Thanks everyone! The camera I use is a Casio Exilim (Not sure of the exact model, but it is a 6 megapixel variety that is a year or two old). I wouldn't recommend it because it doesn't have a macro mode, and it is sometimes hit or miss on whether or not it will focus properly that close up. It does have 'type' settings, and the one I use to take pictures of the snakes is the one labeled 'flower', which I suppose is close to macro.
