Even though the Raleigh show this weekend was smaller than usual, I had a great time. I made it home with 1 new snake, 3 Boaphile 421's, and 1 massive hangover (thanks to Limey). Two of the snakes on my wish list were there. An Angolan python and an Argentine boa. While I may have held and interacted with the Angolan, I bonded with the Argentine, who let me rub the top of his head for almost 30 minutes while I held him. I think he went to sleep. My decision was made and I brought home a 3 year old Argentine Boa Constrictor Occidentalis (BCO), and named him Chaiten.
The obligatory mustache and goatee shot...
