New pics, new snakes, and a trip to the Dixie Reptile Show

[Marla]

A new pic of Snyder, showing how much she's grown. Her skin isn't saggy anymore, but she's really dark because she's about to shed.


Close-up of Snyder's head


3.0 new BP's, all CB by Alan Bosch. The top one is mine, the middle one my roommate's, the bottom one my cousin's 16th birthday present (she picked him out). The first and last are normals, but the middle is a poss. het. piebald.


This shows the colors of the new boys in contrast with one another.


The Dixie Reptile Show was small as we expected, but we got really lucky and wound up there at the same time as Alan Bosch. He hadn't been there for a year and a half and was planning to go to the Miami show this weekend but had cancelled because one of his kids was sick this week. He had the best looking BPs at the show (not that there were many), and we enjoyed chatting with him.

Also at the show were a number of very pretty milksnakes, kingsnakes, and corn snakes, and some tiny chameleons. There was one albino Burmese 14' long, a few small Burmese (~3 ft.), a couple dozen tarantulas, a few geckos, some good looking bearded dragons (including a few at Alan's table), emperor scorpions, some Kenyan sand boas, and one very sad, terrified, waterless, foodless, 7 mo. old neutered male Canadian lynx. Aside from my wanting to call the animal welfare cops on whoever brought the lynx (it was unattended while we were there, but next to the big burm), and the fact that the show was so small we spent 1/5 the time at the show that it took us to travel there and back, it was a good show. And meeting Alan and getting the deal we got on the poss. het piebald made it definitely worth the trip.

Did you get pics of the show?

[Marla]

No, but my older daughter did some videotaping. I'll have to see if I can figure out how to transfer some of it and/or some still shots to the computer.

Dang, oh well

Great looking BP's, Marla! I love that reduced pattern on Dante, what a b-day present! lol...They are all great looking.

Looking great Marla, great pics

[Marla]

Thanks, y'all. They are good-looking snakes, aren't they? And much stronger and more active than poor Snyder was when I got her. Seymour in particular has a great grip. I weighed them today, and Snyder and Seymour are each 119g, Dante is 104.9g, and little Hanover is 85g. Seymour's eyes went blue today, so he'll be following Snyder into shed.
