My local store

Hey Mark - I live in jacksonville too ... I bought my ball at the House of Reptiles ... I now have 1 ball and two corns that I bought at the show this weekend. Did you go to the show? It was ok, pretty small. I was there between 10:30 and 12:30 pm.

Ya I was there at 10:15 and probably home by 11:30. It was pretty small but it was fun seeing everything. I mostly hung around Ben Coles table and I bought a boa from him. I enjoy snakes so any excuse I can find to go look is worth it. Now that I have a boa thats going to be on a different eating schedule than my ball I have an excuse to check out house of reptiles twice weekly now instead of once :D. I was kind of expecting to see some hots at the show this weekend so that was a little disappointing. Checking out HoR today they still got the gaboon rhino viper and cobra in there.

Im pretty sure they arent allowed to bring venomous, but there are venomous shows.
I went around 12:45, left at about 1:00

I agree they are gorgeous! I don't think I am brave enough to have one though. I had caimans (alligators) years ago and they can do some damage. Now I only have nice reptiles! :)

Those pics rule! Thanks for sharing!

Hardball, Ben Cole is an Awesome guy!


Ive known him for a while, and used to help him out clean tubs and stuff at his house in Gainesville last year, but I moved back down to South Florida.

Ben has adult Albino Monicleds in his house, along with a few EDB Rattlers.

Besides a few hots, the living room and kitchen is all baby ball racks. The back bed room is adult ball racks and visions on the other walls with boas.

Hardball, if you ever get the chance to travel a bit plan on attenting the next Repticon Show in Columbia, SC. This past show was the first one I went to and it was really good for smaller show. The show has a ton of HOTS for sale, it was there I got to see the adult gaboon for the first time, AMAZING SNAKES.

thats cool i wish my reptile shop had some venemoids (just for dispaly) i dont think anyone would really want one

if i was ever to get a hot it would be a gaboon i have loved them since i was a youngin'
