May 2007 Photo & Caption Comments Thread
Let's make general comments about either the caption contest or the photo contest in this thread to cut down on the amount of chit-chat between contest entries. Have fun,

Re: May 2007 Photo & Caption Comments Thread
The mother of this one and 14 others was without doubt T. s. sirtalis. I purchased her as having been wild caught here in South Carolina just one week prior to the sale. We only have Easterns here. But, of the babies I kept, most are developing this same coloration.

Re: May 2007 Photo & Caption Comments Thread
What's considered a baby? Less than a year? Ten inches or less? Or newborns only?

Re: May 2007 Photo & Caption Comments Thread
Good question Matt. Maybe we should let Stefan-A decide, as he chose the competition topic for this month. What's your definition of "baby", Stefan?

Re: May 2007 Photo & Caption Comments Thread
What's considered a newborn?
 I'd say anything the poster can call a baby without having to try to convince himself. If you feel that a snake less than a year old can be called a baby, then that's fine with me.

Re: May 2007 Photo & Caption Comments Thread
I knew somebody would have to ask that question, so I had plenty of time to choose between either a rigid & arbitrary definition and a more subjective one.
For example, if 10 inches was the limit, then why exclude those that are just over it? They could still be the same age.
