A side portrait close up of Dumain. Taken as close as the lens would focus. This portrait is going on my wall in large format canvas. No cropping or color correction other than a levels reduction in the high white area. He's definitely a vibrantly colored serpent! Granite amelanistic Burmese Python.

One thing I love about posing pythons for portraits - it is possible to have the relaxed animal occupy every pixel of the frame and still get a well centered head shot. This is not possible with most other animals, unless their neck is cranked at an unusual angle.
