Backgrounds

[goReptiles]

What backgrounds do you prefer for taking pictures of your geckos?

I've been toying with a few different, but haven't decided what I like.

I've tried black fish gravel, but it seems that the shine on the gravel creates a glare on the gecko.

I tried plain playsand, which does not create a glare, but kind of blends in with yellow geckos.

I've tried slate tiles, but I had to combine four tiles to make a big enough background, and didn't like the mismatched seem it created.

I've tried a solid red blanket, but the brightness contrasted with some of the geckos.

I'm about at wits end... I'm thinking about trying black sand.

What do you guys prefer?

I've been using the covers on my bed for a background. I thought the pics looked kind of cool.

Jesse- I tried the covers just playing around, but my covers are lime green, so they tend to make them look dull.

White Poster board... and if you want some cool reflections you can out them on a piece of plexiglass.

Whitney - I hear you. I also have these weird colored yellow ones that I tried and the pics looked horrible. I do like the blue thou.
