flash photography

[garterman07]

i think my garter rico doesn't like camera flashes...went to take a picture of him and all of sudden he took off and disapeared for a while behind the bed. we could see him just not reach him took like an hour to lure him out with a worm it was really cute though watchin him under the bed all curled up just chillin down there.

has any one else ever had this problem?

Some snakes apparently take it better than others. Mine don't react to the flash in any way. But they are a bit scared of the flashlight.

Camera flash does not bother any of my snakes. It doesn't seem to bother ones in the wild either, from my experience.

yeah mines a bit terrified of the flash light too always tries to eat the beam of light on the bottom of his cage...

To be honest I've never had a snake react to camera flash, except for perhaps a barely perceptable twitch.

This isn't the first time I've heard about a reptile reacting that way to the flash. Mainly geckos and anoles, but also pythons, boas and rat snakes (including corns).

I also have had no problems with flashing the snakes.
But I always wait untill they close their eyes

what kind of snake is that?

Rick would probably kill me / ban me / delete my post if I answered your question, Rhea.
