Thoughts on classified ad images...

You can always post pictures on both backgrounds. Most places don't limit your number of pictures to 1.

I tend to use white background on my adds, especially for animals over a hundred dollars or so. But extra requested pics are almost always on aspen, cypress, or in hand. It's more important that the picture is of adequate size, shows what people are most interested in seeing, clear and in focus, and represents the animal accurately.

When I say 'shows what people are most interested in seeing', I mean that depending on morph/species different areas are usually more important to see. When photographing a YB, I like to get the snake to ball up, then flip it over and get the picture with a good bit of the belly showing so you can clearly see the edges of the belly. When photoing a bee I want to get a good side/dorsal shot so the pattern and color are easily visible.
