NARBC 2007 Pictures!

Hopefully folks won't get sick of all the NARBC topics...I thought I would start this one for ALL links and/or attached photos people would like to share. I am STILL uploading all of my picks so I'll be back to post my stuff!

tease! i wanted pics now lol

Yes Ma'am! :)

Here's the link to my gallery: http://warrenreptiles.com/gallery/ma...g2_itemId=2356

Be warned that that plastic and acrylic enclosures make picture taking a...challenge. I think I did better this year than in 2005 though. The pics are up but now I am going to go through comment on some them...but since some of you are impatient ;P go ahead and take a peak. Be warned that the full size of the pics are very large...I turned up the quality settings but if you just click the thumbnail you will get a medium size pic, not the full size.

Other notes: I did get the nerve up to ask a young women wearing an 8ball shirt if she was a member her...and she was! I briefly met rocker girl...probably have the spelling wrong but I've seen her posts here. We only talked for a minute before both of us went on our way but it was still a treat to meet you!

awesome for the link, thank you! im waiting for it to upload now.. as for the acrylic glass good job trying to get better pics this year. i do photography and know how difficult some pics can be. there is something exciting :P ;) about seeing big red venomous signs

way to go for mustering up the confidence to ask about rockrgirl (however she spells it) i usually dont have guts to do anything like that ;)

Holy crap... that Genetic Stripe Sunglow boa is amazing. As is the Banana Clown... :O


The jealousy deepens...

EDIT: What's name of that white blood?

looks like wifey got the boa after all woo hoo!!!

You may have considered the acrylic a challenge, but you were more than up to the challenge. Great Photo gallery!

Great pics of Rob Carmichael's hots. It's not easy getting the glare off that glass.

That Genetic Stripe Sunglow is off the CHART!!!!!!!
And that crazy Retic!?!?! And as always.... the albino Bloods!
GREAT STUFF!!! Your new Boa is a complete DOLLLL! :D

It's a retic... calico I think.

i had a feeling it might be a retic but goodness that thing is awesome looking too bad it didnt stretch out and show off for the camera

I don't know about you guys, but that Noseybe panther cham was stunning!

Great pics! Thanks for letting us share the experience through your camera's eye.:)


Does anyone know who produced that Genetic Stripe Sunglow boa? It is incredible!

Thanks for taking those pics... I enjoyed them! :)

Great Pictures...Thanks for sharing.

So what is an Inferno? (I think it was from NERD)

Tek, I think you were following me around taking a pic of everything I took! Nice pics!

Thanks for the compliments everyone! It was worth going down just to look at all the animals and take pictures. There where as always some truly amazing animals. I mentioned before but it was the ball python lovers dream show but I made my best attempt to capture other reptiles as well. I only got as far as adding a "Venomous" summary to the related photos, I will probably have to reference those answering the "what morph is that" in this topic as some I have already forgotten!

I need to make a better attempt at trying to hook up with folks from the forum, not that I minded it all that much but when we where not at the show we were sitting in the hotel room (Friday and Saturday night)...at least they had wireless :D

got home late last night and uploaded all my pics to photobucket. But anyways here is the link

Nice pics! The albino Sulcata's where to die for!

So much gorgeousness! I'm so jealous! :tongue2:

And wow, those were some angry cobras! The one albino cobra they always have at the Tuscon show never hoods, he just eyeballs people.

That axanthic pin show's why axanthic's are a must for any collection.

what i heard at the show is that Axanthic Pinstripe is the first ever produced and it finally came out of the egg the morning of the show.

I'm dying to know what this is:

Yeah, that's a calico retic. The photo I tried to take of that snake didn't turn out.

Some shots that I'm happy with. Most of the pictures I took didn't turn out the way I wanted, even with my attempts to minimize glare and focus properly.

I believe this one was at Signal Herp, I don't recall if it was for sale.

I have been wanting a sulcata for years. Kelly knows what they look like even as hatchlings, so she cut me off at the pass when I tried to buy one. But she fell in love with a leopard tort. and bought it. I didn"t have the heart to tell her they get big also. :rolleyes: Boy did she raise cane when she got home and pulled up a care she and saw the size they get. But she has already fallen for him.

I had to tweak this picture a bit. It probably doesn't do the snake proper justice. It was a gorgeous dwarf retic of some kind.

Great pics. What size does the dwarf reach?

I'm just not sure. I thought that dwarf retics were around 12-13 ft, but from the conversation the sellers were having, It may be more like 15 ft?

I'm a bit confused by how big a dwarf retic and a super dwarf retic is supposed to be. Also, I know some of the genetic morphs are being crossed into the smaller retics, so size is probably still a bit variable.

Dang It! Now I have to find one of those. Did the guy have more of those of offspring from that snake? Do you know who he is. I always want snakes but I would buy a pair of those, as in like right now. Wonder if that pattern is reproducible and genetic or just something kind of freakish that happens from time to time, anyway it is very cool.

That's actually a Dwarf Albino Genetic Stripe Retic that we now own. She was originally produced by Brandon Boeke and we ended up getting her along with her parents. I'm hoping to breed the adults again this year.

From everything I've heard/learned about the Dwarf Retics, they usually range in size from anywhere between 10 up to 15 feet or so with 12 to 13 feet being average. I know that sounds big but definitely still a dwarf compared to 20 to 25+ feet!

The parents that produced the female Dwarf Albino Genetic Stripe are normals that are DH for Albino Genetic Stripe. The male is about 9 to 10 feet long whereas the female is closer to 13 feet long.

Super Dwarf Retics range in size from as small as 5 feet at maturity to 9 or 10 feet for a really large female. We have a female Super Dwarf that is about 4 years old and she's approximately 8 feet long. Jumbo rats keep her pretty content. She's roughly the same size as some of our big Colombian Boas.

I know there have been some baby Super Dwarves produced that only weighed around 25 to 30 grams upon hatching which is about 1/2 to 1/3 the weight of most hatchling Ball Pythons!
