The trick is to put a tiny dark container over them, let them settle down for a few minutes. Then get all the camera settings where you want them BEFORE you slowly lift it up with the camera ALREADY lifted up in position(as to not spook the snake when doing so). Then if all goes well, you typically have a few seconds to take a good shot or two before they decide to BOLT OFF!..LOL!

This has always worked real well for me.
