Beautiful babies - even brighter after they shed. How do you keep them all in the container to get a shot? Even with one I have him bouncing off the walls - they are crazy at this age,

thanks for sharing,

mary v.

Thanks everyone! And congrats to you Mary V on your recent hatchlings.
Yes, they are spastic, bitey little buggers at this age. Mary they are in a deep styro for the photo, so they couldn't escape. I put my hand in stirred them up
and waited for even distribution, then snapped with pic with flash and a quick aperature close....
You learn lots of little tricks for taking pictures of triangulum over the years.
I usually just squeeze a snake or two under a margarine container,or deli dish, then prefocus on a bic pen just beside, so the focal length is the same. ...Pull the container, and snap the shot... A tripod is essential

Ahh - so thats how you get the shots of them - tall, steep sided slippery container. I like the bic pen suggestion - substitute for the snake for focus purposes - great idea. I use the tub over them and a quick removal and then try to get the shot but always takes me too much time to focus!

thanks,

mary v
