BHB Trip

What a day! Our first visit to a major snake breeder and what a visit it was. A few of us went to visit Brian at BHB today and I just can't thank him enough. He took hours out of his day to show a bunch of drooling, babbling, gasping snake fanatics around his impressive facility in Michigan.

I got to hold my personal dream ball python, the morph that first hooked me into moving beyond a pet BP owner into a person dreaming of possibilities and sharing that dream with my husband and family. Brian, I hope you read this thread. You have no idea how much that meant to me to get to hold that gorgeous Caramel Glow - to hold my dream - thank you so very much for that and for the wonderful time you gave all of us in the group.

I took some pictures but I still need to resize them and try to remember what each morph is LOL. Talk about a starstruck snake dweeb, I was so busy snapping away with my ancient old camera I never thought to note down what each picture was!

Anyways, we couldn't come home empty handed and after Brian shared some ideas with us about what we wanted in our next male morph, and after having a great selection to go through, we picked this little guy. Please meet Liam, our new Cinnamon Pastel male! Thanks Brian for taking the time to help us guide us in this purchase.

Liam still at BHB before heading home....

Some quick pictures I snapped of him before tucking him away in his warm tub. I just peeked in and he's out of his tight ball and checking out the new digs.

The worst part, Pat, is know I have to remember what each morph was....ARRRGH. I was so fixated on snapping away I didn't note them down and now I've got pictures and an overtired brain trying to remember what each one is LOL.

I'm working on it...... :rolleye2:

Congrats on your new boy Jo. I'm looking forward to the other pics as well!

I have never in my life heard a snake hiss like this one could! :O

The scaleless cornsnake (and no Pat, that is NOT my hairy arm :P). What an absolutely amazing experience it was to touch this snake. I can't even begin to describe the strange sensations of a snake with no scales but still...a pattern! Thank you so much Brian for the opportunity you gave us to interact with these lovely and rare colubrids....

The funniest experience of the day. This big female was NOT impressed with the visitors or Brian for that matter. Just after I snapped this picture she fired up about 4 feet straight up and attempted to eat Brian's face off LMAO! I of course squeeled like a true girl and froze! Brian is amazing. He just danced out of her reach and laughed. Our new nickname for Brian is now "The Mongoose". Very impressive let me tell you.

Okay that's all the pics I have done for now. More tomorrow hopefully.

Wow, Jo......just WOW! :O :gj: :D

Thanks for sharing the pics :gj:.A scaleless corn snake wow :O :cool:

AfRocks can surely hiss, Jo ;)

Looks like you had a blast. I can't wait to get up there!
