this wasn't the droid i was looking for..

i went to the seattle show today, intent on getting a new boa constrictor, struck out. i accepted i was going home snakeless, and i saw her out of the corner of my eye...http://i1016.photobucket.com/albums/...ps7aff151a.jpg[/URL]

SO jealous right now. Congrats!

sweet pickup!

Yes they were very limited on boas =(
It seems like the expos have less and less every year
Great pick up though

Congrats on the new snake! I picked up a female Dumeril's Boa at the Las Vegas show today.

Cool!

I'd say name her...

Angolina (a spin on Angola and Angelina) haha

Oh my gushyness! She is gorgeous. I'm so glad these angies are geting more popular, I really want one someday.





i think Erised is a cool name. It's desire backwards (::please::please:) and stealed from harry potter.

Lol I'm pretty sure I was sitting right next to you at some point. I really liked her head pattern, she's awesome.

you very well may have been, i was kinda all over the place, first almost pouting, then showing her off to anybody that looked, and unintentionally freaking out an older lady (which was kinda funny actually)

I saw someone during the outdoor live animal presentation with an angolan mostly covered by a zoomed bag for shade, was that you? lol

yeah that was me, and that presentation pissed me off, lol

Very cool pickup! Congrats - you won't be sorry! I recently got a young pair myself and they have rapidly become one of my favorite species! :gj:

We left after the little girl was holding the alligator/crocodile (I wasn't paying attention). What else happened after we left? I was there for the 'is this the turtle's head, or tail?' and 'is this lizard a snake with no legs?'

outside the "turtles don't have teeth crack" i am strongly against removing venom glands. and they were very blunt in saying that they do it to all their hots. he was walking around with an eastern diamond back wrapped around his neck like it was a boa, shoving his face in front of the tub to get it to rattle.

Why, she looks remarkably like a ball python! No offense intended, but she does.

Angolan huh? I'm going to have to look into these a little more, this girl really intrigues me. I don't know as I've ever seen one before.

We didn't stay for the show. Wasn't really interested. Got there early, did several sweeps and made sure to check everything out several times then dipped out by 12:30

Angolans do resemble ball pythons a lot in shape and pattern sort of. They get bigger though, and are so cool!

Good thing I didnt go to the expo.... I cant be coming home with any more snakes right now! But man I wish I had gone! I love angolans very cool! Congrats!
