Rules and Info

How to Join:
:bulletgreen: Click "Join our Group" at the top of this page.

Gallery Submission Rules:
:bulletred: Work for submission to our gallery can be in any medium, digital, photography or traditional, but it must be herp related. ie: snakes, frogs, turtles, lizards, salamanders, caecilians, tortoises, tuataras, and crocodilians.
:bulletred: No herp anthros, no disrespectful pics of dead herps, no mythological herps, and no long extinct herps. This means no dinosaurs.
:bulletred: To submit, click on "Gallery" at the top of this page, then click "Submit to this Gallery." You can choose which folder you want to submit to, or let us do it for you! Need a visual tutorial?
:bulletred: You may submit no more than three deviations a day for review. Keep in mind that just because you send us a deviation and are a member, it does not mean we will add it to the gallery.
:bulletred: We will decline deviations that are not up to a basic artistic standard, as many clubs have galleries full of junk due to members using club submissions as free advertising. Make sure your photos and drawings have good composition, good focus, good exposure and a compelling subject.
We do not accept snapshots taken through dirty glass, or any similarly non-artistic work.
The presence of a watermark that obscures the main focus of the work will also result in rejection.

120 Seychelles tortoises living free in Moyenne National Park

An 86-year-old Yorkshire man, Brendon Grimshaw may have lived alone for many years on the tiny island paradise of Moyenne in the Seychelles in the middle of the Indian Ocean since he bought it in 1962 for £8000, but he is rarely lonely.

For Brendon has spent the years reintroducing the indigenous giant tortoise to Moyenne and now shares the island with 120 of the magnificent creatures, on one of the world's smallest national parks.

While the snake looks cute, we had to decline your photo due to poor focus and quality. Keep on finding snakes though!

How interesting :) Is this the only specimen you found, or is there a population of these new Diadophis snakes where you are? Does it exhibit unique behavior? What kind of habitat did you find it in? Do you plan to write a paper on this species?

before sending the photos to a specialist for an expert, I'll look for it in other regions and other specimens, to determine their total size. I live near three nature reserves that have not yet explored share.

Howdy-ho fellow reptilian aficionados! :squee:

I just wanted to pop by and let ya'll know that our group is currently running a Crested Gecko Feature for the month of May. You can read about it in our blog here - [link] , but essentially we're simply wanting to encourage fellow deviants to share in the love of cresties!

You do not have to be a member of :icongeckos-galore: to participate, so if anyone in your group is feeling inspired we'd love for you to join in!

The only stipulation for the Challenge is that it must be a new deviation (as of 5/1) and relate to crested geckos in some way. Can't wait to see some great deviations from our fellow artists!

Cheers! :iconiluvyou:
