Thanks guys! I know how to take pics, it's mostly how to get the nice solid background and lighting done I'm curious about. I'm a very visual person, so pics help a lot!

And lol, littleindiangirl, I was confused by the term lightbox at first as we do have one... for inking artwork! So I'm thinking "Wait, how does the light box fit into all that? I don't think our light box is big enough for the snakes!" lol! Now I see what you mean, thank you!
