That is an eastern right? They can look so different it's almost funny.

Yeah he is

We're from Ontario, Canada. Believe that's the only garter we have here?

How do you enter the photo contest? I need to get some more pictures of Mr. Pink, I now have an actual camera instead of cell phone LOL.

Just put a picture in the contest thread and you've entered the contest. The theme is head close-ups this month.

Marc & Marie,

The contests are just for fun. There are no prizes, but they give us a chance to enjoy each other's snakes. Here's a link to this month's contest (http://www.thamnophis.com/forum/tham...o-contest.html). The first post has the rules. I hope you enjoy the contest.

Mr Pink is lovely.
Are his stripes really this deep colour?

Thanx i think he's kinda unique myself.My friend used his VERY, VERY expensive camera so the color is very dead on.

There are about three more days left to post new pictures into this month's contest. Then the winner decides the theme for the following month. My cheap, old camera has a bit of trouble focusing on extreme close-ups, so here's a trick I use. Hold your camera only a few inches away from an object with good texture, and press and hold your focus button half-way down to make it focus. Then move the camera the same distance from your snake with the button still half-depressed, and finish taking the picture. I have to do it this way because the extra 3/4" between my IR sensor and lens makes a real difference on close-ups. I hope this tip helps.

That's the reason I want a decent digital SLR, with accurate through the lens focusing. One day!
