Getting Ready for Columbia Repticon
Just going through the racks picking out which snakes to bring to the Repticon show this weekend in Columbia, South Carolina, so I thought I would take a few pictures.
First up is a really cool 2014 male Calico

Next up is a 2014 male Lesser Spotnose

I really like this 2013 male Mystic Cinnamon

My favorite 2 gene combination that I produced this season, a 2014 female Orangebelly Mojave

Here is a "normal" 2012 male Orangebelly and just to show how weird the color change that 2 other Orangebellies have gone through, he is pictured here with the color changing 2013 female Orangebelly, "Weirdet"

These are 2 good looking proven breeder males, a 2009 Pastel Hypo possible het Pied and a 2011 Fire (who sired the 3 Congo Fires the last 2 seasons)

And I'll wrap up these pictures with a 2013 male Graphite Ivory who is just getting is Graphite markings to really come in and a 2014 male Super Mystic.

Hope you enjoyed looking at these snakes, it came on a much needed break from organizing and cleaning.

The Lesser Spotnose is really sharp. I went to the Columbia show last Summer and one guy had a pair of Leopard Copperheads that were just stunning. Hope you have a good show.

Thanks. That combination came out well. I like how the Spotnose brings pattern back in.

And I have a little money in my pockets, This can't be good. O well let the fun began.:D:D I'll see if I can leave the show with just one new snake.
Good luck with that limit. It'll be tough to hold to. Look forward to meeting you.

I guess I will know for sure in about two years if they prove out.:) Now if I can just stay away from the show tomorrow. O yes I almost forgot, I enjoyed meeting you guys from slow country ball pythons. You have some great ball pythons, your table looked great as well.
Thanks. It was nice meeting you too. Good luck with new project.
Here is our whole set up on the first day

Chris it was great meeting you, your selection of BP's was one of the best at the show and I'm loving the Orange Belly Mojave girl I took home!
:gj:
Thanks Jeff! I enjoyed meeting you too and talking about some of the projects you are planning. I hope she does well for you, the Orangebelly Mojave is far and away my favorite 2 gene combination. It was exciting hatching them out this past season and I am glad she has gone to someone who will really enjoy her.

If I take the time to ask you a few questions about a reptile you have. I'am pretty much committed to buying it. These guys then wounder why they can't sell anything. However like I said you guys were great. If I were looking for another BP I would have bought one from you guys. I'll see you in July.:)

It was kind of funny when I met Chris, I walked up to his table without looking up at the banner and he came right around the table and started talking to me about what I owned. It caught me off guard enough that I couldn't remember some of the snakes I had! LOL Then a few minutes into the conversation I looked up and laughed and said hey we've talked about Super Mystics before via email and he said oh your Jeff! LOL
Thanks guys. I just try to show off the snakes the way that I see them. I have had a lot of fun hatching out some really great animals and want to help others to do that. I would rather help you guys pick out animals that you'll be excited about and really enjoy, then just sell some snakes. I want to help others figure out what would fit well into their collection and their future projects so that they can have the same fun and excitement I have experienced.
