Photo Day, including The Granite Burmese

No intro really needed - just a few pictures from yesterday, playing around with my new 5D Mk ii and canon 50 f1.4 lens to see what I can do. Used a flash and backdrop for these instead of the normal light box, mainly because the light box no longer works on the retics! Hope you enjoy, ask questions, and sorry for the future retic addicts I am trying to make :-)

And I'll leave you guys with probably my second favorite shot of the Hognose to date! Western Hognose Snake, Albino female. Born in July 2012, weighing in at 91 grams last night!

Thanks, and if you enjoy my shots, check out my videos I'm starting to work a lot more with feeding videos including giants, hognoses, and perhaps some carpets and balls in the near future. www.youtube.com/reptileexperts

Beautiful! I really want a retic some day, big snakes are awesome. :D

Kinra - do it! Get a dwarf, they stay thinner but still get large :-) I'm sure you can find a place for a 632 Vision to house an adult dwarf girl ;-)

Reptile cages make great living room decorations. :D

I plan on getting 2-3 big snakes this year (on top of that rescue burm I took in, still hopeful he'll make a recovery). :)

I'm sure he will! He did not look TOO bad off. Big snakes an an addiction!!!

I'm sure it's wishful thinking, but he's been looking less dehydrated to me. :)

I've found that all snakes are addicting, the only species I have any of and don't love are the Kenyan sand boas. It's not going to help that my sister has told me she prefers the bigger snakes to the ball pythons and she is around to help with them. :P

I have to agree - I'm not a huge Kenyan Sand Boa Phone. I love Boa's though, have only ever kept 1, but he's been with me since 2005, and was 3 weeks old when I purchased him. Thursday I have a shipment coming in though that will change my boa number :-D

I still love Smudges. He is my fav. If I got into the giants, I'd have to get me one like him. Awesome pics Cody - amazing! :bow:
