    I don't mean to hijack the thread, so feel free to pm me or start another thread over in photography!
    So funny that you say that "protective". Yes, I very much so am of mine too. Lol, I don't like even hubby to use it. I do occasionally let my daughter use it if she is helping take pictures of the snakes. She has taken some pictures at the zoo. She has taken some pictures of her spiders. And I hover all the while reminding her not to drop it or touch the lens, lol (while slightly panicking inside :p). She does have a camera of her own to do whatever she wants with, but she likes mine better.

    As far as tips, I'm not sure. I'm not a professional or anything. Just a girl with a nice camera that loves to take pictures. Heck, I still have not taken my camera out of auto mode. But I have been an avid picture taker her whole life, so she has grown up with me stuffing a camera in her face and watching me take pictures of everything. She seems to be developing a love for it too.

    You really only shoot in auto? I feel so much better!

    My son has a camera designed for kids, which has the equivalent of roll bars on it. Takes tons of photos, but then erases and just takes more instead of saving! If I do let him use my baby, I'll probably set it up on a tripod first, so that he doesn't have to hold AND shoot it.

    OK, enough thread hijacking, thanks for the answer!

    Re: Epic's journey

    We have a fresh shed Epic! But once again, only a few crummy phone pics. I need to get a cool perching prop and get him in the light tent. We only have 2 or 3 green scales, but his maroon markings are lightening up, turning purple on their way to blue. You can see its working it's way up his body. Lighter markings on the body, whereas still maroon on his head and neck in this picture-


    And a bit in this one too-


    Crummy pic of his cute little tail (hard to take a one handed snake photo, lol)


    And his one really green scale...


    And a better one-


    He wasn't interested in getting off my daughter and back on his perch, lol. She was making a perfectly fine perch...


    That's all for now, thanks for looking!

    More green!! Will his eyes change too, or stay gold? Saw a red GTP in the egg, it's eyes were the same hue as it's body so I didn't know if they have the same rate of change.

    From what I've seen and understand, it will stay a goldish shade.
