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.

Thanks! I'll check it out. Gonna see if I can get a better picture before I submit one of these ones
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.
