pick-ups from Sunday's show!

[Vacado]

So, I've been debating which new BPs to get since, you know, you can't have just one! I got these two little cuties at the Lake County Reptile show in Antioch, IL, last Sunday. They are both from Jim at SW Reptile, a local WI breeder, and though I think I got a good deal on them, I'm nearly broke now

Here is the 08 female spider, which I think I'm going to call Itsy. I always told myself I'd never get a spider because of the wobbles thing, but I saw her incredibly high white sides and the yellow, I just couldn't resist. I noticed her head shaking a bit when I first brought her home and was putting her in her tub, but haven't seen it since now that she's settled down. She does move differently than the others do, which will take a while to get used to.





And here is the 08 male mojave, who is as of yet un-named. Look at his awesome blushing!!! I've seen pastels that don't have that much blushing! He said this is the nicest male mojave he produced this year, and I think he's adorable. This guy is extra laid-back.





They got to live in a ghetto enclosure for a night while I awaited their flexwatt and got some nice tubs. I spent Monday night wiring the flexwatt and drilling the tubs and making hides, and they rewarded my efforts by pooing in the exact same places in their tubs that night! I guess that means they're happy? haha!

And, here are some pictures of Penelope, my 07 pinstripe female, hanging out and being adorable! I got her from a WI breeder, but she was produced by Ben Siegel.



I love this shot, but it was right before she shed...will have to take another!





I'll post some tub pictures later, and some better photos of the babies. I snapped these real fast when I got home Sunday night and I didn't want to stress them too much. I'm so happy to have them, I could squeal It's been hard leaving them alone this week so they can settle in! I'm going to be out of town this weekend for three days, but when I get back I'm going to thaw some rats for everyone. They're all hungry now, starting to cruise for food and peeking their heads out of their hideboxes when I open the tubs. Hopefully this weekend Ill also be building my rack, which will make things easier too.
