Agreed. The key to a good photo is in the lighting.

It depends. If you can get the light box set up perfectly, then you won't need a flash. That said, I usually prefer to use a diffused flash for effect. When done right, it creates a nice illuminating effect without bleaching out the whites.
My go-to lens for reptiles is a Canon EF 17-40mm f/4L. If the lighting is properly set up, you can use a fast shutter speed and get a good depth of focus with f11-16.

Like most boas, she is a total buttercup. Out of all of the boas in my collection, there is only one specimens that requires a cautious approach, all the others are fairly mellow with the proper approach.

Re: Bolivian Boa constrictor
Thanks NF. I have the Tamron 24-70mm f2.8 which is a lovely lens together with the standard 100mm EF macro so will have a play possibly tomorrow but more likely Friday as my little boy will be in nursery then so much easier to fiddle with stuff like this!!

Re: Bolivian Boa constrictor
And yet another member of my Bolivian boa group. This is a CB13 female, also Barry Miller lineage. She should be ready to go next year.
Everybody always flocks to the Surinamese boas, but I cannot get enough of these Bolivian silverbacks!

Re: Bolivian Boa constrictor
Stunningly beautify snakes NF but I cannot see for the life of me why they are called silver backs 
Your whole boa collection is to die for.
I cannot recall, do you have any Peruvian Bc's?

Thank you, Danny! I do have a single male Peruvian boa, but I don't really have a good picture of him yet. Working on it...

Haha Poor little guy. I really love the hissing photos. I've been waiting for a hissy snake to come my way, but alas, 8 snakes in and no hissers. I don't think I've ever been hissed at, the most I get are some half-hearted huffs.  Not sure how the next two will be.
