My avatar is?

[guidofatherof5]

Lately there has been some talk about forum avatars.
I thought it would be nice to know the story behind those avatars(for those who want to share)
I'll get this started.
Mine is a photo of our girl "Ally". She passed on Sept. 28th 2009 after almost 17 years of dedicated service to my family.
She was a Brindle Boxer/pit bull mix. A family member and life saver.
My children still cry over her passing. She was my best friend and the best dog I've ever had.

She's awesome looking. Sucks when they move on.

Mine is a photo from Manitoba, Canada, home of the biggest garter snake hibernation site. It's my favorite kind of garter (red sided) and I've always wanted to got there. Plus it's cool because it's a bunch of garter snakes :p

[ssssnakeluvr]

mine is my female red plains garter

[d_virginiana]

Mine is of the toad I find on my porch a lot. It got curious and put its nose right up to my face so I got a picture of it.

[kibakiba]

Mine is a picture of the runt of my first litter. I need to get a new picture of him, he's turning blue :D

I used to be a moderator on a Homestar Runner forum. While there, I developed a habit of making Stinkoman avatars. It's a recolor of a Megaman sprite, and I have about a dozen or so different ones, including Abraham Stinkoln, Bat Stinkoman, Luke Stinkowalker, Linkoman, Martin Stinkoluther, Indiana Stinko and others.

The one I use here is a version based on Steve Erwin, the late great "Crocodile Hunter".

For more information about Stinkoman, just CLICK HERE (http://homestarrunner.com/sbemail57.html).

Mine is... Well... It's me! With Ra, a snake that I would do anything for.

[Hornets23]

Mine is one of my spiders..Chaco golden knee. I am ever so slightly obsessed with spiders and since i never could get all that fantastic pics of my garters....

[infernalis]

Mine was inspired because I said too much.

[Kantar]

my 2 favorite garters, Frosty and Serpent.

They were both in that hide and sticking their heads out cutely, and the only spot I could take a good picture was through vines

[Odie]

Stripe, a single stripe NWern :D

He is Robin's & the Snake that made it so I get to keep some ;)

[Plissken]

When I first posted my welcome thread someone posted that picture asking if it was me. I thought that was pretty humorous so I made it my avatar.

[Jeff B]

Mine is me with my favorite ever snake named Ruby. She was a snow plains and she gave me my first litter of babies, she has since passed due to birthing complications. She was one of those snakes that loved to be out and handled and even watch TV, seriously she would park her head on my lap and watch TV, she had an alertness and intelligence about her that amazed people. I still miss her.

Sad... Her son is doing great.

[Mommy2many]

Mine is with my original two snakes, Stewie and Baby snake. Both have passed since then but I still love the picture. They were "snuggle snakes". Stewie was gravid at the time and she took care of the baby we found and had for only a short while.

That's because it's "Snake" Plissken (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Snake_Plissken) from Escape from New York.

I know ;) I just thought it was funny that someone asked if that was me and posted the picture. My user name is supposed to be a reference to that character, I'm not really sure why I chose the name though. I probably just thought it was clever. :rolleyes:

[jitami]

Awww, so many lost loved ones. Mine is my first snake and first garter, Sly. He'll probably always be my avatar. He started this whole mess <gg> He's 10 this year and I'm still in no way ready to lose him!

I kinda figured that's where you got it from. I was more or less explaining for anyone else who might not know. It is a cool name.

I think it was me who posted that pic. I tend to do stuff like that.

[infernalis]

I rotate avatars from time to time.. so the story changes with each one.

[Spankenstyne]

Mine's my oldest male checkered when he was a youngster

LOL
I don't beilve that

[Mrs N1ntndo]

my avatar is of a snake I owned for a while. I love the pic cause she was the first one I ever got a pic of her yawning. I still havent been able to do that.

[RedSidedSPR]

I've never gotten one!!!! Camer delay gets me every time!

[Mrs N1ntndo]

Thats what my problem is but what I do is take some at every sec...(kinda) just sit there and click away exspecially is you have seen them yawning. I can seem to get ones with tounge out either. I got one once kinda but it was soo blurry you ahd to know what you were looking at to spot it..lol

[RedSidedSPR]

I had a lot of toungues but they are all bad, and most were accidental. :p

[New Mutant]

Mine is my favorite comic book character, Cannonball, of the New Mutants (obviously). The current picture is him crying about the death of his friend and teammate Cypher. Since my Luke died recently I wanted my avatar to reflect my feelings.

[BLUESIRTALIS]

My avatar was created by ConcinnusMan to match my user name. He said it was a pic of one of his blue concinnus. He did a fantastic job so i decided to use it. Before his i used a pic of my favorite eastern garter which is my (anery / axanthic?) named blue.

[BUSHSNAKE]

mine is a picture of me handling a cottonmouth on snake road in southern illinois taken by my late friend Tim Marino (RIP buddy)
