Texas Herps

Haven't heard much from anyone from Texas? What's up?

I am just trying to find a local group of people that are into Ball pythons like me. So far I have not really seen anyone from North Texas on any threads.

North Texas Wussup! Aka Flower mound...

Not in N.Texas but I am in San Antonio.

I'm in the Denton area. I know it's a ways off but either of you going to the NARBC this Feb. I plan on snagging some new pic ups there.

I wish I was going! But I tend to.stay pretty local usually only going to the Live Oak expo.

Garland/Mesquite! I would imagine we'll be at NARBC; we haven't missed a show in Arlington yet!

Ya I have been to the last two lone star expos and the last NARBC.

Well if you cone to the one in Nov. Let me know :)

Will do.

I used to live in Denton but I moved back home a few years ago. Now I live about 45 min from San Antonio.

Did u like Denton?

Yeah it was alright. I liked having stuff to do but I hated the traffic. I still come up there once or twice a year for a week or so to visit a friend.

Checkin in from Burleson! Just south of Ft. Worth. Can't wait for NARBC in Feb to meet the guys from BHB and maybe pick up an autographed shirt.

And stephenville here!

Cleburne checking in.
I don't own a BP yet, but am fixing to start with my first soon.

Plano, here! I've lived in Denton (went to UNT), Lewisville and Far North Dallas in the past.
I wish we had decent reptile shop around. I go to the Lone Star and Repticon in Ennis...but not too much lately bc I'm feeling like we are at max capacity for the moment. My daughter is begging a crestie though...

Ya I wont be getting any more pick ups until the first of the year because of that same reason I have to finish the reptile room in my garage.

What kind of carpet are you looking to buy? How is repticon I only go to the lonestar expo and NARBC? I do most of my purchases online.

I have been to some really cool expo in okc but I can't remember the names. I also go to lonestar and narbc. I recently got my blood het alb at lonestar. I've never been to repticon but I'm very excited about the one in ennis. They're going to have venomous area Feb 1,2
any kind except coastal

I currently have one harris line female bredli that I purchased from Nick Mutton and I just bought an Afors line Male for her. I wont get him for a while due to the holidays. I really like the bredli they have an awesome attitude. Really fun to watch. I would really like to purchase some inlands but got to save a little scratch.

I need to get some updated pictures of her.

Super nice I can't wait to get one

Do you keep her in rack?

She is in a deep tub I modified with purches and screen for a heat lamp. Pretty simple and cheap for a grow out enclosure until she is big enough to go into her permanent Animal Plastics cage.

cool I used cserpant racks. Do you not like flex watt?

- - - Updated - - -

how did you make screen to fix the plastic tub thats pretty cool

I like flex watt that is what is running my rack systems. However I am in the process of switching all of my larger enclosures to radiant heat panels. I can take some picks of that deep tub I modified when I get home so that you can see how I did it.

Sweet I look forward to seeing that.

Do you used fish n chirp or big cheese for food? I go to big cheese but guy name chris at fish n chirp is selling few tree pythons and boas $100

Ya I am pretty tight with Chris. I use fish n chirps for my live feders. I have used big cheese before but usually I get my frozen from pet snake snacks at the lonestar expo.

Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I337 using Tapatalk 2

pet snack is a lot higher than big cheese.

Not if its being shipped I work to many hours during the week to pick them up. I guess one time I called them for about a month and big cheese didnt have rats at all and it kinda put me off a little.

Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I337 using Tapatalk 2

big cheese sell all mice and rats both ft and live and also rabbits and chicks. Everytime I call pet snack the never answer but there prices are higher ( i get 30 rat pups for 14 vs $30 for 25 rat pups from pet snacks

I know they sell both they didnt have any rats for a month so I went elsewhere. I got to know the guy who owns pet snake snacks and he gives me discounts.

That's sweet I'll have to give them rang again

How many Bloods do you have? I was debating for a long time on getting some black bloods just havent pulled the trigger. They look amazing!

Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I337 using Tapatalk 2

I just have one blood het alb but getting another most likely at the big expo. I bought black blood at lonestar but had to return for exchange because he had RTI. Watch what you buy from s&s exotic

Ya I havent heard to many good things about them. I am pretty snobby about who I buy from for that reason. I really cant afford to take the chance on bringing something like that into my collection. What type of Albino is yours het for T+ or T-? I think the T- are absolutely insane when they are adults. I have seen some T+ that are pretty sick too though.

Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I337 using Tapatalk 2

T- .. I've never seen t+ but maybe in February.. Yea man They screwed me on balll python selling me the wrong morph. I didn't have much knowledge at the time. The owner is rude and not very helpful. I'm still thinking about getting adult red tail that about 6ft for 200.

I'm going to pm you good boa guy

I have a sub adult T+ Central American BCI. He is awesome his name is Tito. He has a bit of an attitude when in shed. He was a monster when he was a neonate, but with some handling he melowed out. He is just a pet, I have no intention of breeding him.

Just wondering what you would get?
