Puyallup reptile show

I went to the Puyallup reptile show today got some good deals at least for what I was looking for.
Got a pewter male young a proof en pastel male and a black pastel male all for under 300 I think I did well:)

Yep, I went as well and although I wasn't able to get anything alive (no caging or room ATM), I did pick up something:

Had a Blast there as well Loved some of the morphs at the Show. Got some great deals and learned how to Probe found out Dezzie my rescue is actually a Dezmond :O But had a blast none the less

Yes it was good lost out on a pied because he couldn't except cards that sucked so bad.
But I did get some just not what I wanted most a pied.
There just are not enough big shows in this area.

This was actually my first expo so I didn't go with that much money to buy anything :/ Now I know that the next show I go I will bringing my entire bank account! Although I didn't get to leave with the snake I had hoped for (Albino Red Tail Boa, Brazilian Rainbow Boa, or Super pastel) I did get to walk out with a awesome Red tail boa from Brandon winters (Winters Reptiles)http://iherp.com/Gallery/98608/11421...locYVLhlbj.jpg

How do you tell if she is a BCI or BCC???
I don't really understand the difference..

Pretty little one, there. :) Can't help you on the ID, as I still haven't learned that myself.

Why didn't you get a BRB?? Paradise Rainbows had some really nice little ones.

The pictures don't do her justice! Crappy phone pics :[ haha

I know BRB need high humidity and at the moment I only have screen tanks (I hate them and cant wait to get some racks/Boaphile enclosures) and I am always have trouble with humidity because of them.
So hopefully by the next show I will have some better and more suitable living spaces for the multiple snakes I plan on picking up!

Well I missed out on the pied in the show but I just put a down payment on an adult pied male with a great pattern for 800 I am so thrilled.
I cant wait to pick him up.:banana:

Be sure to share pictures once you get him! I want a pied super bad but don't have the money for one at the moment :[

I was there Sunday and i dont keep BRB's but i have always wanted to and i got to talking to a breeder. he said that it is bull****, they dont actually need that much humidity. He said just ut them on newspaper in a tub, and he never mists. he said just keep a water bowl that they can get their whole body into and you are set. i thought this was interesting as i thought they werent easy to keep. Was also told that they were aggresive, and the guy was like not at all. Well, my mom wanted to see me get bit so i asked if i could hold one. It was GORGEOUS!!! Very doscile. I am just saying, BRB's, as well as Boa Constrictors (held an albino) may be on my list. DUH DUH DUH.........

How is that?

:) BRBs do need slightly higher humidity than BPs, but not so much that it's hard to keep them. The breeder I spoke to recommended having a humid hide (a box with slightly damp moss or other similar substrate) in the cage. Just mist the substrate in there and you're good to go. Otherwise, space and temp wise they are quite easy to keep. And they can be feisty as babies but tend to mellow out with age, like corns. :)

As for screen cages... do you mean screen top or ALL screen? If just a screen top, you can use the foil treatment to keep humidity up. Especially up here in the NW. :D

Just screen tops. Right now I keep damp rags on all of mine so i do not really have a terrible time keeping it up but I know it could be easier. but I am looking into getting a snake rack (or building one) and getting boaphile enclousers for my boas...

I held a few of them at the show as did my boyfriend and I believe he is going to to be getting one within the next few weeks as his first snake and if he doesn't then I know I will. Does anyone actually know how I can contact Paradise Rainbow? or if anyone knows the name of the man who was selling wooden enclousers and BRBs..

Idk, but the guy said that the box of moss was unnecessary. Just a good sized bowl to soak it in
