Assorted Kings with the new photo setup
Finally got my photography setup the way that I like it. Just thought I would share some of my kings. Photo setup consists of a piece of $3 sandstone from home depot under natural light on a table outside in the sun.

Gorgeous kings and great photos Daniel. What camera are you shooting with and how do you get them to stay so still for pictures? ;)

The camera I used for these is a Canon Rebel 3Ti. The pictures I take with my phone are just about as good. The key is getting good lighting in both cases. The pictures were taken on a bright, overcast day outside...kinda gives everything that lightbox look.
....and getting them to sit still. Put a hide down on the surface you are going to take the picture on, let the snake go inside and settle down for around 15-30 seconds....then pull the hide off and take a few pictures before it decides to bolt...ha ha.

I have a trio of Greybands and haven't had any issues with them eating over the last year. They readily eat ft or live mice. If you are concerned, I think you would do good to buy an older animal (6 months to yearling) that has been started off good by a reputable breeder. Don't buy someone else's problem or a 1-2 month old hatchling that hasn't been firmly established yet.
