Thought it was time to introduce a friend of mine......this is Einstein, one of three ball pythons that my boyfriend and I keep. Monty din't keep still enough for this shot and Hussy is quite a bit smaller. Trouble with photographing snakes is that they don't keep still!
Here is the link to my normal flickr stream www.flickr.com/photos/sarahbrigden/
I took some photos of some of Lamont's (my brother) critters last night for him. He breeds these, so these are some variety of rare colors and whatnot. So the crazy-strange colors that you see are really how these guys look; they're not retouched.

of "Monty" who is a Royal (ball) python (Python regius). He's a very gentle snake who's been in my care for 29 years. Royal pythons rarely exceed 4 - 5 feet in length and are native to west Africa. Photo by Frank. .
"Monty" is most likely between 35 and 40 years old. I've cared for him for the past 30 years and he was an adult back then. He's a Royal (ball) python (PYthon regius). Royal pythons are native to West Africa. The longevitry record for a ball python is 47 years. Photo by Frank.

of "Monty" because he's most likely almost 40 years old and good to have pictures of him. He's a Royal (ball) python (Python regius). Royal pythons are native to west Africa. I've cared for him for 30 years. Photo by Frank.
The ball python or python regius is a nonvenomous python species found in Africa. This is the smallest of the African pythons and is popular in the pet trade, largely due to its typically docile temperament. No subspecies are currently recognized.
The name ball python refers to the animal's tendency to curl into a ball when stressed or frightened. The color pattern is typically black or dark brown with light brown or gold sides and dorsal blotches. The belly is a white or cream that may include scattered black markings.
This python is known for being a picky eater and may not eat for months, particularly during the winter breeding season. Ball pythons will not eat when they preparing to shed.

shed her skin in one piece today maybe for the first time since I started caring for her in 1991. Usually her skin sloughs in pieces because of our dry climate in Idaho. She's a Royal (ball) python (Python regius). Royal pythons are native to west Africa which is more humid than west Idaho in the United States. She could easily be 35 - 40 years old now just like my other elderly Royal python, "Monty." Like "Monty," she would have been captured as an adult in Africa. She really is a beautiful snake.

Mira loves Mekala. She's laughing because her flicking tounge is tickling her neck.
I suspect any snake-o-phobes are having a seizure right about now.
I can't decide if I feel like this photo is terrible or good.
In the end I decided that it doesn't matter if it's good or bad, because there's a lot about this image that I absolutely love. All the little things about this photo that probably would be considered "technically wrong" are my favorite parts of the photo. I really don't think I would change a thing.
Dusty's tattoo on his back was the initial reason I wanted to do a shoot with him.
My daughter took this photo of me and my python.
I cropped and edited it so it actually looks like my python is part of my t-shirt, which is of an eagle.
My usual PS skills leave a lot to be desired, but I thought I did well with this as all the colours and textures blend perfectly.
PS: Ball python is only 6 months old.
Something a little different.
trying to help me photograph "E-B though her help was not the most useful. "E-B" is a Royal (ball) python (Python regius). I've cared for "E-B" since October 10, 1991. She was an adult then so must have been at least 5 or 6 years old making her close to 30 years old now. Today is one of the first times I've taken pictures of her. Photo by Frank
