That is a great picture!!! I need some photo lessons.Originally Posted by daniel1983
I usually like to take pictures after a short handling session especially with the more 'wiggly' snakes. My milksnakes take a few minutes to calm down, then they are ready for pictures.
The bowl idea is great too...although I don't 'chill' mine...just set a bowl on top of the snake, setup the camera, and start taking pictures as soon as the bowl is lifted.
I have seen many other ways too. Best is to just try things out to see what works best for you and your snakes. I have some snakes of the same species that are completely different to try to take pictures off. Some go into defensive posture right away...some try to run.
Wow! What a great picture!
I have to say though....IMO ball pythons are one of the easier to photograph...great practice for other snakes
