Also check out the Blue Beauties. They have a pattern but are blue and black.

1. Mamba
2. Texas Indigo?
4. Mamba
11. Mamba

I think 5 and 13 really look like cobras.
I hardly ever comment on posts, but your post encouraged me to applaud your blog. Thanks for writing up this great read, I’ll bookmark this blog and check in once in awhile. Cheers.
creepy. these are on Elton John’s bedroom wall.
they don’t look real
These pictures were hard for me to look at and Im sure Im going to be paranoid for the rest of the day but they are beautiful.
So they’re just a bunch of snakes in a rectangle shape.
Who cares?
If you’re gunna give me amazing pics of snakes, have them actually doing something amazing rather than being all boxitronic. Fail pictures. Repetitive too.
I LIKE IT … SHHHHHHHHUUUUUUUU………..
They all look basicly the same.
Snakes in some boxes.
its like zuma!

Wow!!! Totally cool, unique treatment of a fascinating subject. Nice work.
Great!. I like this Galery.
wwwwwaaaaahhhh…. beutiful,some snake i hve seen 1st time…
VERY DANGEROUS SNAKES………HISSSSSSSSSSSSSSS
I ve seen the pics of so many varieties for the 1st time. Its lovely. if the names of them by the side would have been more appreciable.
Where the HELL… did he get all these snakes?!
Absolutely gorgeous… <3
Wow, pictures of snakes put into black boxes. Impressive…
yeah ur rait – we havent seen those ones before. and we shouldnt have. ever. these a snakes man, and those were put in a box by some ego-powerded-trip asshole. we are not suppose to see them like this its fucking disgusting – you wanna see a snake – go out in the forest and search for them!
My desire for pets as a kid was assuaged by my folks getting me a terrarium for the garter snakes I’d catch in the yard. Much easier to keep than rodents and similar feed-twice-or-more-a-day mammals… And when I got tired of them they’d go back out in the yard. Great photos of beautiful animals, even the venomous ones are great for keeping the wild rodent populations down! That biblical misidentification in Genesis is a shame…
Wow! What an amazing serpant collection!But come to think of this paradox;the most beautiful creatures are the most lethal!
Why does this guy keep all of his snakes in boxes?
How did they stop the kingsnakes from eating each other?
very good galery.
Some of these snake patterns would make an awesome carpet or tapestry
Beautiful I must say. I’m scared of them but really like looking at them though.

Awesome pictures and brilliantly taken. For some disturbing comments, they should be EDUCATED about these misunderstood species.
wonderful snakes!
