Updated Extreme Cyclone Pics, new setup

I made a new picture taking "shadow box", seems to work pretty well.
Figured I would use this girl....
She always seems to take good pictures.

Question -- Looks like your camera is in the dark/less light.
If shot in auto mode, does the flash activate/come on?
Did you shoot those in Auto mode?
Put another way, are those photos flash photography?

manually.
For the pictures of the snake the flash is turned off.
For the pictures of the box I had it in auto.

Here are a couple more pictures.
These are 2 of the male Hypo Cyclones (pos. Super) I produced this year, one from each litter (making them half siblings).
I am amazed at how white the one is turning out!

WOW Bob that's an interesting development turning white like that.
I know you have been posting pics of these Cyclones from time to time.
This is the first I've noticed this one turning white.
Looks nice, both of them look great ! First one really is oustanding though !
