Crop love it all except your white balance is off in all the photos. See if your camera lets you set it and match your bulb at like 2700k and/or different results around there.
I've been using the Nikon viewnx2 program when uploading the pics and that is the best true color setting I've found. As I'm typing this I think I may have found a better one. I clicked on gray point and the color looks good ill upload pic to see the difference.

Those look 10x better Crop! When you're editing, look for "Color temperature" and try to be around 2700. Or, when you're taking photos, if you're using a DSLR, you can shoot in RAW mode instead of L (image quality setting) and then when you edit the raws, you can set the color temp afterwards. If you're starting with a JPG, the color temp is already locked into the photo. A RAW is kind of like taking a photo at 1000 different settings all at once, giving you more control when editing.
Lastly, you could do a custom white balance. Basically you set your focus to manual, make it blurry, and put a white piece of paper in front of the lens in the tent or whatever environment you're about to shoot. Then you tell the camera to use that as white, and it says ok, this is a bit yellow, so we know it should be white, so all photos will be adjusted for that color difference.
Hope that makes sense, I used to shoot photography professionally

Thanks for the tips. Since I've had the DSLR I've only been shooting raw. I don't think the ViewNX2 program has the color temp option but ill look again. Have you heard of the raynox drc250 lens? Think I'm gonna order that and some AF extension tubes to get some close up / wanna be macros.
