Weekend photoshoot - DUW!

I have waaaaay too many pictures, so I'll post my favorites here, and post the rest on my facebook page (http://www.facebook.com/HooblahReptiles). Don't worry, I have a ton of favorites!

On Saturday, I used a white melamine board as a base to get a cleaner look. I still want to use a clean black background, a mirror base, and maybe some props pics if I can find the right props! I liked the aviator sunglasses pics a lot :cool:!

I really like Kaorte's photos not just because of her awesome snakes, but because of the colorful and lively settings she places her snakes in :P. So today, I decided to shoot on my glass-top Celtic table in my front yard to bring more life to the pictures. I like both, but the colorful sunny pictures seem to be my favorite this weekend! Think about it while you're checking out the pictures and let me know what you think :gallery:.

First up.... Calico. I love love love her dark blacks, neon oranges/yellows, and subtle white freckles! So chocolatey...

Here's my Killerbee (Super Pastel Spider). I definitely prefer the colorful background as the white background made her look darker than she really is :confuzd:

Here is the Fire Enchi! I understand that dots aren't very attractive to many people, but I think the dots on fires are pretty, and when combined with enchi, they're kinda orangey which to me is a trademark of fires :P!

And here I am waiting for her to chill out so she will stand still... It didn't work, but it was nice just sitting outside chillin with my snake :D.

Last but not least... The Stingerbee (Enchi Spider)... Man he is so awesome to photograph. He's normally calm for about 15 minutes, then he gets curious and doesn't stop moving!

I am having an Enchi overload! So many awesome examples being posted lately!!

Your Fire Enchi is really cool looking, but I love your Enchi girl :gj:

That stinger is sooo gorgeous! Love, love, love those white sides! Great looking snakes, and great pictures. I think the first pic is adorable.

Nice looking group! I really like the Enchi Fire and the Enchi.

I love the killerbee. I don't have any snakes but they are pretty cool.

Oh man! I love your enchis! So nice! Probably the nicest stingerbee I have ever seen!

Very nice

Always love your updates. Awesome collection.

I love that stinger bee. I think I am going to cycle my Enchi with my spider tonight.

Excellent stuff my friend! My favorite picture is the sunned eye with the tongue flick!

Great stuff sir!

Those are some gorgeous pictures! And gorgeous snakes of course!

I get so jealous every time you post your amazing snakes. So unfair!

Amazing shots! I love the ones on the table top. The texture and design just makes it look super cool. And you've got some gorgeous snakes BTW!

Good stuff. Need to get that table into a light box to control the reflections and you will have a great prop to shoot on.

I spent $12 on lottery tickets in a crap attempt at winning enough money to out-cool your collection. Damn you and all your stunning animals Travis!!!
