... while here you can bring a nice camera to take pictures of any herps that you happen upon as I have done for the HOTM category, at least.
Uh uh uhhhh....
BPOM and HOTM always have to be pictures of animals that you actually own. (Or owned at the time the picture was taken) From time to time, though, various POTM themes allow for entries of herps encountered in the wild.
