Where does all profits from the calendar go?
I would imagine it goes to josh

By the time the calendars are printed and shipped, I am pretty sure there is no profit. It isn't cheap to have a bunch of them made up, and considering Josh fronts it out of pocket...

I'm hoping we can have the "patriotic" shot for July and the Aldabs and pumpkins for November or October. Great pictures this year. Kristina, your picture is precious. I know the beak is stationary, however your picture really looks like the tortoise is smiling. Very expressive eyes.

Gotta love the Manouria for being so expressive. I have a series of photos of the same little tort climbing up and out of their enclosure. I swear in the last picture he is grinning, just all pleased with himself (and covered in Mazuri, lol.)

Great pics everyone! Keep them coming!

I have been registered since 9/6/2011. When am I considered a member? I have not been able to post picture for the contest. The attachment bar never shows up. However it does show up if I attempt to reply to other posts such as this one.
Great pictures entered.
Thanks

Hi Barb:

Your 30 days are up 10/6/11, so you are now eligible to enter the contest.

Its best if you use Photobucket or Tinypic to add your pictures.

Hey Wellington when I clicked on the link it said that the photo was deleted. Did that happen to anyone else?

Help, help help I did the photobucket, but the picture doesn't show up only the link to view the picture. I previewed my post before actually posting it and the picture showed up on the preview but not on the actual post. I am not very computer savy when it comes to that kind of stuff, can you tell?:D I usually can get away with just the copy and paste, old school and I'm not that old? What can I do to fix it, or just leave it alone?
I should have had my son do it, that younger generation whips through this stuff.
Thanks

It shouldn't be deleted, but it also wasn't suppose to show up as a link either. Don't know what I did. First time using photobucket. SORRY, SORRY, SORRY, working on hopefully getting it fixed.

With Photo Bucket you use the IMG code.. It will start and end with IMG. It will look something like this..

My little picture guardian:D I was wondering how it suddenly appeared, I thought maybe I lost my mind. Nice to know I haven't yet?
Thanks for the help, I sure need it.

I love that we are getting such a wide variety of species entered. I enjoy getting to see a different one each month, so I can be learn the small special points that make each one so unique.
