Iowa Expo Pictures! And a pick up!!!

I was so excited for this show! I know Iowa doesn't have a great/big show, but it was still a blast! I only took BP pictures sorry if you wanted to see anything else!

I took pictures of the business cards so I would know who they came from

Mystic Potion next to a Mystic. This Mystic was INSANE! Before I was able to speak with Anthony I thought he just had some really crappy mojaves, but he told me they were mystics, this Mystic had bright yellow that just popped like crazy!

Some of John's collection

John (jpman78) was talking to me about this fellow. He's a pastel axanthic and he's got something really funky going on! He looks sort of paradox with all the spots! He's awesome!

I really like his pewter too! The yellow is neat!

And I just realized I didn't get pictures of Steve's (norse79) table :oops: He was selling out pretty quick by the time I was taking pictures. I did pick up a spider from him though!
http://i157.photobucket.com/albums/t...Isis/038-2.jpg

He's a cutie :P
http://i157.photobucket.com/albums/t...a/Isis/043.jpg

He's shy

Just some neat shots. My lighting is crap for macro shots.

I'm so excited! :banana:

Thanks for posting those, great pics.. I hope you had a great time. I was going to be there myself but I had to work today. I think this is the first time I've missed in 3 years. I hope they firm up the dates for the show they're supposed to be having next spring, I want to make sure I've got the time off.

Oh dang it! I think you're right! Gosh darn 10 minute edit rule.....

Thank you! There were several spiders at the show and I was so happy to see that Steve had a really nice looking one! My pastel and one of my females came from Steve as well! I'm happy with him! He only has two small spots on him! I really liked his busy spider pattern.

Great pictures !

But the "Stripe" at McCain table is a Super Stripe not a Genetic Stripe. It's not the same.

Yay! Thank you Dr. Del!!!!

I heart Dr. Del! :love:

LOL, Ya that actually is one of my Super Stripes!

It was really nice talking with you young ladies today! Thanks for taking the time for a few cool pics of my favorite hatchlings from 2009 too! Stop by next year and maybe I'll have something else cool to show you ladies!

I had a great time overall today talking Ball Pythons with alot of folks and also thought Jim and Nancy from Sw Reptiles did a really good job for their first time running the Iowa Herp Sale!

Also wanted to thank Andrew and Sarah Gilpin for taking the time to professionally photograph some of my little critters as well ! Andrew really knows his stuff when it comes to taking awesome pics and I look forward to seeing how those shots taken today turn out!

Sweet thank you! I love that one too!

Hey that's Ball Pythons for you, easy enough to do that nowadays with all the morphs out there now! I actually wish I would have set out my Genetic Stripes for her to shoot as well, the couple of G Stripes I had there today are about as nice as they come!

See you gals next year!

Thanks again!

Anthony

Andrew is a really cool guy and definitely knows his stuff when it comes to reptile photography. He has some gecko pics that are phenomenal. He is giving a talk Saturday November 21st at Des Moines, the Merle Hay Library (I think) on Reptile photography.

Good chatting with you today Anthony, excellent ball pythons.

:rofl: I knew you would eventually give me crap for that!!! I'm not a fan of BBQ sauce and I didn't know if they would have it slathered all over the meat. I like to taste my meat :P The smoked salmon salad was yummy though! My sister doesn't care for BBQ sauce either which is why she ordered chicken! After you've eaten smoked stuff my dad makes you'd never want BBQ sauce again. We didn't to rain on your parade :D
