Re: First crack at business card....
Looks good IMO.
Thoughts:
1. I like the Nuclear there, it gives the card good balance and actually has a "wow, what kind of snake is that?" feel to it. It also seems "friendly and inviting" if you get my meaning. Maybe make the Nuke a touch smaller and see if it looks right, but I think you're fine.
2. If you go with the firefly on the card, try to rotate it with the head facing down/toward you or take another pic similar to the pose the nuke is in. Also perhaps a plain black background would look good with just the lettering and the firefly. Contrast is good, but you don't want it to clash. I feel the Firefly would clash with the current background but I could be wrong.
The 3 business cards in my head that I can remember even vaguely have 1 "poppy" image on them, 2 of which had dark/grey/black backgrounds. One had a green cartoon image of a snake in the upper left in the shape of a "C" for the first letter, the second one had the gold face markings of a bp on a black background, and the third is for rogue reptiles. What pops to me about yours is the Nuke and the contrast the letters bring.

Sorry Corey - I had to pick "your design stinks!" just because I knew no one else would! I think either snake would look spectacular, but agree with a more muted background if you go with the firefly. What about using the clown as the solid back of the card? Also, love the font choice!

I think it would look better if you made the font a little bigger and left the snake picture out. just have the clown in the background and that's it.

I actually like the pose of the firefly better, but the nuclear stands out much better.
For other tweaks (although there have been plenty of good suggestions already) - if you want to keep that background, I'd lower the opacity. It's too bright and busy, and draws attention away from everything else on the card. Keep that white circle bit, that looks really good to highlight the snake photo, but move/crop the snake photo so it's a bit larger, and there's not so much dead space to the left. Negative space is good in most cases, but that spot just stands out as dead space, that could be better used if the snake photo were shifted to the left a bit and maybe enlarged a little.
Also seconding the font enlargement. This is a little piece of paper that people will be glancing at. You want the overall design to draw the eye, which it does, but you also NEED for the business name to be the most visible piece, and the easiest to read. You want anyone glancing at the card to have no issues at all reading the business name. Especially since lots of people have some degree of impaired eyesight, it needs to be big (not gigantic, taking up near to 1/4 - 1/3 of the vertical space is a good general rule, but it doesn't have to be THAT large). Especially with an unusual and broken up font (though it does look awesome), it needs to be bigger.
Sorry for the rambling, too many graphic design classes xD

I say get rid of the clown background, change it to solid black (or whatever your business color is), and keep the halo around the nuclear.
I'm in the "too busy" camp. Also, I don't mean to insult you, but the clown color/pattern looks a bit blah. The snake is gorgeous, but cropped and in that color it doesn't show off how nice the animal is.
