Well i dont want to sound like a party pooper but if that contest to happen there should be some kind of forum photo editor availible To level the playing fields. What do you think?

I think that is a very good and valid point.

Although on the other hand you cant take pictures without cameras to enter in the contest. You buy cameras just like photo editors. And you dont see a forum camera
Ps thanks

Not really. The problem is that not that many have the tools to edit pictures, that's why I thought it would be best to keep it a single contest, which should automatically level the playing field. Skill wouldn't be the deciding factor, but rather humour. A obviously fake picture made with Paint can easily be funnier than one done by a pro in Photoshop and on the other hand, a funny caption could easily beat them both.

It was just a suggestion, I'm not going to get upset just because somebody doesn't want to implement one of my brainless ideas.

One and a half week are gone and I´m still looking for the right rocks to let a snake pose on.

I like granite most and quartz for contrast.

Nice looking atratus, Udo. I also like the look of granite, although I don't use it in any of my snake enclosures.

Tis is not an enclosure but a special set for the very special endeavour of the photo-contest this month.
