Hey, I missed the winter one so I'll definitely have to get it on this one. Time to break out the camera..
 
I always feel left out when we have these because I have good pics for this, but I absolutely cannot take prizes of live animals.. :crying:

The only non-manipulated photos allowed are of corn snakes. The reptile category is for ANY reptile/amphibian you have (Cresteds, beardies, boas, pythons, etc.)

I'm going to say yes on this, as long as it has been obviously manipulated to fit in the "All Reptile Digital Manipulation" category.

The rules say nothing about no amphibians, so frogs, toads, salamanders, etc. are in, as far as I'm concerned.
