Introducing Shogun, our new BRB

[bcr226]

This is the most stunning BRB I've ever seen. I don't know where he stands on the scale of desirability but he's the most photogenic snake I've ever taken pics of. He's LOOOOOONG too. I'll measure him once he settles in to his new home. I LOVE how he glows!

Are these pics edited?

Are these pics edited?

Yes, only by cropping and decreasing exposure a bit. Oh, and I watermarked them.

Then wow that is a stunning snake.
He's even better in person, and he's got a very laid back personality as well.

A lot of the brilliance was the lighting. We set up a muslin backdrop, remote flashes with diffused lighting to get every bit out of the photos that we could. I couldn't believe the rainbow that came off of him. He doesn't pop with a camera mounted flash anywhere near this bright. But I've never seen a snake that shimmers like he does under these conditions.
