Photography Techniques and EquipmentThis forum is for the discussion of technical details of how to take good pictures as well as discuss the equipment used in that pursuit.
18 percent neutral gray background is your friend.
You can also use colored backgrounds that resolve to 18 percent gray when converted to grayscale. But know how the color of the background will affect the rendition of the coloring of your subject.
These 2 taken some with flash some without, and saved at original unaltered size. None of these pictures have been edited. Though a lot were deleted.

I'm not very camera savvy--but what about photographing snakes against colors that are complimentary to their scales (ie putting a red snake on a green background, an orange snake on a blue background)? Would that make their colors look more vibrant, or would it dull them down? If you guys think it would help make colors stand out, then I'm snapping some pictures of my little butter motley against a purple backdrop whenever I can.

Ah, the infamous 'blue bowl' effect! Put a red or orange snake on a blue background or in a blue bowl and you'll love the contrast! I seem to have preferred using green to showcase my Love okeetee's colours

I have never heard of this. I'm going to have to try it with my Amel!
I guess it depends what lighting you have, if you have a studio set up with studio lighting a light snake on (pure) white can look great too, if you just know how to put your lights Sadly I don't have any light snakes myself lol.
