The gray shading works well with his color. What a neat pic!

thanks again everyone, I am digging this background too...and as for getting him to stay still... when I find that out, I will let you know ;) LOL a fast shutter speed is my friend LOL and the years Ive spent doing aquatic photography also help LOL truth be told, taking pics of snakes seems so easy to me, especially compared to fast moving fish, through water and 1/2" of glass ;)

oh wow, that's gorgeous!

Instead of using a black background to contrast with the white scales, why not try a purple hue to contrast with the yellow scales?

You may also want to try sunny day outdoor shots or flourescent lighting to get rid of the grain on the photo.
