I was just changing Ophion's water this morning and suddenly noticed she was out in her RUB on top of a branch! I am so chuffed because this is only the third time (in two months) I have seen her out of her hide, and the FIRST time I have seen her chilling out in the open! Made me really happy because I guess it shows she feels relaxed in her environment.
Also she was doing that great thing snakes do where they're all folded up on themselves. Had to take a pic:
I thought while I was at it I'd take a pic of Bob as well, as his new favourite spot is rather odd. It's not amazingly helpful for when I need to get in (such as to change the water as I did this morning), as there's a chance he can fall off into his water bowl (like he did this morning...) But he seems to love squashing himself up there even when he's fat with pinky!
This is his other favourite spot which just confuses me. So far he seems to enjoy sitting as far away from his heat mat as possible (it's normally around 27 degrees), and as cramped as possible lol.
Pics were taken with my phone camera that has a flash, and you can see the intense colour change Bob can show depending on the photo! No wonder I'm never able to get a decent picture of his colours lol. |

Yeah, there's not a hint of any red in either of those pics is there. He definitely got more purple last shed, and his pink is going peach which shows up well in that first pic. He looks almost caramel there!
Next I'm gonna try my other half's iPhone outside and we'll see what he looks like. Would like some good tips on how to get a decent photo of my snakes though, for progression purposes. I like the ones where they're on a plain white background. How do people set up those photos? Do you use a flash indoors? What background do you use? |

My progression pics are done in a 3L plastic tub with a piece of A4 paper underneath, with a ruler in the tub.
I use a flash if needed, but I prefer doing them in natural light to properly capture the colours.
Like this...
