Light tent teaser...

So I just got most of the stuff for a light tent today. Fabric, and pvc tubes. Still need to get a proper brooder lamp. Lol, was going to steal it from my chicks that are growing up. But decided I need to just go buy a new one. So these pics are just a few messing around without proper light, (took hubbys led flashlight). Or fine tuning of camera, but I am so excited to get proper lighting and take some great pictures!!! Mike, I may not be able to properly make you jealous of my boa, because HE WON'T SIT STILL!!!!! WAY TO EXCITED about this light tent and picture potential!! Thanks for looking!

Are you making your own light tent & if so, do you have instructions for how you're planning to build it? I'd like to make one myself if you have that info handy & don't mind sharing. Nice looking snakes, by the way.

I get all crazy and twitchy when I see your bumblebee.... Just kiddin but seriously that is the NICEST bee I have seen EVER! And the light tent teaser definitely helps bring out its color! How big is it now?

Thank you! Look in bp pictures, stickie threads. There is one for a light tent that is super easy and cost effective!! Looks to be good so far too! Just need to get right light still. :D

Nice snakes! And good job on the pictures.

So question about bulbs. What do you guys with tents use? What seems to be best? I was kind of confused by what was listed on the thread where I found to make the tent. It said 100w, but also said uv. Is this a regulation house bulb? Or a UV reptile bulb?

Sooooo Mikey gets first dibs on any extra stinger bees, right? I need to add enchi and spider to my collection. Why not do both at the same time? :D

Cant wait for the real light tent thread! Where you get pics of EVERYONE. :)

Your bee is amazing and I like you little boa. :)

On my small small light tent I am using 26W Cameron Spiral Fluorescent Lamps. You can use any High Output or Bright White Fluorescent bulb for your photographs. The Bright Whites tend to work better because their light will stay strong and white even when diffused through your light box. Day Lights and Soft White will not work as well. No need to get UV/UVB/UVA or reptile lights for photographic use.

Here is what our small tent looks like with 2x 26W Fluorescents.

Thanks guys! Last thing I need to do is go get the lighting. I can't wait to mess around and take some pics. :)

Ehhh im coming around.
I really like spinners and honeybees. And kinda want a killerbee now too. And a stingerbee after seeing the ones Freakie Frog (i think) produced... :D

Soooo yea, imma be adding some spider stuff after this year haha.

Tbh the only reason i didnt like them was bc i thought they browned out too much in combos. But Jinx made the point that the browning out, like in bumblebees for example, is usually the pastel gene's fault. I hadnt really thought about it like that before so now i want some. Since your bee is so hot i would imagine any stinger bees you produce would be hot too :gj:

:D:D:D:D:D. Especially with the smokin hot Enchi I'm getting! Gah, I just can't wait to have eggs and little pippers of my own.
Trouble is I may want to keep them all! Except for one, with your name on it of course, ;) Gotta wait another year though.
