Daytona 2013 Pickups!

Had a blast at the Daytona show this year! met a lot of great people and added some awesome little critters to our growing collection. This was our second year going, and the show was the weekend of mine and my younger brother's birthday (August 17th and 19th). I can't think of any other way I'd rather spend my birthday than with family at the beach and checking out some of the coolest reptiles on the planet. If you haven't been to the Daytona show, it should definitely be on your bucket list. :P now if I can just make it to Tinley.. lol here's what we came home with this year:

I picked up a fire female and an orange dream male from John Woolard. He was an absolute pleasure to do business with, and I have nothing but good things to say about him. I'm sure we'll be returning to him for future purchases.

My dad picked up a female leopard and a female clown. All of our snakes will be in the same breeding program.

The female leopard we picked up from Jonathan at the Breeder's Circle. We got a couple snakes from him last year at Daytona too. He's a real cool guy and fun to talk to, hence our repeat business with him.

The clown female we picked up from Sean Bradley at Exotics by Nature. She's from his super reduced line of clowns. If you haven't seen those things yet, you need to check em out. They're SICK.

I love the pattern on her neck right behind her head.

These are a couple clowns from the same line that Tom Harbin picked up from Sean. Probably the sickest clowns I've ever seen. Selective breeding is a beautiful thing.

And this leachie my dad got little bro for his birthday. These things have got to be the coolest geckos out there. Geckos are really startin to grow on me. lol

That clown looks great! I am trying to decide if she is really tiny, or if you have giant hands.

she's really tiny. lol when we picked her up she had only had one meal, but she just took her second today on her first day here after a long show and a 10 hour drive home! hopefully thats a good sign she'll be a monster eater. lol

1. You need to do a full collection update thread with your new camera.

2. Your dad has amazing taste, the leopard is sweet and the clown is AMAZING!

3. Happy birthday, sounds like a fun way to spend it!!!

Dude. Super freaking jealous. I love love love that clown. She's amazing. Bout time you got pics up...;)

Nice pick ups. Woolard hands down had the some of the best animals at the show. His OD had the best patterns and color.

tapatalk was being a PAIN today. uploading pics through tapatalk is so sketchy. i swear it doesn't work for me like half the time. i have to keep trying to upload one pic like 4 times before it'll work.

Those are some sick pickups. I like the clown and OD especially.

Its not just you dude. I updated to the newer version of tapatalk and haven't really been able to upload pics at all. The old tapatalk wasn't like this. I hate change!

I'm blaming Kodieh bc i'm pretty sure he was the one who suggested upgrading

Yeah I've also been having trouble with posting pics off my phone.

That clown is ridiculous!!

Whoo! Now I'm glad I didn't upgrade! I hate change a LOT lol.


Ooooo super orange dream clowns might be SICKNESS. I thought I really liked OD, but I looked up all the combos and it seems like I only really like the spider combos so far :/ Clown might be cool though.
