I love looking at pictures of peoples snakes.
If you got it flaunt it!(snakes that is)

Isnt that what this is all about, sharing cool snake stuff?
Me personally, I would rather just enjoy the shots of some cool animals then persue some cynical reason(show off, sales pitch) of why they posted it.

But thats me

Everyone i know hates or fears reptiles. And i love them. I love taking pics of my pets and i have nobody to share them with. Reptile people are few and far between. The net is all we have.

I Love it I am drawn to picture threads,I mean who dosent like a little eye candy right? Even if you look at it as showing off is that so bad? When someone has a animal I can't afford at least I can look at quality pictures and dream.Getting quality pic of quality animals out there influences and inspires people.This actually make the herp community stronger.At a time when the herp community is constantly under attack through new legislation numbers are Never a bad thing!

I really enjoy looking at other peoples collections. Usually when I go to someones website the collection tab is the first thing I view. Is it showing off? Maybe but it could be that they are so proud of their collection they want to share it with others. I know I do. I really adore me animals and find my self just looking at photos of them while I am at work some times. Call me but reptiles are a huge part of my life and I can't get enough of them. So yes I enjoy threads with great pictures of others collections.

I love looking at picture threads and seeing people's collections and new additions. It's always fun. I don't always like every single snake pictured of course but that's just about personal taste.

If it weren't for the collection threads and picture threads I probably wouldn't have a clue as to what half the morphs or designer combos are that I do now (which is probably a tenth of what's out there heh) and I probably wouldn't be working towards a couple of the projects that I currently am either.

Yup, gotta say I love seeing other people's reptiles. Especially snakes. I'm the only person I know that has such a passion for snakes, so it's nice to find a place where other people share that same love for the slithering creatures.

The whole point of this forum (outside of husbandry Qs) is to show off your animals and enjoy seeing other people show off theirs!! lol

I LOVE seeing pictures of other peoples' snakes, I can't get enough of 'em.

I must agree , I love pictures it is part of what keeps me coming back so frequently. Seeing something new all the time is exciting.

Hi,

I love looking at pictures of peoples snakes simply because it lets me get a better idea of the variation in each morph and so decide on what I like.

A year ago I would have sworn blind my fave spiders were ultra-reduced low whites - almost solid gold with black x's down the spine looks amazing to me.

But then someone posted a picture of a blackback spider with lots of alien eyes in the side pattern and I thought it was a stunning looking snake. But until I saw it I would have sworn blind I didn't like that kind of spider.

I still like low white spiders but prefer high white bumble bees ( mainly thanks to Ed's it has to be said ).

The variablility is amazing in these animals and for those of us who cannot get to shows easily online photo's are probably the only way we will ever see enough of them to know about it.

It also gives me a feel for what combo's I like best and might be able to make in the future - can you imagine spending thousands of dollars and 3-5 years just to make a combo you then realise you didn't like as much as you thought you would?
