How to make a 2 minute Light box

Alright.
To make a light box in 2 minutes, you'll need these items:

4 Pieces of white printer paper.
2-6 Hard Back thick books
Tape
Light source
Near an power outlet


Start by setting the light source next to the nearest outlet.

Next tape the printer paper to the hard back books.
Tape it in multiple places... The bottom, two times on the side and on the other side. So the paper won't be round.

Tape a piece of paper to the wall so it's bottom edge is touching the carpet/floor. Once that is done, put a piece of paper on the floor connecting the bottom edge of the paper taped to the wall. Next put the books on both sides. Turn on the light! (Use florescent, they get whiter than regular bulbs.)

Your done! Check corners, adjust the paper and then put the snake in there!

Whites will be dulled with digital cameras, this can be fixed with photoshop or GIMP.

Nice tips. Thx for sharing :)

I thought a light tent is so you difuse the light, so no direct light hits the snakes.

I would suggest trying a piece of thin white sheet over the top or something to make it where the light will not shine directly on the snake.

Get a box like so... Preferably one like so:

If the box isn't white, just paint it with Appliance paint.

4.Use the hole saw to cut two holes as seen here, One on the top for light. One on the side for putting the snake in and taking pictures... Also the hole on the side, it will be a circle. Cut off any extra parts that may be in the way.
