I've either got to get a faster camera or slower snakes.

Well at least my headless snakes are slow enough to be able to get their pattern on film! It appears that you snake is so fast that it just left a blurr of patternlessness behind LOL

It seems I get about 90% of myshots are like that. How do you make them sit still? Andy

I know it sounds a bit mean but lightly smack them on the snout and you will see what wonders that does to make them sit still and in a perfect striking position. Remember.....lightly.

What I do is put the boa on the ground then put a tub over it so it is dark so the boa will calm down then remove the tub and snap some pictures. It works for a few seconds then there off. I think your bigest problem is that your boa is SCREAMING so loud that you cant think fast enough to focus your camera. The best way to solve that problem is to send that boa to me! That boa is awsome! Try the tub it works ok. Later
