Would anyone here be so kind as to post up decent "Typical male" and "Typical female" images that I may provide them with please? Thankyou.

They are going to go ahead and produce a poster anyway,I am just trying to make sure that no pictures of anacondas or inaccurate info end up on the poster. Peter39612.4853009259

I think it would a good idea to ensure the photos are from an angle that people might realistically see Adders from, and with a bit of background in. 2. Ensure the Adders look non-threatening. Tony's (Armata) photos are great but look a bit "dramatic", and may send out the wrong message to the ill-informed. Regards, Tim.
