Win a prize, take out your camera!!!

[MrG]

With reptiles coming out of their winter sleep and seeing some decent images here, I thought I might run a special photo challenge with a price for the winner.
Images will be judged by me and two outside independent persons.
Price will be a decent first aid kit (posted to the winner).

The photo must be taken during the month of October 2010 (ending 30th of Oct 2010)

Specific RULES for submitting.....

- Submit one photo per member, (no frame or name on image).
- Must be of a SA indigenous reptile or insect.
- Subject must have been photograph in the wild or natural surroundings.
- Only SA residents can participate and photo must have been taken by yourself.
- Submit date, time, location, specie name, type of camera and settings you have used.

Good luck and let’s see what you can come up with.

It Rained on wednesday so we did a 45 min road cruise about 3 km from my house at 11 at night (1-1:30hours until the rain stopped) and found this little guy on the road so I put him on ground.
