Reptile & Amphibian Forums

This open call applies to all of the cage & habitat design forums/subforums.

This is not a cutthroat competition for only 'professional quality' photos.

The selection of the photos used on the various forums will be based on the clarity of the photo and the appropriateness of the subject matter, and where they may best fit in among the forums (kingsnake.com, kingsnake canada, and kingsnake europe).

In other words, don't take it too seriously and get all bent out of shape. We just want people to enjoy sharing their photos in a fun atmosphere.

RULES FOR THIS OPEN CALL REQUEST:

Photos MUST be uploaded to the PetHobbyist photo galleries and then posted here. Photos submitted that currently reside on websites other than the PetHobbyist Photo gallery cannot be accepted. http://gallery.pethobbyist.com/

Photos should be clear and in focus with the animal/object preferably the subject of attention.

Watermarks on the photos are acceptable as long as they are minimal in size and do not noticeably detract from the photo itself.

Photos should range between 160x120 and 640x480 pixels (photo size). I do not pysically edit the photos when I place a photo on a forum's page - I merely play with the width/height tags in the html to make the photo fit. So, in order to spare those individuals with dial-up connections - photos that have insanely large files cannot be accepted due to the longer time it would take for the forum page to load that photo. It is a good idea to resize any photo you want to submit prior to uploading it to the photo gallery.

The Terms of Service of this site still apply. All submissions must be photos that belong to you. You may not use another person's copyrighted photo.

I built the stand out of 30 Cinder Blocks and 4 eight foot long 2x4 boards. Total cost of the project was only $36. Holds 4 forty breeder tanks. The stands they sell at my local store hold only 2 tanks and are $150 each, so it would be $300 to do the two stands.

The tanks themselves run about $150 each once I get them fully setup with UTH, heat lamp, aspen, water bowl, hide, driftwood, and vines for the snakes. Or sand, caves, water bowl, calcium bowl, food dish, UTH, and heat lamp for the geckos.

The top two tanks are set up for snakes, the bottom two for Leopard Geckos.

I have about 50 pets so racks would be the easier way to go, but I prefer large decorated tanks because I think the animals get more stimulation and I enjoy looking at them. My entire basement is one big animal room. I can't say just Herp room since I also have the ferrets and rats down there...

This is a 30 gallon tank for a single male green anole (A. carolinensis) who can be sort of seen peeking from his perch on top of the cork bark. The top is screen with a UVB fluorescent fixture and a daylight incandescent for basking. There's a UTH on the warm side. On the left is an automatic mister in case I'm out of town, though I mist by hand on most days. Humidity is maintained by glass sheets covering the exposed screen of the top. The disco fogger provides a little ambient heat for the cage and much amusement for me.

This is a home-made, 4 foot tall, 4 foot wide, 2 foot deep, double chameleon cage. The design allows for a seperator to be slipped into the middle and divide the cage into two seperate 4 foot tall, 2 foot deep, 2 foot wide cages. And taken back out to make a perfect sized breeding cage. Perfect for a bredding pair of chams. Plans to make the cage are on my site *URL is in my signature*
