And I actually like this conversion kit. I'm sure there is some sort of catch like its a pain to install or leakage problems or something but I like it. One reason is our wine cellar is my tank grave yard and something like this could make some of my old tanks worth using again.

Also there were so many pics which is good I'm not going to comment on much except to say I really like the pastel scaleless I would love to buy that CG YB black head but not for $2000 which may be fair but I'm out on that. I don't know why I don't see Mojave clowns more. And is that black pastel ghost pied a paradox or not? But yeah good job taylor and thanks for uploading all the pics.

C) A scaleless corn might be in my future...okeetee looks awesome with that combination
D) A male banana leopard pin for $375?!? What a steal!!!
E) T- Colombian Rainbow Boas...ohmagawd!

Side note: I never got ahold of AP so I decided against coming down but what Im going to do is order my cage for the fall and pick it up down there then.

I second that comment, amazzzing pictures!! So many paint jobs it is freakin crazy! I also love those T- Colombian Rainbow Boas and as well as the Cow pos Tiger retic, very beautiful. Maybe one day (in my dreams)...LOL

tttaylorrr, how much were some of the scaleless BP's?

I have no room and I am sure they are out of my budget at the moment, but I am curious.

Also, were there many? Or just a few?

Love the pics and some amazing animals there. I still want a scaleless corn, but not sure it will happen.

Did you get to hold a scaleless snake?

Thank you for the pictures! Sounds like you had a great time!

Thanks for sharing, Taylor!!

There were a few that stood out to me, especially the pastel, YB, gravel pied. Droool.....

Loved the cow retic and the T- CRB too.

Noticed hognose were missing from the photo dump...curious...

Looks like you had a great time!!

that pastel scaleless was aweosome...like, the real definition of the word awesome.

i thought those Mojave Clowns were amazing!!! those were the most beautiful Clowns i've ever seen!

i didn't ask the vendor but i'm assuming she was a Paradox BP Ghost Pied.

none were marked that i saw...all NFS or you better flash some serious skrilla. i think there were 3 this year; last October there were maybe 5 or 6. when i went in Oct, IIRC there were like 2 or 3 marked for sale, they were around $50K possibly more.

no, i didn't ask! ): the vendor that had them was in the back corner of the convention hall, and it's always a NIGHTMARE back there; human traffic jam, shoulder to shoulder (i complained about it in my past threads lol). i was having a lot of anxiety and didn't want to hold such a lil worm. :tears:

there were exactly 3 hognose! and they were Eastern! they were really cool; diamond-shaped heads, and very dark coloring. i forgot to take their picture because they were in the back corner that turns into a human traffic jam.
