It’s both, I’m on the line of professional but business can be hard to find so I don’t have a huge a solid professional foundation just yet. Biggest trick for any animal is do pictures on a full belly in a calm area, for reptiles a heating pad under the backdrop makes a huge difference. This is picture was actually him chewing up a cricket. Don’t push them past their comfort level, if one day they’re cranky and not wanting to cooperate just let them rest and try another day, if you push it they start to associate it negatively and will never cooperate. High shutter speed is best for your faster moving critters, and try to put your lighting at an angle instead of right above them, seems to make them less nervous that way 🙂
