Smile Any one want to help with my book????

I need pictures of the species below I can't really afford to pay any one but I will give you credit in the back of the book if I use one of your pictures. Every one is welcome to put pictures up but when doing so you hand over all copy rights to me. Just saying it so I don't get have to go to court. It is a book about the species of snakes in Iowa and the most facts I can find of each snake species

If any one has any research to contribute send it my way thanks like the great debate over which watersnake is here in Iowa Copperbelly water snake Nerodia erythrogaster neglecta or Yellowbelly watersnake Nerodia erythrogaster flavigaster if any of you guys have been in Iowa what one have you seen. Any Ideas at all let me know what you guys think I am trying to make the best book I can for the general public so they can learn the most from this book and STOP KILLING SNAKES because of there lack of knowledge.
Thanks to every one that contributes.

Re: Any one want to help with my book????

if this is meant to be a field guide type book; perhaps those of you who own the snakes the OP listed could take a good overhead/belly shots to aid in identification? not sure what types of pictures you are asking for...

I have a Kingsnake, but he's a Anery White Sided King, he's real pretty if you'd want to use him maybe? And I love the Pratie Kings!
