Here's another pic of Sweetpea BEFORE eating a little turkey diet treat.Last time I posted a pic AFTER a meal.Some people thought she was obese.Just thought I would clear things up a bit.She is currently 4'11" and 11lbs.Maybe too thin now?

The other day I fed off a bunch of day old peeps to Sobek to use them up because Shadow stopped eating them. Now Sobek looks fat, only in a few days she will look normal. Ill put up a pic of Shadow, now over 44 inches.

Heres the reality of the internet. If you show a pic of a green sav, we will see it as a green sav. Then you say, its not green, its blue. Then show the same sav as being blue. We now see a blue sav, so its now blue. On the same line, if you show a pic of an albig that looks fat, its a fat albig. Remember, all of us on the internet do not have THAT monitor. Then you show a pic of that albig, looking skinny, to us its skinny. Get it. We do not see the animal, we see its picture.

IF you choose to represent your monitor with a picture that makes it look fat, then be prepared to accept comments that reflect how it looked. As thats all I/we have to go by. Its the posters responsibility to post pics that represent what he wants the internet to think. That is the reason you post a pic.

Its not the readers responsibility to "not" believe what they see. F

Thanks for enlightening us! Only you could do that, coach.

even without retouching with photoshop, you can lie (intentional or not) very easily with photography.

like i could take a pic of my nile after poking him and pulling his tail, and say he is a bastard for attempting to whip the camera.. or take a pic of him all cold and being picked up and pet by a bunch of kids and say he is super tame. (the truth BTW, is somewhere in between)
