My Tinley Experience!

We got back from Tinley yesterday, and had a blast. I wanted to take a moment to say thanks for everyone that came by the table, and for those of you that made purchases. The show was a big success for us, at least I thought so. We met a few new members, and met a few people we have know for a while, but never met. I really missed those of you that couldn't make, but there is always next year. We were also able to hang out with a bunch of old friends that we only see two or three times a year. A few other good points, were that we were able to pass out quite a few BP.net brochures, so hopefully we will get a few new members from those efforts. We also took the opportunity to join USARK this weekend, and we defintely recommend everyone joining, to help support Andrew's efforts. We were able to get about 20 signatures for the petition to remove Boa, Python and Eunectes from the injurious species list as well. Lastly we were provided the opportunity to donate some money for the Chinese Alligator conservation efforts. All in all, it was a great show (as usual).

I unfortunately did not take a single picture while we were there, but I did manage to take a photo of our newest addition a bit ago. Meet Bozo. I think you'll know where he got his name when you see his pic. So, without further ado (I know everyone likes pics, so I figured I better put at least one in our thread).

man thats one hot clown

Congrats Tim, Bozo the clown is lookin good.

Beautiful snake! It was nice to meet you Tim! I would have talked a while but my girlfriend was dragging me around to find something. Maybe next time I can talk.:)Hope you had fun!

Ohmigosh!!! That's the HOTTEST "Bozo the Clown" I've EVER seen!! Smokin'!!!

Glad you're back Tim! You're always missed when you're away! And I'm thrilled you had such a great time and successful show! Thank you for passing out the BP.net brochures! :gj:

Thats a real nice clown Tim, it was great meeting you and Monica this weekend. I'm already looking forward to going back next year.

Now THAT'S a pick-up. Wow!!! :D

Thanks for the compliments everyone. I am very pleased with this Clown, to say the least.

:gj: Bozo is hot, congrats on the new addition Tim.

Oh, wow - Bozo is totally awesome! :cool:

Now thats a Clown! Perfect example! Nice Tim :sweeet:

Niiiice clown :banana:
Wow, I love clowns....beautiful!!!

Wow! super hot!!! :snake:

Bozo is the hotness! Exactly what I hope to produce one day myself! Did Sean produce him? He reminds me a lot of the reduces that Sean produced last year!

I think Bozo needs to visit in B'ham next month! ;)

WOW TIM, great looking snake.

Holy Clown! That's an awesome looking snake there! I wish I had the $$ to go out and get one lol. I'll be sticking to the co-dom crosses for a little while though til I start selling some babies :D Congrats thats an amazing pick up! :gj:

Thanks for all of the compliments everyone. He is indeed a very striking animal. He was in shed when we picked him out, so I wasn't sure how his real color would be. However, his brother was very bright, but I liked this one's pattern better, so I took the gamble, and was amazed when he shed out on the way home from Tinley.

p.s. Robin, he could probably make the trip to B'Ham, but I'm not promising anything yet.

That's an amazing Clown Tim!

One of my favorites!

Okay Tim now I know why you asked me if I'd seen this thread yet....HOLY WOW! :O One of the best clowns I've ever seen and exactly the type I hope to one day own. Huge congrats to you and Monica on adding this gorgeous snake to your collection!

Big hugs to both of you for supporting both BPNet and USARK. :)

Very nice clown Tim! That is a perfect example of the morph. best of luck with all you future clown projects:gj:

now that is a smokin' clown. something I want to add to my collection one day.

Thanks Jess, Jo, Raul and Doris. We definitely like him, and he ate his first meal for us on Wednesday, so he is on his way to meeting the ladies.

So many morph's, so little money. Super nice clown Tim.

Thanks Jim. I feel the same way about the money issue. LOL.
