No- that guy _let_ the hoggy chew on him to see what would happen. Now we all know! Thanks for taking one for the team! We have learned, if a hoggy bites you (which feels like a piece of velcro hooking on- you can barely tell!) do not let it chew- remove it from your hand right away!

I have a tri-color that sometimes bites because he hopes he is going to get fed and gets excited. I was all freaked out after seeing that bite webpage for a while, but I got over it. I just don't let him chew- just take him off the second he bites. I think he was triggered by the smell of soap, and stopped using soap around him- I just use gel hand cleaner. They are smarter than you'd think- he thought if I washed my hands, he was going to get fed.

There was a guy on here that said he got his perfect coiled shots by refrigerating a bowl, then putting the snake in a chilled bowl. He's the one that had the beautiful white backgrounds with just snake and background.

I set my camera to take continuous shots- then, out of ten or more in one position- maybe one or more will be good!

Also, I think the more megapixels, the better. Yes, you may not be printing and don't need the resolution for that, but you can _really_ crop then, and not lose quality.

And cameras are starting to come out with anti-shake technology- that has really helped me, I think.

My Casio Exilim is 10 mp, and is $400 MSRP but you can find it for $300. Worth every penny.

And just keep practising, and take a _ton_ of pictures! I'll take 100-200 now at a time. (Just did a photoshoot with a Cat and a Harley and shot 900- and got some exceptional shots. It's not like you're wasting film...)

Resize the image on your computer so it's 800 pixels wide or smaller.

Click reply.

Scroll down, under Additional Options there is a section called Manage Attachments. That lets you browse on your computer for the image you want to attach. You choose it, then click upload, then close that browsing image window, and post!

I think what it is is practice. Work with you snakes every day and you should be able to come up with good photos. Eventually you will get it right, and they do say practice makes perfect.
we are still working with our animals and here is some pictures.

you can do it in any photo editing program. (ie-paint, fireworks, photoshop)

or you could use photobucket which automatically resizes them and adds the IMG tags for you
 
Does your camera have autofocus? It's hard to take good pics through glass. But still- I think you'd have been ok if you could have gotten it focused.

It looks like an OK picture, but it was through glass, and It was on a crappy camera

as long as you have it focused on the snake, and dont shake around alot, the pictures should be good
