Post commentary for our March entries in this thread.

Have fun, everyone!

EdgarOrtega

Great first entries, guys. :)

Grumbledog: Horrible Spider is looking good. I like those mysterious shots with the shadows and red lighting.

Joeseph: Your OBT looks so innocent there in the web cave. heheh I love your H. mac. It makes me want one even more. I love those naughty spiders with attitudes. :) Nice job!

Great shots, guys. Keep those entries coming. :thumright:

grumbledog

Thanks, Edgar.

HS molted today! She's even more beautiful now. I think it will be a while before she's ready to resume her modeling career, though.

EdgarOrtega

Wicked shots, guys.

Skippy:I like that close up. You lucked out on getting that girl. Very nice. :)

Warren: Glad to see Lepidoptera in our entries. I'd love to see some more butterfly and moth shots.

EdgarOrtega

Bonedog, your spider is glowing like some unnatural radiated mutant spider beast.

I like it.

Keep them coming.

Bonedog

Why thank you Edgar. I'm going to look in the redwoods tomorrow.

I'm hoping for a giant pacific salamander.

Wish me luck!

EdgarOrtega

Dicamptodon like cold creeks and can be flipped in or under objects near the water. Good luck! Here's a page with some habitat shots and info for the species in your range. Hope it helps.

Good luck and have fun.

Awesome, Fred. :)

That's really cool that you went down to do that. I love teaching kids about animals. There's a joy and unfiltered excitement and enthusiasm that is expressed by children that seems to be lost on some of us adults.

Thanks, Fred. Love it. :)

llamamama

John, those are awesome pics!

EdgarOrtega

Wow, John. I love those TW Scorpion shots. I like one you caught mid-molt. Very cool. :thumright:

llamamama

Great entries, everyone. If you haven't posted your entries, yet, be sure to submit them soon. This month's contest will be open for only another week, until April 3, so submit those photos.

Free T's are always a good thing.

Also, all officers who've entered this month's contest will be entered into a drawing for a very special officer's prize.

The officer prize will also be the prize offered for next month's contest winner. (hint hint to all you officers)

Trust me, it's a goodie!

Keep those photos coming!

EdgarOrtega

Nice photos, Marlene. I especially like the last black and white one. :) Very cool.

Only a few more days left guys! You may submit photos through April 3rd.

Winner will be announced this weekend!

BayLee

Sorry, guys I just realized i volated the rules and posted in the picture thread.

Marlene:
Nice shot of your picture is it a P. irminia?

I saw that, but I couldn't do anything about it cept delete it, so I just left it. I don't think I can move individual posts. Its not easy being green. lol

Great pics, Dee. I like the funny hats.

I saw that but couldn't do anything about it. My only option was to delete it, so I just left it. Being green doesn't let me move individual posts.

Great pics, Dee! I like the funny hats.

llamamama

Nice pics, Denise! I like the pet holes making appearances!

EdgarOrtega

My only option was to delete the post. it doesn't let me move individual posts, but I did see that Lony.

Nice pics, Dee.

I like the funny hats.

EdgarOrtega

actually you should be able to move posts from threads. dont the mods have the 4 buttons in the lower left that have an x an arrow a lock and a split peice of paper? if you do you pick the split paper and you can move the post out of it and there is also a merge you can do, that the admin (Rachel) has to look up in the admin forum

EdgarOrtega

The March Contest submission thread is now closed.

We had some great shots entered! Now our super secret panel of SFBATS mucky mucks will begin the voting process.

Winner will be announced Sunday night!

We'll also be announcing the prize for the April contest, so check back!

Great entries, everyone! :)

Good luck to all who entered!

EdgarOrtega

IF ALL GOES WELL...

Winner will be announced Sunday night at 9pm!!

EdgarOrtega

The mucky mucks have started their voting!

Who's going to win?! Who's going to win?! Nobody knows!

....I think I know who.

grumbledog · Honest!

I would just like to say that it is COMPLETELY coincidental that the Hickory Farms gift baskets arrived at the judges' houses this evening. I was just being nice.

EdgarOrtega

LOL Actually, all of the SFBATS officers live in one house. Its all part of a new reality show for Animal Planet.

There is love, there is drama, but mostly a whole lot of fun and wacky adventures.

You should see the antics Laurie and I get into. It will call for some good ratings, for sure.

Bonedog

llamamama

It's so amazing, it's almost unbelievable!

EdgarOrtega

almost... lol

llamamama

Thanks for the reminder...I need to email Animal Planet! LOL

EdgarOrtega

Actually... its all very true except for the part about the TV show and living together. Edgar's flying monkeys keep him well informed.

We're still waiting on some of the votes to come in... sit tight and pray we get it done on time, guys. :)I think we're still waiting on Florida.

llamamama

Gosh darn it, Edgar -- you didn't ask me if you could use the flying monkeys! Get those things back here to Oz asap! I need them to keep my munchkins in line!

Who won? Who won? I can't wait until it's announced!

BayLee

Oh this is creepy. Laurie this was you 666th post.

UglyKid2

Yes, Laurie IS a tad devilish!

BayLee

Hm she has not posted since this one. Maybe they go to her?
Poor thing....

EdgarOrtega

Ok, this puppy is headed over to John's to do the officer drawing and finalize the March contest winner!

I'll try to post the winners around 9pm!

It will be close!!
