    Tinley Park pickups!! 2 gorgeous girls...
    Introducing 2 lovely ladies I picked up at Tinley! There were so many gorgeous animals there - I don't know how we can go in and just choose one or two! But these 2 girls spoke to me in the right way and here we are.

    First up is Pandora. She is a sunglow arabesque and nearly patternless! She looks like a stretched out string of bubblegum, lol. Such a tiny little worm! I got her from Tim of Special K Reptiles (he knows just what I like, lol). She is a total sweetheart - very curious but calm and gentle. Love the pink marble eyes....

    Next is Roslin, a 2010 female Argentine motley 100% het T+. She will be a girlfriend for Mojo one day. Her pattern is very dark and clean and she has purple irridescence. I picked her up from Reptiles by Mack. Mack produced the first ever Argentine motley T+ and Roslin is a granddaughter of that matriarch. Hopefully one day I'll be producing my own T+ motleys!

    Incidentally, Roslin is a "typical" Argentine. When I unboxed her in our hotel room to move her to a more comfortable travel tub, she rose 2/3's out of the container and S-coiled mid-air and did a WONderful impersonation of a king cobra!! :O Needless to say, I bought a snake hook the next morning...... :D

    Hope you all enjoy!! Tinley was a blast and I can't wait for next year!!

    They're both gorgeous. I just picked up a female Argentine. No problems with an attitude yet. Then again, she's 4 foot and 2 years old.

    Many thanks! Roslin is also 2 years old and about 4ft! :gj: Argentines are usually just big bluffers. They'll huff and puff and try to blow your house down, but I've never been bitten or even struck at. Despite her fantastic "I'm a cobra and I'm going to nail you if you try to touch me" attitude last night, she never actually struck at me. And she's been a big marshmallow ever since - she was just PO'd that I tried to move her. Women..... :P

    Wow, beautiful pick ups, seeing all of the great pick-ups and pics, I think that I may have to go to the show next year (if I can keep it a secret from the wife and hide a few snakes for a couple of months :)

    Voices in her head chant....."boaslaw, boaslaw"......

    I want more boas, seeing this only drives further home the NEED, not want, for a sunglow.......:D

    Hmmm.....I'm hearing voices telling me I need a boa....... How can voices in my head possibly lead me astray?!

    Glad you finally got your het Argie Evenstar! We'll have to share pics of our T positive babies when our pairs start getting to work :gj:

    Thanks everyone!!

    @Cody - You can have your pic of my future sunglows! They might just be het for moonglow too depending on the male I pick for her! :D

    @Daybreaker - I'm so excited! I really didn't expect to find one at Tinley. I was going to put this project on hold until next year, but lo and behold, there she was! Got her for a SONG too! We'll definitley be comparing pics! Incidentally, if things work out, we might even have to look at a trade between a baby or two and swap bloodlines. Something to think about anyhow. :gj:


    Boaslaw... boaslaw... boaslaw... The voices are multiplying.......... :D:D:D

    Re: Tinley Park pickups!! 2 gorgeous girls...
    I'm envious!! I am dying to get a boa. Colombian male, normal would be just fine. I hear the "get a boa" voices too, but a louder one from my wife that says "NO" seems to drown the ones in my head out. I love your pickups. We had a reptile expo here in the Twin Cities in Sept. I watched people walking out with all their new pickups and it seemed like X-mas.

    No Santa for me however. I do have the kids trying to sway Mom's opinion, and I think there is hope maybe.

    Until then I'll vicariously through everybody else with a boa.

    Nice snakes!

    I like the Argentine the best! I'm a locale person when it comes to boas but the color and pattern on the first is truly amazing :D
