[lillyorchid]

Who here has them and where did you get them from?

Check out eBay... search for light "tents"... many good ones available.

what is a light box/tent?

[xdeus]

Check out eBay... search for light "tents"... many good ones available.

I'm looking at them as well, but I have a question about the size. Would you recommend the 20" or 30"? Is a big one too big for small snakes or vice versa?

[lillyorchid]

Lawrence, you and I have the same question. Hopefully someone here will be able to help us out....

[ddbjdealer]

I don't currently own one, so hopefully Adam can chime in here on his.... I've shopped for them on eBay.. but never pulled the trigger.

[lillyorchid]

OK Adam.... where are you???

I moved this thread into the "Pictures" forum....maybe it'll be more likely to get the attention of our more experienced photographers. Sorry I don't have any information to add myself.

A light box/tent is used to diffuse light in photography, as not to get harsh shadows in a picture.

I think that a larger (20x30) box is probably the right size. It wouldnt be too small for a big snake and a small snake wouldnt get lost in it. The light is diffused, and any extra light would just be reflected by the other side.

you'll have to look at photographic sites like


abe's of maine, adorama, ritz,etc.

search "photographic equipment"
