The October Photo and Caption comments thread.

[adamanteus]

Let's make general comments about this months' photo and caption competition entries here, to keep the competition threads free of general talk.:)

[Josh]

not sure mine is quite eligible?

[zooplan]

Hi Josh,

I´ve chosen the theme like this to make it possible for any keeper to give an entry to the contest.
Your picture shows garters varity in comparrison to the other entrys but some pictures will show variations like the example.
You´ve got a nice snake with interessting color.

[enigma200316]

well I put my entry, but it sucks, and thats the best I could get.........:(:)

[DEKAN]

Great pics...I'll have to work on mine, I'm afraid the mom could eat the babies :rolleyes:

[reptileparadise]

And we have a winner...Nice job Sabine!

[Gijs & Sabine]

And we have a winner...Nice job Sabine!

Hahaaa, don't be silly Sjoerd :D The contest is far from closing, so anything can happen. We're just in the lucky position to have a lot of differend garters :rolleyes:

[reptileparadise]

The contest is far from closing, so anything can happen.

Thats true, but still...awesome picture...you have my vote (...or something really strange has to happen...)

[Gijs & Sabine]

Thanks Sjoerd ;)

[adamanteus]

Sabine, that's pretty close to the picture I had in mind for my entry! I'll have to come up with a new idea now!:confused:

[zooplan]

I´m enjoing the contest:D
It´s quite coooool to see you guys fighting.
Very nice pictures.
Maybe I´m able to post a photo here during the next days just for fun;)

[Gijs & Sabine]

Sabine, that's pretty close to the picture I had in mind for my entry! I'll have to come up with a new idea now!:confused:

No you don't.....you have differend garters then we have, so the picture is never the same ;)

[reptileparadise]

Oeh, James...please make one like Sabine did...its absolutely awesome!!!!

[zooplan]

Your photo is very brilliant again, Sabine.
I dont think even nobody can show more than a dozen more brilliant than you.
This may be an inspiration to those who had no entry yet.

an extra variation: color, pattern and ....... size;)

[ssssnakeluvr]

Sweet looking red sider!!!! LOOOOVE the baby also!!!! will be a couple years for me now...just waiting for my 2 female hets to get to breeding size...they are feeding well and growing good....maybe even next year!!!

[reptileparadise]

Very nice red sideds Udo!
...Are you expecting any het. albino red sideds next year?:o

[Gijs & Sabine]

That's a really nice picture, Udo :)
And a good idea as well for the ones who haven't entered the contest yet ;) Let's bring in some more pics!!

[zooplan]

Very nice red sideds Udo!
...Are you expecting any het. albino red sideds next year?:o
I´m expecting some albinos and pos. hets.
Dont know if my albinos will grow fast enough to mate next year.

[reptileparadise]

hmmm....so tempting...
Remember me to get back to you about that ;)
Your albino parietalis are so cool!

[zooplan]

I´ve seen some very "high red" offspring of your breed Sjoerd
so there could be somthing to trade:D

[reptileparadise]

oh my...thats like music to my ears!
( actually thought about that...but didn't think you would be interested in something like that :) )

[hissy100]

Crap, the problem with me is that i don't have any really cool looking color morphs. Just a yellow morph and a white morph.

[zooplan]

´orinoides?
Isn´t it that snake with the dark line thru thier eyes,
very unique and easy to define on this part of pattern?
You got two types of coloration, try to catch it!

[hissy100]

No I don't think my snakes have lines through there eyes, if you want a look look at my gallery and my snakes are ordinoides not orinoides.

[hissy100]

Here's a few possibilities:

[Bay_area]

I posted a pic with a caption, my wife gave me the idea when she said it must be embarrased because it is blushing...anyhow, hope you like it:)

[CrazyHedgehog]

Do I have to name all of them ?? ..........no way :D

http://i134.photobucket.com/albums/q85/gijssabine/groepfoto.jpg
imppresive, I am afraid this one will be getting my vote!

[zooplan]

Nice and impresiive entry, Hans.
Are the all brothers and sisters?

[zooplan]

oh, I´ve lost a "d"
http://www.zooplan.net/images/onestriprot2.jpg
Here you can see the line and I could see it on your entry to the August Photo contest too. It is not as clear as this example because your specimens are darker colored.

[Snaky]

Nice and impresiive entry, Hans.
Are the all brothers and sisters?
None of them are related, but I've handpicked them by coloration like that. I love the color difference, even the green one. Unfortunately his colors don't show up that great in the pics. I wonder what the offspring will bring...;)

[Charlet_2007]

imppresive, I am afraid this one will be getting my vote!

Are those all garters? Man i didnt know there was that many colors.... where can i find the one that is to the left that is black and yellow checkered? :confused::confused:

[zooplan]

Hey Inge,
I´m not as sure as you yet.
There is one whole week left for some different, exciting brilliant entries.

[Josh]

hans that green one is astounding!

[Snaky]

Thanks Josh!:)

[adamanteus]

Some excellent photos this month, guys. I think Udo chose his topic well. I haven't entered yet, I'm still waiting for inspiration! Some of the entries, for example Stefan's (typically) understated and subtle entry will be hard to beat. That said, I have a week or more to come up with something, and if I do I will be trying to win!!!!!

[zooplan]

the count down is running.
Maybe there are only a few hours left for the final entries:D

[adamanteus]

Congratulations Gijs and Sabine. If you let me know the theme you have chosen for the November competition, I will post the new threads.

[enigma200316]

another contest done, now lets get on with the next one....lol:D

[zooplan]

The next contest will be hard to me anyway, because most of my snakes are at the cellar.

[Stefan-A]

My external hard drive's power supply failed. Can't get at any of the photos I've taken since June. :( The new one should arrive today and I really hope I guessed correctly that it isn't the drive itself that's broken.

Anyway, congratulations to the Winners. :)

sorry to hear that Stefan, best of luck to ya with it...........:)

[Gijs & Sabine]

Whoohoooo, we won !! :) It took a while, but finaly the victoryflag is on Dutch ground now :D
Thanks everybody for your votes.

I know this month it's gonna be hard for some, because some garters are in brumation already.....but good luck to all of you ;)

The theme will be TONGUES. So let's bring out some tongues !!

[adamanteus]

Good theme, Sabine. Of course the entries don't have to be new photos, you can dig up some old ones if it helps guys!

[Stefan-A]

Of course I was right about the power supply being busted. :D

Remember, boys and girls: Jesus saves but Buddha makes incremental backups. ;)

[Lori P]

LOL, Stefan you crack me down. :-) :-)

[reptileparadise]

ow...Tongues...thats a tricky one! Got tons of tongues pics...
only one entry?

[zooplan]

only the best, Sjoerd

[adamanteus]

I haven't got any decent ones (well, not Garters anyway). I'll have to take a new one!
