## Guide to Uploading Photos

This site is intended to be a central visual guide to hognose morph identification. To keep things organized, please review and adhere to the following community guidelines when uploading or submitting a photo to HognoseWiki. If you have any further questions, try contacting an admin.

**Images that violate the community guidelines may be edited or removed.**

## Photo Content Guidelines

1. **Photos must be clear, representative, and true to life.**

* The snake must be the sole focus of the image; plain or simple backgrounds work best. Hands are fine, but don’t include your face/kids/entire vivarium setup with little Hoggy Jr. in the corner.
* No blurry images; we aren’t all professionals, but don’t submit photos taken with a potato.
* No Instagram filters, saturation boost, etc.;  photos should reflect the true colors of the snake.
* Ventral/head stamp/eye/etc. photos are welcomed!

2. **Only upload images which you have permission to post.**

3. **Limit the number of baby/juvenile animal photos you upload.**

* Baby pics are easy to find; adult photos add value to this guide
* As a rule of thumb, 1-3 adult photos should be uploaded for every one baby photo.
* An adult is a fully grown hognose. Most hognoses are fully grown after approximately 3 years.

4. **Photos must have a caption.**

* Caption your photo with the snake’s visual morph (phenotype)
* Breeders are encouraged to credit themselves for producing the animal shown!
* Do not include someone else's name or business name in a caption unless you have their permission
