to take pics of him. I am going to have to try to take some better pics of him in the future. But this one is pretty good, just cannot see all the pink in him. I have never seen a boa this pink in person. He was one of the normals born with my hypos.

Thanks

Were her parents both het for photoshop? Just kidding. No offense meant.

Beautiful creature.

This shot was taken with a little cheapy Fuji A-330 on Macro setting. Make sure the flash is on and you are about 2' away so it doesn't come out fuzzy.

What kind of camera are you using?

Don't use the flash, flash washes out pink, get some pics that aren't in direct sunlight, and of course use the macro setting. Snap about 20 shots theres bound to be a few good ones in there.

This shot was taken in the shade as I do not typically take my albino (or sunglow in this example) boas in the direct sunlight.

Hypo Triple Het in direct sunlight:

99 Normal Female side closeup, direct sunlight:

Time of day plays a key role in the angle of the sunlight. Shoot in morning or late afternoon for a good bit of slant which makes for less shadowing. You can see in the triple het picture above, it was taken at mid-day and the sun was pointing straight down. Because of that I had to take shots directly over him... angled shots would create too much shadow.

Hope this helps.
