Thanks very much! Kevin McCurley started it when he gave me a female spider this past expo. Since then I have acquired many more crazy balls...

KEV....what did you do to me!!! :medbugged :mednormal :jawdrop:

[JCReptile]

nice pictures!
how do you get your snakes to "pose" like that for you?

[Ghi Reptiles]

Thanks...and usually the balls will hold still but if they don't, a light tap on the nose will make them coil back and be in an almost striking position. Also, my family has been doing reptile photography for many years and they have gotten about 30 covers of mags, books and calenders, and also a huge amount of inside shots. I have some shots in one of **** Bartletts books and it was a honor for him to choose them!

I think if you do a lot of photography like we do, you get use to how to 'pose' the animals :mednormal

[JCReptile]

thats a cool technique.
im going to start taking more pictures.
thanks.

what type of camera did you use to get your pics in those magazines??

[Ghi Reptiles]

At the time everything was pretty much taken with EOS series film cameras. DIGITAL IS SOOOO MUCH EASIER NOW!!!
