My Daytona Pics

My turn!

First, let me start off by saying it was truely an honor to meet each and every one of you that I met this weekend. I will for sure be back next year to see everyone again, and hopefully I will get to meet some other people that were not able to make it this year.

I'm a little disappointed with the amount of pictures I got. I have capacity for about 500 pictures, and managed to snap less than 50. I was just in amazement at some of the creatures I was looking at..i guess i just forgot to take the pictures :confuzd: So, with about 30 minutes till the show closed, i went crazy taking pictures.

This place was packed....i had to take 3 pictures just to get the whole view:

I bought Kevin McCurley's "The Complete Ball Python" book and had him sign it as well. (Thanks Judy for the recommendation...)
The show ended at 5, and everyone met at the Hilton for dinner at 6:30. During that hour and a half I had to wait around, I cracked the book and started reading...I almost cancelled dinner because I was so into this book....no i'm just kidding....but really, it is a great book..and I do recommend it to all:

Yes, give up the names with those faces!!! :)

Names to the faces, I wanna know who the skeletal remains belong to? :)

Nice pics. You are the luckiest man ever you saw a leucistic hatching and held an all black ball python :cool:. And just wondering did you get anything?

awesome pictures Nate. the Rhino ig and the melanistic ball are my two favorite.

i know who atleast one of those people are! the lady sitting on the right in the first chair is Judy and i think they guy sitting next to her might be Adam? im probably wrong about Adam but i know thats Judy!

Awesome pics! Great to see that you guys had a good time! I recognize Judy, Adam, Jamie, Ken and his fiance. If I'm mistaken, my apologies. :D

:O for once in my life i am left speechless.
