You looking for something natural? or something to show just the snake?

I have been playing alot with snakes on foam/project board (bought at walmart for about 2$ a sheet.. ) The yellow really brings the colors of a lot of reptiles out.. get a sheet and try it.

You can see some of mine on in my galleries.. link below. Check out the gallery named KE Serpants.. With only a few hints of carpet peaking in, every shot in that gallery is on this type of background (white, black and/or yellow) They would be much better if I had had better lighting.. but you will certainly get the idea.
