so i figured i would share my on topic fresh shed, i am still working o a good lighting set up. after a quick review i thing she looks good on a black background. so for next time my idea is to put her on a black shirt (not shiny) and use a fluorescent light with out flash, i think doing it like that will give good pics.... but here is what i have so al least try and enjoy

0.1 soon to be wifey (hopefully)
1.0 rotwiler/chow (Boomer-wifey's pooch)
1.0 norm corn (Jake aka grumpy old terdhead)
1.0 col redtail boa (Switch, formally known as Dixie)
0.1 ball python (Bella- wifey's baby girl)
0.1 Brazilian Rainbow Boa (Saphira)

hopeful for not to distant future:
--Brazilian rainbow boas
2 or 3 more? maybe a breeding trio or two pair
-- something for the wifey... my list got to big...

Stephen, thats a very nice looking rainbow.
A recomendation on the background; I find that for me, a yard of black velvet from Walmarts fabric section makes the best solid black background. Its cheap, non reflective and folds up small for storage too.

you know now that you mention that i did have some... a year and a half ago i built a sword case for my uncle and i used the black velvet to line it, and i do have a piece left over. now the question is where? thats a good idea thinks Milo

Hey Step, She's looking good.

One thing for your pic setup, some amount of other light helps, fluorescent only (unless maybe full spectrum fluorescent???) tends to wash out colors. I like using GE reveal bulbs to help fill out the lighting and bring out more of the natural colors.
