With most dslr's, you can change the color tone in the edit/touch-up settings via menu to make the picture accurately match real life colors. Or you can just mess around with white balance manually.

Thanks! And yeah, to clarify I really only meant to mention the color/saturation because of the weird variation between my pictures (especially if you compare cellphone and DSLR shots). The photography nerd in me likes everything to be somewhat consistent, and I'd do the same no matter what pictures I was sharing. The inconsistency throws me off, which is why I feel a need to explain. It's not as noticeable with my preferred subjects (dogs and people), but a JCP is significantly more colorful so I'm still getting used to it myself.
ATM I think I have my camera setting colors actually geared more towards violet/magenta because my D7000 naturally adds a weird green hue to everything. I still need to work on my skills with the camera, but for now I just shoot everything in RAW and if I can't get it right SOOC I'll try to adjust in PP.
And I know the talk about flashy color/high saturation is probably exhausting for a lot of people to hear, and old news. I apologize for that and can understand, having experienced similar frustrations with other hobbies/interest of mine. Rest assured, as I had said even before this snake shed... I'd be happy with him as is. He's a great looking animal with a lovely temperament, and here to stay for life. It was actually a very lightly colored JCP that first drew me in to this type to begin with. I didn't really see the colors or level of contrast, just the beautiful patterns
I agree that all of them are incredible.
That said! This is my first venture into the hobby and into the world of reptiles. And maybe it's also because I'm one of
those girls and I like pretty things to look at
I have no doubt that I'll get over this
"oooooh, pretty!" phase with the bright yellows and high contrast, but for now, I've only been in the game 6 or 7 months. I'm inexperienced and have had very, very limited contact with reptiles and the community. I'm going to be distracted by flashy, shiny things and I'm going to want to brag a little when my baby snake just shed. Especially if he's beginning to look
exactly like the snake I wanted when I started looking for breeders!
So, just bear with me for a little longer. I do think they're all beautiful, and I'm more attached to this little dude than I thought I could be. He's not going anywhere, and I'm more in it for the pet aspect than I am the display potential. That said, I'll still probably talk about his color and contrast and for the foreseeable future, the flashy ones will still be my aesthetic preference. I have no doubt that my preferences will change and expand in the future, but for now it's what it is!
Haha sorry, that got really long. I know what I said wasn't quite in response to what you meant in your comment. And I did take your comment very positively! But I also know that my answer might be in response to what a few people have been thinking, so I want to just clear that all up.
Thanks again!
