I figured I'd snap a few pictures, but none of the corns were willing to "sit" still. I went mad :crazy02: trying then gave up to have a beer or two. :cheers:

I need to get a better camera and some more patience before trying to take pics of a 100+ snakes... :p

That is Amarissa, she was bought as a 2003 bloodred motley het lavender from a guy in Nashua NH. Of course I will need to prove it out, but he did have several 2005 hatchling that appeared bloodred motley (they had the typical gray head, white belly and diffused side pattern)

Amarissa's motley pattern is almost gone. Each shed she gets redder and the pattern fades further. Hopefully the motley pattern remains at least patially visiable.

I've seen hundreds of "said to be Bloodred Motley/Stripe" pictures ;-)
But no matter what the gens are, nice animal you got there!

For the photos of adults:
Try sitting them under a hide where you want to take photos and let them calm down. After half a minute, lift the hide and click, click, click, click...
 
My favorite trick is to stuff them under a hide in the area I'm taking photos in, and remove the hide just before taking the picture. With a little timing, it's possible to get a decent shot or two before the snake zooms off.

Speaking of...I have to photograph my last 3 2005's that are still for sale this evening as I want to place an ad and the latest (good) photo of them is at least 2 months old. I can always take feeding shots I'spose.

Of course you can take photos while feeding - but to be honest - it's not very attractive seing a snake swallowing something mice looking, isn't it?
I think they sell better with a nice shot on natural or completely neutral ground.

Btw. I also had good success with hiding them under my warm hand - works especially with the hatchlings.
 
Seriously...

I find that whipping out my recorder and *authentic* turban and piping out "Greensleeves" works best, I'd advise you all to try it and include it in the pictures. :grin01: The hide thing probably works too...I GUESS... :crazy02:
 
Well I did a 'post feeding drowsies' shot, taken after 3 minutes unted a cup which seemed to do the trick! So I got a nice photo of a snake with a full belly but no mouse to be seen! The background is just a papertowel, nothing to distract from the snake and I took it on macro setting...nice result I think!

Check it out!

Do you recommend to include myself and the recorder or only the turban? I aroused my girlfriend and she was a little :twoguns: with me - but I said that I can't bring all that stuff on the photo without help.
