What is the best way to take photo's of your leo's? Surely it is not a good idea to use a flash especially with albino morphs?

the best way i found to take pics is by putting them in the light of a window so you dont need to use the flash. you'll find albinos wont open there eyes out in day light if it hurts them Smile

yeah natural light is obviously the best way, no cameras that use infrared either.

and trying not to put the camera in their face lol, but rather using the zoom function from a distance.

i have found my best success with goung outside on an overcast day, or in the shade. you dont NEED flash but it is good to use as "filler" light to lighten up the shadows. i do know that leos have more light sensitive eyes than most other herps, so the flash may actually bother them. i am gonna get some pics in a few days, but after that i plan on not taking ALOT of pics of the leos...with a flash anyways.
