Great pics. I am a photographer and just be careful if using "always on" lighting as it can get very hot. I'm not sure of actual temps but for example when doing food shots the heat can actually damage the food. So either use strobe lights or shoot in the shade on a sunny day.

Also, google how to make your own light tent. Saves a good few bucks and you cannot tell the difference. I've always used home made ones for product photography.

Look forward to seeing more of your photos

Thank you! What do you mean by "always on"? I have a skylight in my kitchen, and fluorescent lighting. Combined means my kitchen is very nicely lit during the day . Other then that, I didn't use any lights.

I actually found a nice DIY light tent tutorial that is cheap yet effective . My friend and I were going to construct it today but she's going to my sister's bridal shower haha.

Thanks for all the compliments ! I will pass these on to the snakes haha

By "always on" it means camera lighting that does not only come on when you take the picture (like a flash does)
With a light tent, you need your lighting to be fairly close as the light is diffused through the tent. So if you have lights very close and they are always on (i.e not strobes like a flash) then the temperatures could get pretty high. If you are using normal tungsten bulbs they don't get super hot but then you will get an orange look to your photos which can be fixed with white balance settings on your camera. But if you are using white light bulbs the temps do get pretty hot, so just something to look out for. You can always test it with a digital thermometer.

Otherwise your photos were great. No need for a light tent even. I just wanted to point out that if you do use a light tent you might want to monitor any heat inside the tent as it could climb with proper lighting. And you would need extra lights than just a skylight and overhead light.

Personally I prefer to take photos (if it is going to be animals or food like fruit, ice-cream etc) outside. You set up in the shade but on a sunny day so you have plenty of ambient light, and then with the snake in the shade you will not get any shadows which normally ruin a picture (not always)

Can't wait to see your snakes after shedding

I love the calico, great looking animal!

I like the calico and clown a lot. But I LOVE that killer bee!!! Couldn't decide if I should get a bumblebee or killer bee to use as my future breeding plans, and now I know I'm going with the killerbee. We need more pick of the killer bee.
