Figment will not hold still either! So hard to get a good picture of a corn!
He looks awesome!

Just use the old photographer's trick ...
You pick the background spot on the table -ideally dark or black card / plastic / glass .... or whatever ..
Have a suitably sized box / food mixing bowl ready and place it over the top of your snake ... you can put the bowl / box down and carefully feed the snake underneath .You or someone may have to hold the cover down ...
Leave it be for 5 minutes maybe less but don't take your eyes off the snake / bowl .
Have your camera all set up - ideally on a tripod ..
Take the cover off and the snake will usually be curled up nicely ( especially if you use a bowl ) . They generally stay still for a minute or so for some peculiar reason ...

All good points!
I have been doing macro photography. Good luck with that! Such a small focal range. I can get pictures of Figment close up, with the basic lens (18-55mm) and a good shutter speed. However, macro, no way. I need help. Katie is going to have to try to keep him still!
Frank kept still and Behira kept still. Great macro shots! Figment; not so much. The geckos want to roam too. As soon as I get it focused, they move, every time! I imagine Shayna would do okay as well, but she just started eating again, so I am basically leaving her alone, until she has a few more meals in her.
Anyway, thanks Zincubus!

It's worth a try with lizards as well ...
They seem to go into 'paws' mode
Sorry couldn't resist it

Re: Corny, my adopted corn snake
@ 343g!
he's still eating 1 L mouse/week. it leaves a noticeable lump but he's cruising by day 5 or 6. he might just be a glutton.

He'd look simply stunning in a viv !!
Next time you're in a tropical fish store keep checking all the fish out from above THEN see what they really look like through the glass
