I love your black pine snake! Very nice indeed! Also it was explained to me what the red spots were on the royal python lol.

Hi, Yeah, the Black Pines are very nice. I'll need to get a belly shot to let you see how smooth and shiny they are, like touching glass. Quite a contrast to the main body as they have keeled scales (ridge down the middle of each scale) which makes them feel quite bumpy. I'm planning to breed them next year. I thought I'd post the pic of the Royal because it really shows the heat pits. Pity somebody told you what they were. I could have sold it to you as an 'Extremely rare Pink Spot Nosed Royal Python' and made a fortune!  Bye for now, Jim |

One word - "drool". Love the shot of the Royal. Royals always look so happy. There's no doubt they've got the "cute" factor. They seem to have a constant smile on their faces. The Black Pine Snake's an absolute stunner too. In fact, all your snakes are stunners  |

some fantastic head shots mate. I wish my leos would hold still long enough for me to get pics like this lol.
I will have to admit that the head shot of the royal is by far my fave pic.

Mint photo's, how do you get them so good. That Pine and the Royal are beauties.
My snakes won't sit still long enough to get a photo like that.

Hi, I use a hide of some sort (Depends on the size of the snake). Something like a plastic flower pot or plastic tub with a 'mouse hole' cut on the edge so that there is an entrance when it is turned upside down. Guide the snake in, most of them will automatically head for cover. Touch the snake's tail to make it move in quicker. Once it's in, cover the hole with one hand and wait a few seconds for the snake to settle down. Lift the hide and take the pic before the snake begins to look for a new hiding place. It doesn't work every time though! lol! Patience can be a virtue! It also works better if you can move around the snake so you can get the best angle. Bye for now, Jim |

Nice technique as well for shooting them. I'm into photography so it's always good to hear how others take photos. I think I'll use that in the future
