went to the iowa show today in Des Moines and had a blast. saw a bunch of cool animals and got to hold a blue tongued skink which was kinda neat. saw some members from here at the show which was a first lol. i went looking for a mojave female and made probably 10 laps around the place looking at everything but i only saw 1 throughout the whole thing i was there for, and she was just outta my price range with everything else i was getting. but here are pics of everything we picked up.

this is my pastel female, Rosalba. she's a 2010 girl and weighs in at 425g. she's a little skittish for a minute but then gets to moving all over the place and didnt wanna really stay still for pics.







i got this female Hypo boa, Castrina, weighing in at 91g, from SW reptiles. i've been wanting to get a boa for a little bit now but didnt plan on getting one so soon but she was pretty cheap and i just fell in love with her so i had to have her. as you can imaging she was pretty wiggly too but i got a few snaps.








my roommate got this male pastel 100% het vpi axanthic, Paxley, weighing in at 819g, also from SW Reptiles.










i also picked up the start of a rat colony of 1.3. i got a seperate cage for each female so that i can space out the births a little and not end up with a bunch of rats all one size.

thnx for looking.
