My female charcoal cornsnake posing beautifully for me. I have a gut feeling this won\'t do great in the challenge due to it not being a \"cute and fluffy\" pet. Heck, some might not even believe she is a pet, but instead something I found in the wild. I can confirm she is a pet, one of 16snakes I currently own.
Editing - crop and resize, autocolor, adjust bright, contrast and upped saturation just a tad. Noise Ninja, add border, save for web.

Thanks everyone for all the great comments. I can confirm that yes - this snake is my pet. One of 17 snakes now that I currently own. She is a charcoal cornsnake. And you think cats are hard to get posed...try a snake. They don't have ears so you can call them and get them to look at you...LOL!
This girl is still a baby, although a little bit bigger than most of my other baby cornsnakes so one of the easier ones to photograph. I too wish the focus on her head was a little tighter, but c'est la vie.
Looks like it should be on the cover of a snake book! I would love to have the back end of the snake in focus too, if that could be done without damaging the oof leaves in the back.
i love snakes, though i don't like them as pets, because i think, the belong to their natural environment, as it seems to be here.
so i'm struggling between giving it a low score for not beeing a pet photo and giving a higher score for loving the shot for its quality and subject...*deep thinking*...ok those cute eyes convinced me of giving it a 7...;)
Stunning, and I hope this does well for you, as it should, as the photo is excellent, and a winner in my book, thats for sure.....
Definately a "9" from me.
