Now I know the Mods are busy, but is the Sept. winning picture going to be put up on the intro page?

[Stefan-A]

Thanks for the reminder.

I must say; It is going to be SUPER hard picking this month's winner. There are some seriously evil looking snakes...Not to mention fantastic photography.

[Charis]

I totally agree! Think I have it narrowed down to two that I like best, so far, but it's going to be really, really hard choosing between them!

Nice entry to the photo contest, but that is not eligible because it is no garter snake.
What kind of snake is it?

[Stefan-A]

Thanks for pointing that out. It seems to be a Natrix.

Doesn't it look more like Nerodia? I'm not very good with identification, but from this head-shot it looks just like a Nerodia Sipedon I rescued over the summer.
