Photographing your Pituophis

[homegrownherps]

Whats everyones best method for photographing their pits ?

 

[hhmoore]

I like to wait until they are just coming out of the egg, lol, seems to be the best time...otherwise, they aren't too cooperative about staying still, so I limit them to boxed shots. I would love to do some out in the yard, but once I lift them out and set them down again, they are in GO mode - I suppose I could try tranquilizers (for them, not me)

I KNOW that Alicia takes pics of hers (even though she didn't enter them in the photo contest <pokes at Alicia with finger>)...maybe she will share.

.........there was a PHOTO CONTEST AND NOONE TOLD ME!? *Pokes Harald AND Jim with two fingers EXTRA hard* WTF Mates!!!!!

I get photos of her, by putting her on something she has to hold on to. * last good ones came from her on my black computer chair*

They arent tree snakes, but i know they can use their tails kinda to grip, so just stick em in a tree or a shrub ( Hold on to them anyway please... i dont want peoples bullsnakes lost to my silly advice!) it seems to Counter them wanting to go go go and makes them have to figure out how to get down first. " how am i gonna get off of this thing so i can gogogo!?"

is the contest still......active? *goes to look*

*edit, warning random off topicness, cause... thats what i do*
mmmm my avatar looks SWEEEET! /random edit cause i needed to be all smug for a moment.


*edit #2*

Nooooooooooooooooooo! it died in AUGUST! :*( Do another! i have pit-ures that are cute! *goes to take more*

The Photo contest ( if you want to call it that ) was up for about 3 months and the only entry was Harold. I thought there were a lot more pit owners out there.... I guessed wrong. I would put it back up if I knew more people would post pics. You, me and Harold only make three ....we need more !

I was gonna say - another round or two, and you would have to declare me the winner by default

can I pick the model?

 

[hhmoore]

whatsa matter - you don't like the PE-2?

Jim, Alicia says she is going to pimp the photo contest...I'll assume that she meant she is going to spread the word and encourage people to post, lol. Gonna give it one more shot? (I promise I won't post my pic first, this time...I know it was a cute pic, and don't want to scare off the possible competition, lol. Besides, if some really good shots come in, I might have to bring in the big guns and enter a different one)

Sure, I could only think/hop that it would better each month !
And since is going to be a public vote, I am considering entering a few pics myself. But not to worry ...I don't take great photos.

I will repost it sometime time today, and hope for the best.

[hhmoore]

(I had read the rules way back when, Jim, I was just having some fun)

PITUOPHIS PHOTO CONTEST

I'll play when I get back home from vacation. I am a sorry photographer though.

Maybe I can get some wild shots here in Denver. So far, the only pit I have seen here was DOR.

Nowhere in the rules does it say the subject has to be alive...and believe it or not, I can think of a few DOR shots that could get some votes (but that is me, and I'm a bit tetched in the head)

 

[Mooing Tricycle]

YES! * starts pimping *

I guarantee thisll be a GOOD contest this go around! *pimps some more*

Pits are Sooooo underrated!!!!

That would be something ...DOA shots !
I don't know how many votes it might bring , but your right ....nothing in the rules says you cant DOA shots.
