Nice pictures, John. A little green sure adds a lot of life to a picture.

It's "I didn't see ANY cannons" not I didn't see "no" cannons...double negative...J/K....lol

Not a new camera, but the greenery in the shots seems make the camera focus a little better...My camera is still way smarter than I am.......LOL

Thanks for the compliment Jorge....

You may have something there John. I read that gray backgronds help to bring out the pink colors in some some Corn snakes that are hard to replicate the pink colors.

Grays are good for yellow too.....that's why Chevrolet painted 55 Chevy Belairs pink and gay or yellow and gray........

Very nice shots, John. Thanks for sharing.

I know how much patience is required to get the snake to "pose" and to get the lighting and focus correct. Thank goodness for digital cameras, or we'd be wasting lots of film!

Very nice orange MSP!

Can you post a pic that shows the complete thayeri?

I believe that is an intermediate and not a full blown MSP......but yes....it is very nice!

Here she is -- John is correct, she's more an intermediate than an msp. In any case, she's now one of my best breeders . . .

Not bad at all for a Canon camera. That is what I have, and it is more the skill of the operator than the type of the camera that matters most, in my opinion.

I agree with that--when my pictures turn out well.

Very nice pics John!
The split-banded leonis is a killer!

What cannon cam you have?
Tanja uses a cannon EOS 450D with tamron 18-270 or tamron 60 f/2 macro for the pics...
