Contest Entry Gone

[sallyb]

Hi, Can anyone tell me why or where the pic of Gizzy has been removed from the entries please ? This pic was taken when i had worried something was wrong, but turned out to be Gizzy`s idea of hunting bugs - she sits until they come to her when she gets impatient. I do not think there is any reason for it to be removed.

[sallyb]

Thanks Syn - it was exactly that i think. I only had it at 600 pixels.

Hey sallyb, I wanted to comment on your personal diagnosis of your chameleon.

You can't give up looking for a problem if your cham continues to sit on the ground. It's completely unnatural and a clear sign that something is wrong. Every chameleon (including yours) is a predator. They hunt. If yours is not hunting that's a another sign that something is wrong. Please don't chalk it up to personality.

The classic example is the chameleon that wags his tail. Oh that's cute, the chameleons happy to see me? - nope, a wagging tail means it's broken.

In the same way, a chameleon that lies on the ground is not trying to be sneaky..it's trying to not die. You need to try to find out why. We can try to help you, but a vet will help you th most.

Also - a note on the contest - Brad does the first round of cuts in the photo contest. He might have cut your photo for being too small, but he might cut it again if he decides that's too blurry, badly composed or badly exposed. In essence, Brad is the first judge before the photos come to voting.

Well said Royden. If it's not the size then it has to be one of those.

The picture is back so sad

If a photo is removed before the entry deadline it is frequently because it did not meet the size/ratio requirements or there was an obvious health/husbandry concern. Photo quality is almost never a factor until after the entry deadline.
