I love that photo of the snake swallowing the mouse. The look on his face is precious!

Voted...what great entries!!

This is very interesting. The photo contest a tie so far between 3 people. And the caption contest is a tie between 5! Holy crud!
I didn't get a single vote. What the heck? I can't believe it. If it wasn't mine, I would have voted for the green cordoroy caption. A garter with a sense of fashion. Now that's just funny stuff right there.

Hey, I have an idea. Since there is no limit to the # of times one can enter the caption contest, perhaps voting method should be changed. So that we not only know WHO's caption won, but WHICH caption was the favorite. Perhaps we could vote by post # ?

It might even be cool to remove the limit from the photo contest and vote by post # too. That way we can get to see more cool photos. What do you think everyone? Start 2010 with a new and improved thamnophis contest?

I know I were late but not too late,
although it was easy to choose this time

Yeah but it's easy to see WHO's caption was voted for, but which one? Some people entered multiple times. did anyone understand what I'm getting at? What about my idea? any feedback?

We could also be missing out on some great photos due to the ONE ENTRY PER PERSON limit placed on the photo contest.

people should just post their great photos so we don't miss out
the contest is the contest

Yeah, we understand what you're getting at.

Right now, I'm waiting to see what the public opinion seems to be, how much support your suggestion gets and once I have that, I'll weigh that against the added trouble of trying to make it possible to keep track of which poll option goes with which contest entry.

If it were up to me, I'd limit it to one entry per person in the caption contest, too. But that's just me. Another thing we've discussed at some point in the past, is how much photoshopping should be allowed in the caption contest.
