of my 2005 Bodner female. She just shed today.

Chris,
Very nice MSP. What kind of camera are you using? The color and detail is far better than anything I have been able to get is. I have several MSP that look similar to that but do not look as good in my pictures (colors do not get captured well, especial subtle things). Also, my camera does not focus well (at all). I have a Kodak 6480 (I think that's right), picks up red and blue but messes up everything else, focus sucks and I have an older Sony DSC 70, focus also sucks and colors are all faded but it picks up the colors better in relation to each other, it just looks like everything is in Fog. Of course, the most logical answer is I am a camera-using moron, but humor me anyway please.

Rick,

My camera is a Kodak EasyShare CX4230. Mine does not take very good flash closeups either. I take almost all of my pics outside in natural sunlight. It works excellent that way. One other thing you might want to check is if your lens is clean. I was having all kinds of problems with mine until I cleaned the lens. The best thing about my camera is that I got it free when I ordered my new Dell computer.

Thanks for the compliment Rick.

Another nice Thayeri, I think I really, really like that one.

Sounds like my camera is fine, it's me that sucks. When you take the pictures outside, are you in full sun or shade? I have tried both, full sun seems too bright and shade seams too dark. I need lessons. I'll send you my snakes and you can try to get nice pictures (lol). I am open to any sugestions.

Good idea Rick. Pack those babies up and send them to me. It may take me awhile to get good pics though. LOL BTW I charge between $75-$200 per pic. Just let me know how much your selling the snakes for and I'll let you know what my fee is...........he he he

Oh I forgot to answer your question.

I like full sun or at least partial sun. Early morning or evening are best though.

Well Chris.......
I would get some nice pics out of the deal but, I'm afraid I would end up owing you $ at the end of the day. I would have nothing left to pay the frozen mice bill (my wife has finally learned NOT to ask what is in the box in the freezer). Let me think about it (lol). Maybe I should actually read the directions to my camera . . . naaah; I'll just keep trying to get a good pic. I'm going to try the full sun thing again and see what I get. Thanks.

Great shot Chris. Your yellow female I got from you is doing great and eating like a pig. mike

Chris' Colubrids

Nice to see you back Mike....I hope all is well up there.

And....I never get tired of that pic.

I would love to see all the hatchlings you guys produced this year.

All three of these that I got from you are eating like crazy too. If you get a chance send me some pics of that yellow female. I'm with John too, I love that yellow male of yours.

Hi Chris

I LIKE! Good job picking these guys up from the Bodners. Those MSP's just bleed with color. But dude! $75-200 for pics? Man! I'll just buy me a snake bro! hehe. Btw, here's another keeper from this year.
