Light Box Fabric?
Been reading on line about DIY photo light boxes, I'll like to know what is a good fabric to use? I'am still reading up so I don't have too much knowledge about it.

A lot of people use white muslin. Its kind of like a bed sheet type material. Hope this helps.

I use muslin to diffuse the lighting.
But I photograph my snakes on a white poster board to keep the surface smooth and clean.
Example.
Not my photo, but my set up looks exactly the same

Muslin? Have to look that up hopefully I can put some up at the local craft store.

On some sites they use were white foam boards.

Re: Light Box Fabric?
If you have a Joann fabrics, they carry muslin.
If nothing ever changed, there would be no butterflies.

No, I have a hobby lobby and a Michael's at my local mall.
Where can I also pick up some plain poster boards?

Michael's will carry poster board, I don't know if it will have muslin. (My local Michael's doesn't have a fabric section and my Jo-Ann's has a huge one. No Hobby Lobby here.)
One quick suggestion: Jo-Ann and Michael's accept each others coupons. Check both their websites before you go and print out whatever you find.

You can also get the poster board at your local Dollar Tree if you have them. Or Target.

Get daylight bulbs. Use at least 3 or more, otherwise the photo lighting isn't that even.
