Snake of the Month

[eddie]

So, anyone have anymore input for having or not having a HOT edition of snake of the month?
Hots do kick butt in the contests

I don't know about a new hot contest one way or the other but a serperate rtb category would be prudent... they have the numbers to substantiate it... and rtbs get boring after awhile so the pictures don't get a fair chance against rarer species... purely because of the species and not necessarily the picture...

Yeah, even a DOR hot can whup boa butt in the contest now

They can all be run simultaneously, no need to cancel a lizard show for one month

why not a Corn snake SOM, and a python SOM, and a gartersnake SOM????

the SOM is generalized so we dont end up with a contest for every species, type, and variation of snake. Smae applies to the LOM.

Being that this is RTB, i wouldn't mind seeing more RTBs in the SOM. A lot of the members have boas but dont submit their pictures. Now I would just try to get more participation from the members for the SOM as it stands now, before trying to start another contest. I honestly don't think a HSOM contest is going to draw anymore hot keepers to the site.

I wouldn't be opposed to a semi-annual or even quarterly HSOM, but really cannot see it as a monthly contest without it pulling entries from the SOM.


This is my opinion and is not directed towards anyone.

	Corn Snake The Corn Snake or Red Rat Snake (Elaphe guttata) is a species of Rat Snake.
