NARBC Arlington Pick Ups!

I got all of these beauties from Chris (SansCera). Chris was GREAT to do business with. I've had these guys paid for, for a few weeks now. He was in contact with me nearly every day sending me new pictures and letting me know when they ate, etc. Chris lives about 2 hours from me...too far to drive and too close to ship. So, I picked them up at the show along with a bag Mazuri food for my leftover rats, a new V-18 rack from C-Serpents (the new additions are living the life in this rack - Thanks Chris!) and a new Herpstat 2!

DISCLAIMER: These pictures were taken on my iPhone in a room with fluorescent lighting on a snake bag background...these are not great pictures! But since it's dark outside...it's all I could get. So sorry!



First up is Bane, a 1.0 2011 YB het hypo weighing in at 587g- I love this guy. He has killer flames, great color, and he has an interesting "heart" mark on him that looks more like balls...but oh well xD

Next up is Charli, a 0.1 2013 Citrus Pastel het hypo weighing in at 47g! She's super tiny but I bet she'll be growing in no time!

Next is Finnick (Charli's clutchmate) a 1.0 2013 Citrus Firefly YB het hypo weighing in at 115g. He was purchased as a "possible yellowbelly" but after some discussion with some other breeders (Brian from BHB to name one) it was determined that he's a yellowbelly. I look forward to proving this out with a yellowbelly female in the future. This guy is also FULL of poop (I can see it waiting to be released onto his clean tub) so I'm sure he won't be 115g for much longer.

Next up is Maci, a 0.1 2013 Hypo weighing in at 113g. She is going into shed in this picture so more pictures will be taken post shed. She is super awesome looking and this picture just doesn't do her justice! It was also insanely difficult to photograph her. She was tired of being in the snake bag and only wanted to go everywhere but sit still for quick pictures.

Up next is a 0.1 2013 100% het pied weighing in at 103g. She doesn't have a name yet. She's a beautiful, dark girl and I can't wait to use her in my dark morph projects as well as buying her a pied (probably a black pastel pied) boyfriend in the next couple of years.

Finally, I got a GRAVID normal that I have named Maya weighing in at 1990g. She kept trying to tag me so I elected not to try and snap pictures of her. She had her pre-lay shed right before I picked her up so she's due September 9th ish. She's a very bright normal with a neat faded head. Maybe after she settles I'll get some new pictures.

You can't say you snagged up a gravid female then NOT tell us what she was paired with!!! That's just cruel. We'll also be expecting pics of the little worms come September :) Lol awesome pickups, I'm totally in love with the little firefly. Congrats!!

Derp, blonde moment. Unless balls give live birth, no pics of worms in September lol.

:P I guess I did forget to mention that part. She was bred to a fire het hypo. I'm hoping for a fire female from her.

And yes! I'm totally in love with the firefly. He couldn't be more perfect...especially if he really is a firefly YB (extra awesome that I didn't pay 3-gene price for him!)

I'll post pictures of her clutch when they lay...however, you weren't completely wrong about posting pictures of worms in September. I've got a clutch of eggs in the incubator that will be 55 days on 9/29 so I might have baby pictures to post! Just not from this female.

Wow nice pick ups :)

Way to go! I wish I could have gone to this event!

Awesome pick ups. Thanks for sharing. :)

Thanks everyone! I'm REALLY excited for this group. Not only am I eager to see what the gravid girl gives me, but I can't wait until the babies have grown up a little bit!

Once again, Thanks Chris for all these beautiful animals!

Very nice pickups, and if I may ask just out of my wallet feeling a hitting right there, how much in all did you spend?

I bet, but all in all they're very nice animals. So you did a fantastic job. I'm hoping to find a female Enchi at the September Repticon in Baton Rouge.

I found a Desert enchi female that was KILLER! I ALMOST brought her home just to display her (pet only). I wanted to get a picture but my phone had died. She was by far the best enchi at the entire show! Such a shame she was a desert :(

I probably won't be purchasing any more snakes this season (-knock on wood-) however next season I plan on adding an enchi female or an enchi het hypo male as well as a mojave female. I'll wait to see what I hatch out to think about what would go good with my group. Once my babies are all hatched out I'm going to do a collection video of everyone and then see if people have ideas. Albino is another gene I want in my group...I just haven't bought one yet xD

Yea I'm not big on Albinos and Pieds. I'm not sure why but I just never wanted one, I mean they're very nice and all but I dunno.

I've always wanted an Albino. Ill probably get a female. I'll need a pied male in a couple of years, but I've got time to save up for a black pastel pied.

Sweet pic ups! Must have saw you there!

Congratulations all really nice pickups and a lot! I really like Maci she's a really pretty hypo and i like Finnick's lil stripe on his tail. :gj:

I love her too! Shame that she's going into shed but I think she'll look really nice as soon as she's finished! And I love little Finnick! He's a bunch of adorable.

Finnick is awesome! What a bright crazy pattern! Hopefully the YB proves out for you.

I think I remember seeing the hot Desert Enchi too - on the wall sort of near where VPI was, right?

It's probably a good thing that I don't have a need/space for any males right now. I definitely would have come home with my wallet significantly lighter. It's amazing how much better everything looks in person versus pictures online.

I think that's right, Eric. The breeder was Mike B and he was sharing a table with Royer Reptiles!

And yes, my wallet aches...but it was worth it!
