I was out late last night at a Haunted Woods event and I was exhausted today.
As I was laying in bed staring at a broken deer skull in the corner: I started thinking it might look cool to
do a group shot by putting ball pythons on the antlers.
It seemed like an easy photo, but, not quite. https://ball-pythons.net/forums/cach...ked_r3ci6t.jpg
My original plan was to have 11 ball pythons in this photo including:
2 large Black Pastel females (one behind/below each antler), and a GHI/Fire behind the skull curled up holding the blue brazilian agate in her coils.
Balancing issues aside:
-the two Black Pastel females decided to leave (due to their size-I had trouble positioning them both simultaneously)
-The GHI/Fire refused to coil around the agate before she decided she had enough and became defensive
-The Piebald top right kept striking at me hungrily and falling off the antlers onto the Firefly below
-The Firefly lower right was really-really angry (the piebald falling on her did not help)
-The Firefly Clown (center) also kept falling backwards off the skull and would lay upside down and stare at me in confusion
The photo came out OK though, symmetry is a little off, but, I am pleased with it. :)

I love it! Even without all 11 snakes- :D Getting this many snakes to remain in position, well, you did great!
Every photo should take first place! The lavender albino is extra special!

Thanks! After 8 years of heavy use I think I need a new camera.
I had a bunch of Snakes and Stones photos that came out pretty hazy/blurry. I tried to troubleshoot with no success.
Luckily Black Friday/Cyber Monday is coming up! I will see if I can upgrade to a Olympus TG-6 (from TG-5).
As I mentioned previously I was having some trouble with my camera (pixels dropped, blurring etc).
I bought a new camera on Cyber Monday (Olympus TG-6).
Took me a while to receive it-so unfortunately I had to sell some ball pythons before I got a chance to photograph them.
Ahhh well, I still have my holdbacks...
Tough material to tumble because it was heavily fractured when I received it (due to the mining process).
Does make a nice photo-if one does not look too closely. ;)
