Hypo Stripe Lavender '04

C

COMPOSITE CORNS

erroneous pickle
Here are a few pictures of one of my male hypo stripe lavenders.
The pic is pretty close...pink background and grayish pink stripes.
I'm surprised I don't stress him by pulling out the cage to look at him too often!
Anyway, I'll post some more pics of some other animals. I have a bunch of pictures taken for my web site (www.compositecorns.com) that is in the works.
If anyone else has a photo to share of a hypo stripe lavender, I'd appreciate a picture to check out!

Thank ya' very much for taking a look!

P.S.
Any good tips on getting snakes to be photogenic?
It makes it REALLY difficult to get a good, clear picture when a snake doesn't want to cooperate.

Thats it...its official, I'm going to kill you and take your corns. Geez man! What have you been doing!! Quit one-upping all of us :D
 
With the really squirmy ones, the best way I've found is to have them under a hide that they can't get out of and that can be easily lifted. (Cardboard doesn't tend to work for me since they push against it and it lifts them up when you lift the hide.)

Get them comfy in the hide and have one hand on that. Meanwhile, with the other hand, focus the camera and have it ready to snap the picture. Then in one movement lift the hide while snapping the picture. With our camera, it's necessary to be pushing the button a fraction of a second before lifting the hide.

Some of them instantly run, but sometimes they will also sit still for another picture or two. ;)
 
I do photography quite a bit. You can see my work on www.amcgltd.com

It's better if you have a macro setting or better yet, a macro lens! You get awsome pixes. Also posing your animal on a branch or flowers can help. My little guy is so small and so stressed right now that I really don't photo pose him yet.

Yeah, you've been breeding corns for 15 years and just now stumbled upon this site, and started dazzling us with these awesome stripes! Where ya been :cheers:
 
wasn't gloating, just a proud papa!

Thanks everyone for the tips and the cheers!

All I can say is that I'm glad I have a digital camera.
I have taken about 400 or so pictures in the last week.
I have about 40 usable pics to show for it.
Most of the way finished with what I had to take pictures of and them I had about the same idea that you recomend. It worked much, much better.

When brain storming for ways to get these little ropes of fury to hold still, it made me think of a scene in the movie "Scrooged" when Bill Murray's character suggested a way to attach little antlers to a mouses head.
STAPLES!!!
Bet they would hold a snake down too!

NO, I DIDN'T STAPLE MY SNAKES!!!
Just a maniacal thought!

I'm one of those guys that hang in the background usually.
Actually, I've been cruising these boards for a couple of years now, just enjoying the info, experience, pictures, etc.

I'm really just a punk 24 year old that got his first pair of 100% normal cornsnakes at the age of 13. Some would say I'm obcessed.
Always spending my money and time on those icky snakes. :shrugs:

Thanks,
 
Here are some photos of the two males that I picked up from Stephen Roylance in 2004. They are very pink with an orange cast to them with ruby eyes. Very Nice Stephen!

Nice Joe,

Are ALL of those pictures of HypoStripeLavs? The second one down looks almost like an Opal(they eyes look red, but it may be the angle). They are beautiful.
 
It is the lighting. They do have blue eyes with ruby pupils, but they are not pink. Here are a couple more photos of my two guys. They actually almost look identical in person, but the photos make them look quite different. I need to get a more up to date camera.

They both should be breeding size in 2006, so my plans are to breed them to females from my Striped Lav line, to instill some out crossed vigor and produce some Striped Lavs het Hypo.
