Cool pics! Thanks for sharing!
Did they happen to show you the unusually large ball python nick-named 'Mega-Beast' that Kevin got in a trade a while back? I didn't see him last time I was there.

Nope, no BPs of any kind on my tour. I was in it for the more exotic of his collection.

That's pretty sweet. Were the people nice? I've seen a couple videos and I'm not sure what to think about them. Their animals are awesome (and expensive!) though.

Hmm, how to answer. . . the folks I dealt with were professional. Jake, our host, was adorable and very sweet. I did not meet Kevin, I heard him in the hallway but didn't pursue. I did not meet any of the YouTubers.
You're from Texas, I'm from Texas, they probably score a 5 on the southern hospitality friendly meter, but a 7 on the northeasterner friendly meter, if that makes sense.

Looks like a fun visit! I really enjoyed the pics. :)
Having made many trips to Yankeeland in the past, I totally understand what you mean on the friendly meter. Good folks, just a little different from the South. :)
-
Great seeing you around, hila!!!!
Happy Anniversary!!! I told my fiance that a NERD tour is a strong contender for my wedding gift from her :D
Apparently, great minds DO think alike, hahahaha.
I'm glad you had a great time, thanks for sharing!!
And good seeing your smiling face on the forum, not enough smiles in the world these days...

I'm not even being hyperbolic - I've been married 22 years and this was one of the BEST presents I've ever had! We enjoyed ourselves so much, the collection is incredible. I interacted with species I will never be able to afford and yet found them worth every dollar. Such a treat to behold. I would campaign hard for this as your next gift! And if I lived as close as you do, heck I'd be out there every weekend just volunteering to clean cages or something.
And it's nice being back on the board for a visit - working from home has it's perks! Hope you and yours are weathering the craziness ok.

That's awesome!!!
The drive to the NERD facility isn't too bad, but still about an hour and twenty minutes. So not exactly close :( but close enough!
All is well here, so far so good(ish), hahahhaha. You and yours stay safe as well. Hope to see you around the forum.

Thank you!! That ETB blew my mind. Stunningly beautiful. The fluorescent lighting was super terrible there, so impossible to capture the true beauty of these creatures in a camera phone. But trust me, they are a sight to behold. And SOOOO sweet!! Very gentle and agreeable for an arboreal snake.

If I wasn't me, I'd hate me. I'm already kind of jealous of my last week's self. They're the pinnacle of pythons for a reason.

Re: My trip to NERD!
Wow looked a fantastic trip.
That boelan looked amazing, never held one but they have two absolutely huge ones at Chester zoo wich I've seen a couple times now and they really are outstanding that black is so glossy especially against the cream other markings
That etb looked so cool too
That would be a dream present for me too
Thanks for sharing these pics

Did you get to meet snarfles?

Re: My trip to NERD!
No! And I was super bummed!! He was either at another facility or being used for an outreach program, my host wasn’t sure.

Re: My trip to NERD!
