2012 Phoenix Reptile Expo Pics + 9 New BP Additions! (DUW)

[Daybreaker]

Me, my bf, and our friend headed to the 2012 Phoenix Reptile Expo today and took a lot of nice pics I wanted to share! The show didn't seem as big as last year unfortunately but it was bigger than the Vegas expo and we all still had a good time. We also picked up nine wonderful new BP additions; I'll need to add them in another post since you can only add so many photos to a single post.

First up the Ball Pythons...



































Some Retics....

Others:





Really considered this blood:

And now to our new additions! I struck out on females at this expo this year but I still got some things that were on my wish list and IMO I think we both got some smokin’ examples of the morphs we got. We’re both really happy with our new babies!



Up first are mine I picked up:

Little albino male from Jay E Miller Reptiles of AZ, my “Bentley” coming in at 104 grams. Can’t go wrong with a high contrast reduced albino! (He's a little dirty)







Awesome little Black Pastel male from Reptile Mogul Exotics of AZ, IMO the best example of a Black Pastel at the entire show that I saw. He’s just so nice and comes in at 136 grams. Unnamed.









Also from Reptile Mogul: lovely little Yellowbelly male at 100 grams even. Quite a bit of YBs there but this guy’s pattern and flames sold me. Nice little belly too! Unnamed.









Beautiful Orange Ghost (Hypo) male from our own eel588 (Lee Ingle): he was nice enough to take this little guy up to the show for me to save on shipping and even in blue you can see how fantastic and colorful this boy is! I can’t wait to see him in his new skin. Also 136 grams and unnamed.





These next two I got from a local breeder (David Bellis) who was also nice enough to hold them for me till the expo date. First is an awesome little Pinstripe female, IMO one of the best little Pinny females I’ve seen and exactly what I was looking for (super reduced without a lot of speckles). A wee 87 grams and unnamed.







And he had a little 100% het Orange Ghost (Hypo) female to give me too! This girl has plans with Lee’s little male and I know they’ll make great little babies one day. Nice orange little spotty girl who’s a sweety. 111 grams and unnamed.









And now my bf’s additions (devildog_dk):
First up from David as well a little Butter 100% het OG/Hypo female! I was going to snag this girl for myself but I “let him” (lol) have her so how he has a nice little butter for himself! She has great coloring and a nice unique and bold pattern: 98 grams.







Very excited about this guy: he snagged a visual medium white pied male (from JEM Reptiles, where I got my albino)! Smoking little guy at 100 grams even. Makes me want to get my high white visual female even sooner now (darnit)!







And with the male he also got a 100% het Pied female at 110 grams: cute little thing too! You can’t beat those tracks!





Overall I think we both did really well!

Awesome!! Thanks for all the pics and fantastic pick ups! If you ever need a new home for that pin girl you just give little ol me a call She is exactly what I want in a pin too

Thank you for the pics. I really like the black pastel, yb, and pin.

I really like the little butter ball! I wouldn't have "let him" have it!
Take it when he's not looking.

Your picture of the striped coastal in the first set looks alot like my girl which is awesome cuz I still wasn't completely sure what kinda carpet she was since I'm new to them mostly. Very cool pics all around I want to go to the Minnesota show next year so bad I haven't gone to a reptile show before

[SlitherinSisters]

Holy cow you got a lot of new snakes!!! I love the pin and the yellowbelly. I have not been able to find a yb that I like enough to buy!
