Just a couple of questions, have only had little Ruby a few days now and only took the one picture but obviously want to take more and was just wondering if the flash (that makes the pics much clearer) would do any damage to her eyes?
Also as she's based in the bedroom I sometimes use deodorant/anti-perspirant in the room and was thinking would it be best to do put it in on elsewhere just in case it might affect her in some way? |

| The flash from the camera should be fine and my snakes are also in my bedroom so I put deodorant/spray on in the hallway |

I use flash with Apollo because he doesn't react to it or seem to care but Titan obviously doesn't like it so I try to take pictures without it for him 
I also have mine in the bedroom and I don't put deodorant on in there, but that is more to do with the fish tank than the snakes so I am not really sure if it would bother them. |

Even roll on is chemical laden.. as an example (first one I found)
Secret Platinum Antiperspirant & Deodorant
Active Ingredients: Aluminum Zirconium Tetrachlorohydrex Gly (19%) (Anhydrous) (Antiperspirant)
Inactive Ingredients: CyclopentaSiloxane, Dimethicone, Tribehenin, C18-36 Acid Triglyceride, Fragrance
ALUMINUM ZIRCONIUM TETRACHLOROHYDREX GLYCINE COMPLEX: =>Developmental/reproductive toxicity, Neurotoxicity
CYCLOPENTASILOXANE: => Cancer, Neurotoxicity, Endocrine disruption, Persistence and bioaccumulation
So the main ingredient is a brain poison and messes with your ability to have kids. The biggest part of the rest of the thing has been linked to bladder tumours (cancer).
Yeah sign me up for that...

| Flash shouldn't be a problem, but get as much natural light as possible for a much clearer picture :-) |

| Please do not use directly. Just because your snake doesn't react to it, doesn't mean it's not effected by it. At least, put some thin paper over the flash. Besides, most flashes make pictures look ugly and flat in colour. As for sprays, do it in another room if you can or if its a big room, as far away as possible. |
  
A very special super, duper thanks for K :3 |
