Put the F.I.R.E out!

Hope you all enjoy the post, took a long time to do...and sorry for some of the glares, its really hard to take pics of animals behind clear plastic and there be lights in just about every angle.

So this weekend was an nice way to spend my Saturday. Went to the show with nathanledet and his awesome g/f, where I got the honors of meeting Alice, who had an amazing collection and was great to talk to.

This was my first herp show. Daytona was gonna be my first but Nate invited me to go with him, which I am glad I did. Some of the snakes out there are crazy. The pics are listed in categories to make it a lot easier to know what your looking at, the name of the morp is also in the link itself at the end. There are also some random pics in there as well. Enjoy the pics and glad I got a chance to meet you guys!

Let's start off with the most expensive snake there, that had a price tag of $65,000.

This is probably the best looking spider I have seen, and of course, it's Alice's:

Here is an Axanthic and an Axanthetic Pastel:

Story time! Guess who was there, who isn't doing so hot in this industry? Anyone? Yup, you got it, Big Daddy Wholesale, and guess who was usually in an argument with someone every time you looked over at their stand? Yup, you got it, Big Daddy 'Ol:

Here some Bearded Dragons who I assume were trying to get warm as they didn't have any kind of heat source in their bucket, poor things, but they still look cute:

And here's Dusty!! (Who had a really nice amount of cash on him :8: )

Honey Bee, First time I have seen this morph:

Some Ivory's:

Ok, here are some morphs I have never heard of, and apparently this guy is the only one with them, they all have really weird names and don't look all that impressive to me, but I'll you all be the judge of that. I will post the snake, and then you can have a sec to guess what it is, the link that follows it is how it was labeled, good luck, enjoy the laughs, I think the names are a riot:

http://smg.photobucket.com/albums/v7...htningball.jpg
And the name: http://smg.photobucket.com/albums/v7...tningball2.jpg

http://smg.photobucket.com/albums/v7...hunderball.jpg
And the name: http://smg.photobucket.com/albums/v7...underball2.jpg

http://smg.photobucket.com/albums/v7...derpastel2.jpg
And the name: http://smg.photobucket.com/albums/v7...derpastel3.jpg

Up next is probably the coolest Ball Python poster I have seen, some work warning may be needed on the link, there is however nothing that makes it rated above PG:

Male clown:

New morph I have never heard of, Sterling Pastel:

Super Stripe:

This is a really cool one, Tiger Pied:

Great Pictures!! Myself and my family went to the expo today I was so mad at myself I got halfway there (we live 1h45m from Orlando) and realized I had left my camera at home.

Nice pictures!!! Looks like it was a pretty good show. Seeing all of those just makes me want Daytona to get here faster! :D I can't wait for that. All I've been to are the small little shows they have here in OK.

That honeybee is pretty hott!! Nice pied there too.

nice pics cant wait will be there tomorrow..good to know my favorite snake (honeybee) is there

Thank you for putting that post together, well worth it. I got a blast out of it! :)

Thanks.

WOW! Great post! That axanthic/pastel is really neat! :D

I feel I have learned a little more about morphs! :D


But, can anyone tell me what makes the "thunder" or the "lightning"??:confused:

I have a WC Female that has very similar blushing and contrast to the
'thunder ball'.

Thanks for all the positive comments everyone, glad you enjoyed the post. I ran out of batteries on this small show, Daytona is gonna take me forever to post lol.

THe thunder morph I beleive is a co-dom. The lightning is the super form. I've seen ads and pics from the people with them for a while. They are pretty proud of them, and I beleive that the Lightning gets lighter the older they get.
Sweet pictures and very well organized. Thanks!

Very nice topic !!
Some scary low prices on some in comparison to europe, good to know!

Is the piebald albino a HC or lavender albino?

that tiger pied is amazing...........i would die for that!

Nice pics man! It was awesome to meet you and i'm glad you came along. :)

Being my first show...it was awesome!!!

Would like to thank Jon, Alice, Chad and Don for making the experience memorable and educational!! Learned a lot...now gotta start making some more money :D

Thanks for sharing! I haven't been to a show in a while and I just got my fix! Now I am patiently waiting for Daytona. A friend of mine at Reptile Depot said that wasn't going to be a good show. Sure doesn't look that way from your pics! Hard to pic a fav. Thanks again! :rockon:

Ok but which albino did they you use, the high contrast of the lavender line?

I mean is this a lavender albino pied or a normal HC albino pied?

Normal Albino Pied...I asked the guy at CypressCreek

Very nice, most of the times you see albino pied made by RDR which is lavender albino pied..that's why I liked to see a normal HC albino pied.

Thx!

http://forum.dierenparadijs.be/style.../vb_thumbs.gif Very nice!

The FIRE show rocked this past weekend! It was great meeting so many of you guys and renewing old acquaintances at the show! Thanks for all your kind comments.

Daniel, thanks for all the great pics of the show and of our table. We were excited about showing off the ball pythons we produced this year and talking about ball pythons. I think one of the most amazing things about our hobby is meeting and talking to the great people involved.

We walked away from the show with a new little pewter boy and a super pastel female adult that I needed for our breeding group. I'll post pics soon. Take care.
:rockon:

Wow, looks like a great show!

I might have almost went to this. :cool:

I was actually in Orlando that weekend. That Saturday night I think we drove past where it was being held (well I saw a sign for it at least :oops: ) I had thought about stopping by on Sunday but of course didn't make it.

For some reason, it won't let me see the pictures.

Cause the post is over two months old and I deleted the pics in my photobucket account.

crap i didn't even know this thread existed.. *pouts* i want to see the pied burm.. *busts out google*

Really sorry... :(
