    First off, bright sunlight allows for fast shutter speeds which is essential. Otherwise, all you get is a blurred tongue. Still blurred a little bit. Macro mode, snake sitting still, camera very close, and taking photos as fast as I can until one happens at the right time.

    I try to let my snakes out at least once a week for a minute or two when temperatures allow it. Let them "sprint" around until they're breathing hard. It's good for their heart, lung, and muscles IMO. That's something they just can't do in any practically sized enclosure - get exercise. I think if you don't do this once in a while, they get out of shape, flabby, and their muscle tone goes to pot.

    Playin' favourites, eh? Haha. My well behaved snakes get to go outside a few times a week. Sometimes my baddies do too, especially Snappy.

    Yeah the adults get a trip outside about that often. They love the sunshine and fresh air!
