I am going to attempt to put a picture on here that I got in an e-mail.
Hope it works!

Didn't work!!!!
Can anyone tell me how to bring a picture over here from and e-mail?

Please and Thank you!

I put it in a folder and I still can't get it. When I hit submit, nothing happens. I get the icon in the folder, the file name comes up, I hit "open', go back to photobucket and hit submit...nothing happens.

HELP! :cry2: :(

FH, there is no pictures, I tried that before and it didn't work for me either, sometimes you can right click on a picture and save it and then do the photobucket or whatever to put it on here.

Did you get anything to work FH? We got clear skies and wind this morning, we got about an inch in the last rain/snow. Had to go to a bull sale with HY brand inspecting yesterday at Melstone, it was so muddy you couldn't hardly get there but you should have seen the smiles on everybodies faces as they slogged through the mud.

First year we put ours in we actually lost a cow to it...We weren't running the palce but I remember riving in and seeing the cow trapped in the fence with the folks who ran the place's truck right next to the fence... Cow had someone gotten its leg stuck in there and fell over... The theory was that the shocks eventually gave her a heart attack, or athe panic did... I know I have been hit by the charge once or twice... Ya feel it in your chest, that much is for sure... Felt about like a cow planting it's poll into your sternum. except not quite as pleasent :shock:

Amazes me everytime I see a calf run right through the thing like it wasn't there.

The Rock python is Africa's largest snake. The rock python eats mammals and birds.

Lays up to 100 eggs about the size of a tennis ball in antbear (Aardvark) holes, hollow tree or similar suitable place. The female coils herself around the eggs to protect them.

The snake in this picture had eaten a full grown Impala ewe and, sadly, caught itself in an electric fence.

Over four metres in length, this was a large specimen.

When the python was skinned we found a full grown Impala ewe had just been swallowed.

The python kills its prey by coiling itself around the animal and constricting it. When the animal is dead the python swallows it normally head first.Having swallowed its prey, the snake will find an abandoned burrow or hollow tree in which to hide and digest its meal.

A python's bite is not poisonous but would be very painful.

Aint got didly squat to do with the snake, but I was wonderin how that electric fence works that looks like its tied to rebar? and the bottom wire is on the ground......Unless the rebar is covered with plastic or something how does that work? Don't look covered to me from that photo. I know the photo looks like the grounds awful dry, and that moisture plays a big roll in grounding an electric fence........but....???

From the other picture on snoopes you see that there are hotwires sticking offset from the fence with insulators.. Looks like the fence is actually three fences, looks like a pretty nasty set up... That is really something I wouldn't want to find, 4 meters long with a full grown impala ewe inside it... Yikes.

My daughter saw the picture and kept saying that the big snake was going to ger her... Seams like she inherited her dad's "love" of snakes... Those things give me the willies.

Yeap now I see the rest of the fence. Good grief I'd hate to know I had to string that much wire. Only consolation would be that it's slick and there's no barbs lol. I don't mind buildin fence in the least....but that's just wayyyyyy yonder too many trips back and forth strangin wire. Uhggg!!!
