Hopefully this isnt against TOS....lol.

I am opening a specialty herp shop, and would like to decorate the store with as many HIGH QUALITY HERP photos as possible. Any species you have I could use, but theese are the guidlines.

All pics must be in the largest format, highest quality possible, and I perfer shots from cameras with 3.2 or more megapixels.

I want ONLY NATURALISTIC SHOTS AND SHOTS ON BLACK BACKDROPS. No shots with hands, cages, ect. Must be artistic looking shots.

I am NOT WILLING TO PAY for any of the pictures. However I will ask permission for each and every use of any photos. I will also be happy to PRINT AND SEND you a 11 x 17 GLOSSY of any selected prints at MY COST.

Below is an example of what I am looking for.

Thanks in advance

THIS WOULDNT HAVE ANYTHING TO DO WITH YOU SELLING BOA MORPH POSTERS ON ANOTHER HERP WEBSITE THAT WE ARENT ALLOWED TO METION HERE WOULD IT? BECAUSE IF YOUR USEING PEOPLES PICTURES UNDER FALSE PRETENSES TO TURN A PROFIT THATS NOT TOO COOL BUT HEY THATS JUST MY OPINON BUT IM SURE I WONT BE ALONE IN THIS?

You never experience life until you have kids..then you realize what you should have done rather then what you did do

I do not have any "hidden" agenda in asking for the pics, other then the ones stated in the post.

The picture in question is MY PICTURE of MY SNAKE all of them are in MY HOUSE right now as I type I promise.

I want pictures of animals I dont keep to print up and hang in my store for DECORATION. NOTHING MORE.

As I said in the post I would ask for permission for EACH AND EVERY USE of anyones photos, but actually it seems Im not going to get any anyways. For some reason every picture people have offered up, when I right click to save it, saves in bitmap. They send them in jpeg, and arrive in jpeg as a attachment. But when I try to save it will only save as bitmap. So its really a moot point soo to speak.

Here is the pic in question. The reason Im offering up prints for sale is two fold. One I think its a awsome picture. And two I paid a TON of money for my printer and camera, and if I can recoup some of it from MY PICTURES, why not.

I assumed someone was going to call me out on this, and thats fine. I would do the same thing, but hopefully this answers the question.
