How to Get A Great Snake Pic?
I love breaking out my Nikon D3100 to photograph my animals but I can never get the perfect picture. I don't know how to create a solid background with enough light and space to capture the animals beauty while trying to keep them still lol any helpful tips?

Quickly take picture. Hope BP's head is pointed the right way.
It also helps sometimes to give them something to grab; they're less likely to take off immediately.
Sounds awesome!

Me too

Those are pretty cheap, seems like a pretty good set up!

If u check out my collection thread from my profile, the light box photos where all produced with my diy box.
Only change I've considered is a 3rd light coming in from the top.

The lights are on each side of the light tent.

Well .......
A good tip I was given was to get the snake in the right situation then cover it with a bowl or a hide and leave it for a minute or so ... don't walk away .. just wait .. then camera at the ready just lift the hide off slowly ....
