but I would like to enter a photo of a snake without ground contact.

But we can't see it's tail. How do we know it's not holding on to the edge of the pool with it's tail?

I'm going to have to persuade our marcianus to swim, she's not shown any real desire for water so far. Sure, she'll slither through her pool if it's the shortest route from A to B, but she doesn't stop in it for long. I'm not even sure she's drinking, maybe she's a secret drinker.
I have two weeks to catch her in the water to enter this months contest.

you can put a couple fish into the water bowl, the snake would be back trying to see if there is more after they are all gone

[RedSidedSPR]

Put a couple live feeder fish in there! She'll go in!

EDT: WHOOPS! yeah, what Matt said!

Ya know what, it doesn't even matter if had a photo or not. We're not getting a new computer until October.

Oh no! You have to wait a whole month????

[RedSidedSPR]

Yes. It's terrible. The worst thing is my cameras SD card (memory) is full. I've deleted any pics/vides that can go, but I can only fit about 20 more pictures in my pitiful little SD card, but can't empty them onto computer/zip drive... And to think, I just got a 500 gb hard drive. Lotta good that did.

Just want to say that the winning photo last month was stunning! What a snake.
I´m going to try and get a good one of either of my guys, they both go for regular swims in the tub

[hjelte]

Alright guys, here´s my first contribution in the contest section.
Somewhat blurry, I know. But I hope you can see that the little guy swims

I think it's just a simple cut and paste error when you copied the image URL. The URL you've used is:
http://http://www.thamnophis.com/tha...php?photo=9861
So you've got an extra http:// in there. If you post using the URL without the extra http:// at the start of the image address you should be fine.

thanks for help, but no go. Deleted the extra http://, but still nothing. Sorry everyone for hijacking thread with this!

[RedSidedSPR]

You didn't hijack anything.

Try right clicking tha actual photo, hit "copy image location" and paste in in the image logo "

I use Imageshack, rather than the forums gallery, cause my pics are too highquality for it.
