Picture Taking Suggestions??

I am trying to get quality photos of my snakes. However, the color of the actual snakes differs greatly between picture and real thing. Does anyone have any suggestions? Also, I am looking for suggestions on materials that lend well to pretty pictures.
 
Get a good camera...

I have tried with a webcam and 3 types of digicams, and I can only get good pics with the good digicams. The one I have now is a Fuji FinePix, which was a $380 model that was on sale for $300 back in April or May.

I have also learned that using the flash, although it eats batteries, is a necessity. At least for me. And if I use the "limited flash" it leaves the shutter open way too long and blurs everything.

Also, lots of bright lighting (several lamps pointed right at the subject from different angles) helps a lot too. If you don't have enough light, the "color correction" and all that "high-tech" jazz can't do a good job with a dim picture, so you get ugly, dithered, fuzzy, pics with really inaccurate colors. ;)
