I have been working on my photography, and having awesome babys like this to take pics of sure helps. How am I doing???

This girl hasn't even shed yet!!!

I love the contrast on this one!!!

Nice snakes, but i think the pics would look better with more lighting. You could always send them to me, and ill take pics for you....

Thanks alot man and sorry about your female slugging out Better days will come soon!!! Vinnie

The Snakes - beautiful, The photos...not so much! (Just busting your chops)

Try putting the snake near a window or outside. If the sun is shining directly on the snake, use a WHITE sheet between the sun and snake as a difuser, or better yet outside on a day where there are thin clouds. That should make for nice bright, true to life colors without washing out the highlights or muddying the shadows like you get with indoors/flash.

Good luck, and keep them pics coming!

I will try that outside with paper trick this weekend. I always see everyone getting great outdoor shots and mine always seem to get really washed out, maybe that will do the trick. Thanks Vinnie

Try to get the pics either around 1 hour past sunrise or before sunset. The light is less harsh and casts less of a shadow, but it comes from a lower angle, so you might could use a piece of white cardboard to reflect some light on the shadowed side.

Now go out there and make me proud!!!

I am having such a hard time getting it right. Hopefully this weekend I can get some practice with outside shots. It has just gotten warm enough here to attempt them. I have been able to improve on the clarity and detail of the shots but still need alot of work that I know. Thanks for the compliments on the snakes I really think they are special and hopefully I can prove them genetic. Vinnie

As of now I am calling them Paradox Sunglows. They came from an albino bred to a Super Salmon Het Albino. There were four of them in the litter.

But to me and I mean to me they look like dirty sunglows.
Again what in the world do I know!!
They look awesome, what ever they are.
Great looking and would keep them all. If U R not please write me.
Good luck with them.

Basically thats what they are, Sunglows with black markings on them. As you know a Sunglow should not have any black on them. Hopefully they will prove genetic and I can be the first to produce a Paradox Snow or Paradox Moonglow. I think they would look insane. Imagine a pure white boa with black markings scattered throughout. I would really love to see a Paradox Sunglow Super Motley.
