Need pictures for website

shaggybill · 10-29-03, 06:27 PM

Hello all. I am posting this in several forums to make sure most of you see it.

I am currently gathering material to put together a website that will eventually be a Field Guide covering the entire United States. Every species along with its subspecies will have a distribution map and a semi-detailed description of the habits and habitat of the snake. I am having to make each distribution map myself. All of this, as you can imagine, is a huge undertaking. To put in mildly, HELP!!!

Unfortunately, I dont have every species of snake around my house to photograph for the site. If anybody has any nice clear pictures of any kind of snake, I could definitely use it. What would be nice is a picture around 400 pixels wide, 300 high. No more than 50K in size. Also, it needs to be in the wild, or at least look like it. Its very important that the patterns (if any) stand out. This is, after all, a guide for identifying snakes.

This is being done in my spare time, so it will probably be months before I get it done. Maybe even longer.

If anybody can help, please post on here. I would tell you to go ahead and send them to my email, but due to size limitations on Hotmail and Yahoo, I'm afraid I would lose most of them.

Thanks

Contact me if you think you could use any of my pics. I have some of the native snakes to FL. Go to www.crimsonking.funtigo.com and there's also a link at the bottom of the first page to "Snakes of FLorida" Just let me know if you need better, bigger, or smaller pics.

If you want to email me, I can give you a good picture of almost any rattlesnake native to Arizona. (I also have a few pictures of AZ native colubrids). Email me when you need the pictures: emroul@cox.net

Have fun, and good luck!
