Tim W.'s Awesome Collection!

Hi,

Tonight I visited Tim W., a relatively unknown man in the reptile industry, who has an awesome collection of herps and birds. When we entered his backyard, I guessed what the large outdoor enclosure was for AND what species called it home.

This was a beautiful albino boa. After dark + infrequently handled + no food for a few weeks = BITE!

First boa bite, baby!

Also had a couple of milks

Many snakes and other animals aren't photographed. Poison Dart Frogs, two Gila Monsters, several other frog species, and more Leaky Anus. Also a few more Emeralds and Chondros, and a breeding pair of Chondros, the female being a deep blue. A few Ball Pythons and other boas were also in the room.

Special thanks to Tim and Dianne W!

Hope you enjoy,
Matt
