Thanks Aes -- all of that is great except that the major problem is that my camera is OLD, and seems to be slowly breaking, and these were the only pictures that came out that weren't 100% yellow! Even as it was, they still came out with quite a bit too much yellow balance, but most of the pictures look like I took them into Photoshop and just cranked all of the yellow levels to the max -- right out of the camera. (I tried fixing them but then they just looked too 'Shopped ...)

Step one to taking better pics will be to get a new camera ..... (It is also only a 4 MP, so if I try to enlarge the pictures they get very grainy.)

These actually were without any flash. What I'm planning to do next shoot (ideally, with a non-broken camera) is to set up a light tent w/ some sort of diffuser.

I was using the blue thing (it's a Snuggie ) to try and bring out the yellow of the snakes, but you're right, it does come out a bit too distracting.

Thanks for the comments though!! And the albino is a het Joliff axanthic, so he is out of a banded Joliff line. I looked for a looooong time to find an albino male that I liked as much as that one ...
