I have been playing around and framing some of my favorite photos.
Just thought I would let you check them out.
I plan to frame them all like Odin, Rosie and The Bairdis are framed. The others are just temporary.
Tell me what you think.
Yellow Rat Snake, Smeagol:

Female Bairdi, Rosie:

Bairdis Sam and Rosie intertwined:

and a couple of off topic pics
Normal, Athena:

Anery, Odin:

Cream/Reverse Okeetee Hatchling:shows a little reder then it actually is

The photos are great. The ones that are matted in the Black frames look WONDERFUL. But I'm just not a fan of wooden frames, so thats part of it!!

Did you take the photos yourself?

Thanks
I am using a Nikon CoolPix 3100.
Only 3.2 mega pixels but it seems to do a pretty good job.
I use standard light bulbs, well almost standard, I use the "Reveal" light bulbs, I think from GE. I just know that the
Reveal bulbs give a much more natural light.

Go for it Keith.
It sure wasn't my idea.
I have seen several instances where people have shown framed photos of their snakes.
It really is gratifying when you have them come out as good as Odin's, Rosie's and The Bairdis pics.

>>I would just like to thank everyone for the great responses.
It is nice to know my wife and I aren't the only ones who feel they turned out decently.
Wasn't sure if it was just our biased opinions...lol
thanks again
