I know, I know. It was a joke, at least to me... Since my garters at least would eat until they puked if I let them. Maybe you should tell my mom that, she doesn't believe me when I tell her our dogs fatness is causing her problems. I know how bad being too big is, I'm battling problems that are caused from weight, too.

That must be from a F A T snake, isn´t it?

Nope. Not fat, recently ate, though. The picture looks much fatter than he really is. Not sure why. Probably because, if you'll notice, alot of the picture id of the bottom scales (belly or whatever you call it).

This pic was from the same week (the think the day before the entry pic)
He ate two small-ish nightcrawlers that day. Then the next day (the entry-pic-day) he ate 7 fish.

And FYI, ConcinnusMan, to your caption contest entry, that picture was taken a few weeks ago. I had blurred the edges for fun, but also because I didn't want the edges to show. The edges showed stuff other than the snake. For the entry I COULD NOT find the original, so I had to use the blurred one.

I liked your caption though.

Now you've sparked my interest. Perhaps you messed up like my brother did, and there was a bong in the picture? Box of maxi's? pair of skid marked underwear? LoL. Jk.

How did you guess?

I have to tell you about Jeff's opinion of the photos so far (he's my husband)
this came up, because I showed him the one I am planning to use, and he called it "gross" - something to do with whitish skin patches between the scales
so, of course I had to see whether the entire close-up realm would be gross to him, and showed him the contest entries so far
for the most part he doesn't care for them, but he really landed hard on Steve's photo
the only reason I will share this here, is because I know that we here on this forum look at these images with a perception unique to us, and Steve will not take this personally - coming from a non-snake-person
and no matter how long I stare at it, I can't see that Steve's photo looks anything like "beetles crawling through poop"
should I be upset that he couldn't be more poetic about the grossness of my photo?

Great story, Rhea.

How did you guess?

Oh OK, must have been all of the above.

no matter how long I stare at it, I can't see that Steve's photo looks anything like "beetles crawling through poop"

Say what? You mean that's not what it is?

Thank you for your great entries.

Wether you entered with a "yellow brick road" or "beetles crawling through poop", a roll of blister foil or a piece of sequin dress,
airbrush art, special type of corrosion on rare metals or feather decoration,
all pictures are showing a special sight of our snakes.

Thank you for sharing!
