Re: Posing snakes
For younger snakes, I heard that putting a hand in front of their head, and touching at the tail will get them to pull their tail in toward their body and coil their neck back into the 'S'. Lighting? Pretty sure a lot of people here use natural lighting  you can also use a light box, but I'm not sure how to build one... yet, anyway.
Uum... patience and luck is probably the other advice I can give. Snakes can definetely be as bad as children in getting them to sit still to get a nice shot. |
