I can't make up my mind which of these to pictures to submit to the contest. Either way, my chances of winning are nil, but advice would still be appreciated.

I personally like the first one

Choosing a picture is always a gamble.

Both photos are very nice. The second one of course shows more tongue.
Don't sell your photos short. You have as good a chance as anyone else to win.

I think all the pictures so far are great. But then any close ups of garter snakes are great.

@ Gartergeek: I like the bottom one. who the heck tied a rubber band around your snake? I mean, what the heck is going on near the tail? That doesn't look good.

I'm not sure what you mean by rubber band, but he's wild-caught and pretty beaten-up:

A part of his tail is missing on the end, and it appears that some of his ribs were broken. I think that when the ribs healed they grew inward or something, because he's a little crooked. I've had him for two years and that's the way I found him, it doesn't seem to bother him at all. Could that be what you're looking at?
