John,

I have the same problem with the lighting. I always get the yellow colours overexposed. But I also find my male difficult to photograph because it will not sit still. Looking at the picture you posted, it looks like your male will become red as an adult. I believe that you told me once that you're colourblind; I'm curious what you would see instead of a red snake? Have you also noticed any differences in behaviour between the different localities of mandarin ratsnakes? The Vietnamese specimens seem to be more defensive than the Chinese specimens.

OK, I will contact that friend of mine to ask when he will come over to photograph my male.

Regards,

Bert
