White Monocled Cobra


Albino Cobra

Black Mamba (don't why picture came out this big)

Pfeiffer's Flamboyant Cuttlefish

The pixels are way too big - click on the photo (I don't know how to do it with a pc) and you'll see the pixels listed at the top as 1,920 x 1,080. They should be more like width=900 height=450 to fit the answer space.

I used to be able to fix that by doing this -

but in the last few weeks that has stopped working for me.

Maybe wherever you had the photo placed (photobucket, etc.) there is a way to downsize it. Or, if you picked it from google images, look for a mamba with smaller pixels..



edit - Hah, it worked!!

To see how I did it, go to the bottom of the page and click on Blog. That's were Craven wrote up a lot of how-to stuff. This how-to is in the Sept 2008 blog, about 1/2 way down the page, a paragraph about bbc code.

I'll see if I can break that down so it shows how I did it -

I had to use the word bracket instead of [ or ] to keep it from just showing a blank space.

Snood, The cobras are beauties. The cuttlefish is a doozy. Thanks. Are you sure that's a black mamba? Why do I wonder? Black mambas ain't black, and they don't have any orange on them.

Ooh, don't know Roberta - I just got it off of a 'google images' page after typing in 'black mamba'.

look for google images less than 1000 pixels wide..

(trust me)

google images list the pixels.

10-4. Thx

You're welcome.

Most people roll eyes and shut down when I try to explain all this and I'm no internet savant, plus I use an old mac so some ordinary talk like "click" can be different- they may be right that I don't explain it well.
Since most here use PCs, and I haven't used one since 2005, I mostly shut up.

But once you learn how to deal with pixels and photos, it's usually simple enough.

On the Img thing, it matters re the spacing. Follow what Craven/Robert said in that early a2k blog exactly re spacing. Similar to my example.

Harpy eagle:

It looks like it is goanna eat a nose...is it a true lizard or a skink ?

Ionus, A skink is a lizard.

Baby chipmunk:

Baby bears

Actually in the lizard sub-order there are super-families of Skinks, Geckos, Iguanas and two of true lizards...thus the question...I was genuinely curious and there wasn't a ref so I had to bother you with it .

oh!
