Saga's Yearling Photoshoot -- Pic heavy!

Desperate to Edit
Saga shed last Wednesday and has finished her meal, so now we get the official yearling photos! This was also my second-ever attempt at photographing her with my awesome new Nikon, so they're not perfect... but meh. XD Commentary on the photography is as welcome as comments on my little scalebaby. ^_^ Also Saga's first visit to the great outdoors!

Saga is a normal sibling from Heather and Tara's Alabama x Tessera project. She has an aberrant pattern that looks a little q-tip-ish, and her colors don't seem all that close to the usual "classic" to me. I'm tentatively calling her an Alabama like her mother. ^_^ These photos are in natural light (except the last one) outside today, with a wooden stein for her to slither around on. Her colors are VERY true in these photos!


I love how many tongue flicks I managed to get with this camera!

These two really show off her pattern.

Saga loved these flowers! She kept trying to stick her head in the them or hide in them.

This was my favorite shot. Saga retreated into the stein for a while, and when I stuck the camera in after her, she just looked up at me like, "What?" I love the great focus in this pic, and the way the flash brings out her colors. And the reflections! ^_^

GREAT photos! The wood colors work very well with the snake's colors. (And I agree that that last photo is really awesome.)

The flower pictures are very cute, too. They really show some of your snake's personality. :)
 
She's turning out really nice! Thanks for the updated pics!
I'm glad she's retaining the nice Alabama borders!
I need to get some updated pics of her siblings soon.
 
Thanks everyone! She really is a wonderful little snakey; I'm glad everyone likes her. :)

I know, right? <3 I'm going to keep using that stein until she outgrows it. XD

And I agree, the flowers really did bring out her personality. XD She's the kind of snake that hides a lot, but is too curious to stay hidden and she's always poking her head out to see what's going on--as long as she thinks you can't see her. XD Outside her viv, she never seems to sit still. lol XD

Sorry I wasn't able to get any earlier photos. XD Took a while to figure out this DSLR camera. Losing the transferring software didn't help. XDD

I do love those nice thick borders! They almost make her saddles look like little red pools. XD
