Daytona... shopping list

Is it just me, or is it taking FOREVER for the Daytona show to get here???

I plan to shop for a new 41 quart rack or 2... a thermostat... sexing probes... and MAYBE one or two balls.... maybe an albino... and maybe a beautiful reduced normal female....

This is my first time actually going to a reptile show. I assume there is better selection at the beginning of the show, but better prices at the end?? Please share your thoughts on this.

What do you hope to pick up at the show???

Mike

Who do you think the hypo is coming from?? :cool:

The hypo isn't my surprise morph I got something different coming for my big pick-up

As for the normals.. Yea I'll pick you some out I got a super secret shopper with steller taste in Ball Pythons helping me with the Normals.. :D

I plan to go, but im am not sure if I want to go this year. if I do not have alot of money on me to buy things I see no point and then I can save for the next year. But... What I will get if I think that I can afford everything for breeding supplies after wards...

5-10 normal females

*If I can find these

No its not Adam you know I have snakes from all kinds of different breeders but no 8ball, theres something wrong with that. Adam does however have something I want though and He's the only one I will buy this particular morph from cause his are the best of the certain kind I have ever seen.

The hypo is coming from just as outstanding a group of friends. :gj:

OOo, I know of a person who has some great taste in normals! ;)

I don't remember seeing many adult morphs for sale, and very few adult normal females.

Keep in mind, just because you get adults doesn't mean that they'll breed for you this fall - sometimes they still need a good year or two to acclimate enough to be receptive to breeding.

I recall someone posted here that their experience was with adults, it sometimes took two years before the females would breed, almost as long as buying a baby and raising them up themselves.

Having not experienced this myself, so I'm not certain how common this is, but I do recall Greg Graziani also stating that adult females will often go "off" when moved, and that those you raise yourself generally do better on one of his Reptile Radio shows.

Robin I will say that I got some adults that I intended to breed this year that didn't make it. From here on out I plan to pick nothing over 800 grams up for the intent of breeding.

Cash or check? :P That would actually work really well. I get new snakes, and you get to buy them with my money..lol.

A little off topic... but do you think that it would be better for me to get some 800-900 gram females and raise them up for a little bit until big enough and have a better chance at them going next season?

In Daytona I will pick up my females from NERD and a male Crestie from Emily

At the show I will be looking for

Male Albino het anery Honduran Milksnake

Male Lavender California Kingsnake

Female Desert Phase Kingsnake

Female Giant Albino Leopard Gecko and maybe a male

BP? Maybe

Mmmm Daytona--I can't wait! I'll be picking up my black pastel and stripey normal females from NERD, but other than that I have no specific list. Shocking I know! Mostly that's because I'm vending this year so my mind is focused on that rather than shopping, but I am sure I'll find some things to come home with. :D

Wow, what a suprise, I will also be picking up two females from NERD. What a quinkydink. :rolleyes:

Other than those two girls, I don't have anything in mind for myself. I'm just looking forward to Daytona. :D :banana:

OK, OK - I'm picking up two females from NERD too - shocking isn't it?

No plans really to buy anything else, but that doesn't mean I might not come home with MORE than just those two even if I don't buy!;)

Ahhhh Daytona......can't wait!!!! I can't wait for this show, it is going to be so much FUN!!! Trey, Im watching you this time!!! :D Allan, not sure if you are coming, but if you are, I am keeping Karl away from you after you have a couple of drinks!! ;) Ed and Robin, you two have to have more fun this show, I can't think of anything to rag you about right now, hmmmm.

Anyway, my pickups at the show are going to be.....

Male Pied (Just have to pick him up at the show, he is yet to hatch, but he is coming from BHB)

Possible a Male Cinny from Adam if everything works out.

And hmmmm, still talking to Kara, might end up breaking down and getting her to bring me a female or two. ;)

Check... maybe a slide too...made of jello.

Just a suggestion, whipped creme? Cause you can't have jello without whipped creme!

I'm hoping I can make it this year, when it comes to what I'll get it has to much to do with trades I might be able to make in July.

0.1 Yb( darn I didn't produce one)
1.0 Cinny
1.0 Orange ghost
0.1 mojave( I think I'd be happy if I got 2 out of the list)
