Reptiles and guitars

[BarelyBreathing]

I was at home doing a little experiment trying to figure out which snake I was going to use for a photo shoot that was coming up where a band requested having a snake brought in. I was trying to figure out which snake felt more comfortable being manipulated onto a guitar, and I thought it was a fun idea to take pictures of a few of my snakes on a few of my guitars. Obviously, this isn't a serious photo shoot, and the camera I was using was poopy. Enjoy anyway.

We used Valentine for the shoot.

Those are great photos! But i will admit, the third picture, with Valentine, is my favorite:)

[Swany]

These are cool pics :-) Beautiful snakes and some real nice axes ;-)

[Strutter769]

Cool color combinations! Snakes & Rock & Roll - also a perfect marriage.

Nice guitars! (and snakes)
Would love to see the final product of Valentine though :yes:

[marvelfreak]

I like Lighting on the Jackson myself.

[theapexgerman]

The outcome of that shoot is under contract. The picture will be in a booklet of a band's cd, and I can't publish it until the band has released their album.

Valentine has been the center of another photoshoot, though. I'll have to upload those pictures when I get back to work, if somebody reminds me.

Ohhh can I see some more pictures of Diesel?? He looks sexy!

[BarelyBreathing]

I have pictures of Diesel in my thread titled My Boa Constrictors or something similar to that. Hang on, I'll find it.

[Gungirl]

..........Thanks!

Here he is.

[Gungirl]

Haha thanks I actually commented on that thread too.. I need more coffee. I really would love to own a snake that mimics his colors.

That BCO is stunning.

[BarelyBreathing]

Thank you. Diesel is actually REALLY old, and he came from a poor living situation before I got him. I worry about him constantly, especially because he's becoming more and more lethargic.

[Gungirl]

:( I'm sorry to hear that....

[BarelyBreathing]

Me, too. :(

[Norm66]

Great pics and axes. You have some pretty exotic basses to go with your exotic snakes. ;) I like it!

[millertime89]

Great pics and great ax collection, I'm quite jealous man. My favorite picture is the one with lighting on the randy rhoads special edition. Shoestring on the blue guitar is great too.
For photo-shoots the bigger the snake the better the pictures generally.

I am drooling over that Jackson signature Randy Rhoads.... Except the inverted pentagram inlays...

[BarelyBreathing]

Thanks, everybody. Yes, I'm very proud of my collection, both reptiles and guitars.

Judging by your display name, I would hope so. :P
