Hidden Kingdom: Reptiles - Indian Wildlife Prints
While most eyes look for tigers, the forest floor holds its own quiet drama. Explore my rare captures of Indian reptiles, bringing the raw reality of the wild to your home.
A pair of Indian Rat Snakes on a termite mound, a behavior often associated with courtship or territorial displays. It was a fascinating and rare moment to witness and capture in Bangalore.
About Hidden Kingdom: Reptiles
When you choose a print from this collection, you are bringing a piece of the forest floor into your home. Each reptile capture, printed on heavy-weight 250 GSM archival paper, preserves the natural color fidelity and texture of the wild, designed to last decades without fading.
Most people chase the big cats when they visit places like Nagarahole or the outskirts of Bengaluru, but I have always found the forest floor just as compelling. This collection focuses on the reptiles that are crucial to our ecosystem, like the Indian Rat Snake (Ptyas mucosa).
I caught the shot you see here on a termite mound, a behavior often linked to courtship or territorial displays. It was a rare, lucky moment, and I wanted to make sure the final print did justice to that interaction. When I produce these prints, I use high-quality Giclee printing with 10-12 color pigment-based inks. This process brings out the deep blacks and subtle earthy tones of the scales that standard printing just cannot match.
Whether you are looking for an A4 print for a desk frame or a larger A1 canvas for a gallery wall, every piece I ship is on acid-free, museum-quality paper. I include a small note with each print, detailing the exact location and the story of the day I clicked it. This is not just wall art. It is a piece of the jungle's hidden history. If you have questions about how these archival prints hold up in humid conditions or which paper finish suits your lighting best, let me know. I am always happy to help you pick the right piece for your space.
