You can also get them feeding. They will stay still for that! Jack 12-27-2008, 02:45 PM right ill try that the 2 bigger ones are ok but the babies are so fast FloridaHogs 12-27-2008, 04:25 PM Same with me, when feeding or remove the hide really fast. 147BOAS 12-27-2008, 05:34 PM get them put them under a bowl what about 1-2 minute and get ready to snap a picture remove the bowl and take the picture it works for me good luck JChandler 12-27-2008, 09:01 PM Icebox....lol NO don't do that....

It is sad what you consider when attempting to get a picture of them.....:cheers: norsmis 12-28-2008, 08:43 AM I have never "cooled" any to get pics but I have heard of people doing it. I just take the 3 million pics and hope 1 is good.... I ahve taken pics during brumation though.... Jack 12-28-2008, 09:04 AM yes you do consider but mine are 6 week old babies JChandler 12-28-2008, 09:06 AM yes you do consider but mine are 6 week old babies Slap them in a deli cup to eat and put the lid on loosely, while they are eating slowly remove the lid and snap a couple of pics with no flash in a well lit area....that is about the best advise I can give...they are a pain sometimes. norsmis 12-28-2008, 09:08 AM Slap them in a deli cup to eat and put the lid on loosely, while they are eating slowly remove the lid and snap a couple of pics with no flash in a well lit area....that is about the best advise I can give...they are a pain sometimes. Yeppers! I have had them shoot out of the deli with the pinkie in their mouth too! Fast little jokers! Not as fast as the milks though..... Southern Wolf 12-28-2008, 06:14 PM Not sure what camera your using... but for those really fiesty ones... this is what I will do. Set my camera up on a tripod... have the snake Under a deli cup and prefocus on the deli cup.... Using my cable release... I will then lift the deli cup and depress the release (normally have it set to autofocus... and the prefocus just helps speed up the process). I keep my camera on burst... and I can normally get a few good shots this way. |
