What's the photography plastic called?

Hey, I have been trying to find this black or white plastic people use to photograph their snakes. The plastic gives a small reflection aswell. If someone knows help me out I'm going nuts. Haha.

Not sure about a plastic but I got some really great pics using large pieces of white bristol board as a floor and a background. Small trick I found to getting them to stay put for the pics Is putting a hide down for them then pull the hide off when youre ready to start taking pictues

I hve a partner putting them in place so it's not to bad. I just need that material.

We normally use granite, wood, etc.

I use a kit like this. There are inserts for the tent that are matte on one side and slightly reflective on the other.

I, for one, really like black plexiglass as a surface for photographing reptiles on.

A friend used a mirror on the bottom of his light tent, turned out really cool.
