Re:Just a snap of one of my baby boas

Hi Steve...
Beautiful snake and beautiful picture. Does he/she have a name? I don't know why, I am into the name thing. I took a bunch of picture's and not one turned out!!!!! I was trying to snap picture's of the "white spots". Guess I will have to try again.
Anyways, is this your common Red Tail Boa? I have one that looks like this one. Jezebel. Very light grey. But the tail is a lot darker. Not very much red at all. Her colors are so much different than my other Red Tail. Hmmmmmm......

Hey BMoore,

That is one of two babies I have not named yet. I took this guy on to sell. Not sure if I am going to or not. I liked him because he is so light and has the oddest rosy cheeks. Looks like he was out in the winter and just came in..LOL

It is a normal Columbian Redtail. He was one of the two snakes that I got that were born on April fool's day. Eats rat pinks like a pig though..

Hey if you having problems with pics, scroll down to the Herp Photography forum. Give all the info you have and ask any questions you might have..

Re:Just a snap of one of my baby boas

Thanks you two,

To be honest most of these shots are just spur of the moments ones. I plan as soon as the weather gets better to take all this guys to the studio and do a real shoot with them. Already been looking for branches, etc to shoot on. I plan to blow up a few and hang them, but heven't yet.. I will share some studio ones as soon as I get them done..

Thanks again
Steve

If that is just a little impromptu shot, I can only imagine what you can do when you put your mind to it!!
That is truly an INCREDIBLE shot of a really nice boa!

Re:Just a snap of one of my baby boas

Hi Drimes,

Thanks for the kind words. Now when I plan a shoot for the coldblooded guys, I can get a better setup and better lighting, but lets be honest, its hard as heck to pose a snake and have them stay that way.. But I am working on it..LOL

This is as close to posing as I can get so far.. This one shot is on the back of a music CD. It will be in the store in a month or so.. This is only the raw pic, they added stuff to is.. btw the shot is of one of my first snakes. its a grey banded king.

Hello anthrax___420,

Not hard at all.. As long as you start with a good quality larger file, you can reduce the size of the image without changing the 72 resolution.. Hope that helps
