I know the photo quality stinks, stanks, and stunks, however how else do you take a photo without turning on the light and breaking up these lovers. Seems like I am gonna need a crap load of deli cups in a few months again.

Deli cups, day-old pinks, scissors (NOT the ones that your wife cuts coupons with...they always look at you funny when their coupon scissors have blood on them, geez), some fresh plastic plants, mini waterbowls, micro lights...you have a new shopping list in the works, hopefully. Hope she takes. Nothing like being a poppa Good luck.

I aint no photographer, but a remote flash allows the light to hit the glass at an angle and not reflect back into the lens.

I wonder what was going through the snakes minds when you started taking pics and had the flash goin.

Yea, I have to get me a remote flash one day.

Well it's too late for that advice. I used the exact scissors she cuts coupons with to section pinkie parts with for my last litter of 14 in which 4 greens/pinks turned out striped and I am anxious waiting to see if any of the other babies will mature to having this speckled stripe pattern which is quite unique. She did go to the trouble of buying another blender after I used the one we have to blender up frogs and lizards for scenting. She deserves a medal.

This is the poppa from last years babies. This exact fellow has a full page photo in Dick Bartlett's new Viper book and the photo in the book is of course much better. He looks skinny and is wild caught, but its the best breeder snake I ever heard about. I mean this guy will try to mate with a corn snake if I let it. lol.
