February in Arlington -- BEST BP.net Gathering Ever!!

We had SUCH an awesome time at NARBC in Arlington! And I do believe it was one of the best attended BP.netter gatherings ever...at least insofar as the number of folks that managed to intentionally meet up in the same location at the same time. :P

Those who made it to lunch on Saturday:
SarahMB
ctrlfreq
MPenn (and his two adorable daughters)
cueball
muddoc (and his lovely wife)
Satanic Intention
JLC
Rapture (and her handsome boyfriend)
Laooda (and her lovely friend)

There were a few others who said they'd be there, but we never found them. :( NEXT TIME, though!! I think the NARBC show in Arlington has some awesome potential for future shows. Next year, I'll make plans to be able to stay and attend the auction and after-show festivities as well!

I took a lot of pictures, but was frustrated to see how few actually turned out really nice. Here are some of my favorites of those that did...

Some Caramel Albino boa contrictors.... YUMMY!

The "Matrix" blood python...a new co-dom morph that is FABulous!!!

The Ivory blood python...super form of the Matrix!! Is this to die for or what??

And moving on to ball pythons...A study in contrasts:

Here's Laooda with a stunning little pastel that was a ham for the camera...this isn't the one she bought though. That one was even HOTTER! :O

A KILLER Axanthic that cueball had his eyes on...you can see it here next to a more "normal" Axanthic. Unbelievably beautiful!! I would have bought it if it were even remotely possible.

This one turned out really cool...Wilbank's Black Eye Lucy

And lastly, a very sweet little Mystery Snake. It's from a het-axantic clutch without any known freaky genetics. Hope we get to see this one grow up and see if inheritable genetics are behind it or not!

Backyard Bonanza for Amber...and Alamo Cafe for us!! :D

YEA!!!! :D :yes: :clap: Come on warm weather!!!!

Wow, you got some awesome pics! Even after spending two days looking, I honestly cannot get enough of the amazing animals.
I had a great time meeting you and chatting!

Sorry I didn't get to say Bye to everyone! I had a blast, it was so fun meeting all of you.

And yes, I came home with too much stuff..

Becky.... It was great to meet you!!! I looked for you after the Gecko table.... Still love those Sat. Eyes! *droooool*

It was SO fun meeting everyone. It really felt like we'd all been friends for years, the way hung out and talked. And it was a pleasure riding part of the way with Becky and getting to see all her critters. Her rats are a hoot! And I got to hold Sonya (formerly known as Rauri) for a nice long time while Becky cleaned out her tub. What an amazing animal!!

LOL....not at all! But if my head count is right, there was one more in attendance at Arlington. And I didn't figure Adam would want his 8Ball Dinner called a BP.net gathering. :P ;)

I'll tell ya...ANYtime a bunch of BP.netters has an opportunity to gather...y'all should make the effort to do so. It's a total blast!!

Sounds like you guys had a real blast. I look forward to attending this show after I move to Texas (2 years hopefully..)

Well, in essence, it evolved into a BP.net gathering! ;)

Yup, I had a blast with all the people I got to meet from the site in Daytona and it looks like this year there will be even more to meet!

Great, now I'm going into Daytona withdrawal - thanks! :P
