February: Herp of the Month Candidates

Here we go for February!  Theme of the month will be Valentines Day!!  Hearts, love, pink, red ... Etcetera!

Ever-changing Rules:

You can change your vote at any time.

Your photo entry CANNOT be changed after it has been posted. ONLY ONE PICTURE PER MEMBER.

The sooner you get your photo up in the beginning of the month, the higher the visibility and more votes

The photographer should own the picture. Photo's stolen off the internet will not be accepted. Pictures of wildlife, museums, zoo's, field collections, and aquariums are fine, as long as they were taken by you.

Voting starts at the beginning of the month and ends at the end of the month. Winner is chosen the first day of the next month.

In the event of a tie, HOTM photos will be posted in the order in which they were submitted, on the portal page.  

Please DO NOT post unless you are posting a picture. Off topic posts will be removed.

Due to the format of the poll, it may close the poll early on the last day of the month.  The poll is based on a 24 hour format and it appears it closes on the same hour the poll was created.  Please have your vote in sooner than the last day of the month.  I apologize and there doesn't seem to be a work-around.

Ready set go!!

putting myself in the race for Feb.. if this aint love i dont know what is

Love is in the air for "The Odd Couple" (Croaker the Dumpy tree frog, and Leo the Powderpuff Chinese Crested Dog)

(Disclaimer: I would never suggest doing this with untrained dogs.  Leo was heavily socialized and conditioned from pre-weaning age to be non-reactive to basically... everything)
