I couldn't believe it when I got on here tonight. I did a photo shoot with Dale and Ruby and Eddie just this afternoon and was going to post them tomorrow. Looks like I timed it just right. :D

When do you think they will be ready? Will they be shipped in time to give as Christmas gifts?
Do you have an estimated cost? Do we send pix through the photobucked thing?

I am aiming to have them shipped out in time for the holidays. They will be sold for $15-20 plus shipping. The quality from Costco is excellent. I will post some photos of the 2010 Calendar. You can enter by posting your photo in the contest submissions thread.

The top 12 (not 13) winners will be published. The 13th page will be used for a collage of all this year's entries. I will update the rules accordingly.

Do the winners get a free calendar? Also! I want to mention, there are a lot of GREAT photos in the Forum...and they would do well in the contest, but a word of advice...try to keep your hands out of the picture...i.e. don't hold your tort and don't bait him with food (on camera anyway)...these are surefire ways to end up in the shallow end of the voting.

Ugh! I am stuck deciding between two different pictures! This is hard! One is super clear and nature looking, the other is almost as clear, but is also very cute!

Good idea! Is that somehow against the rules, Josh?

That tortoise is a male Aldabra tortoise named Allie (short for Alliedabber). He may be the largest aldabra living in captivity.....650+ lbs.

I was a volunteer at that zoo for almost 2 years.

RE: Third Annual Calendar Photo Contest commentary Thread!

Just a reminder to type in your tortoise's name (if he has one), species, and who took the picture. If you've neglected to do it and have already posted the picture, I will be happy to fill in the blanks if you'll send me an email with the info. [email protected]
