Wouldn't mind but I don't have a black background to use. Funny thing is that most of the snakes I keep are kingsnakes. King snake folks seem to use rock/leaves/grass, etc. as the standard background instead of the standard white or black that ball python guys use. All I got is rock slabs to snap pictures on...ha ha. I have been looking for a really dark slab of rock though...maybe a rough black granite would be good.
