    I know that from time to time, members of the forum meet up at reptile shows, among other places.

    I started this thread for BP.net members that meet to discuss and/or just post pictures.

    I thought it would be nice to see and to get this thread started.

    Phillydubs and I met on here at the beginning of this year, give or take, and began talking and texting soon after. We have a lot in common and finally, we both had a free weekend.

    Phillydubs came from Long Island NY to visit me in almost Massachusetts, Enfield, CT. It took him a good three hours and he spent about 8 hours here, including 3 with my reptile crew.

    Contrary to popular belief, Phillydubs is actually a really nice guy, who was great with all my 13 animals (8 reptiles and 5 dogs). I took a bunch of pictures, inserted below, but sadly, Katie was in California this weekend, and there was no one to take a picture of me and Phillydubs together.

    Not sure how easy that would be anyway. He's 6'2" at least and towers over me at 5'4".

    He hand fed Frank (BTS) and gave butter-worms as a treat to one to the Leopard Geckos who loves them. He held everyone. I believe Shayna was the first adult female BP he's held and it's safe to say baby Solana (Scaleless Sunglow Motley Red Factor Corn) blew his mind. He also truly enjoyed Figment (adult hypo-lavender corn) and loved my 2 year old Ghost BCI female, Behira (what's not to love - such a great personality and temperament). I offered to let him hand feed Behira, but sadly, he turned me down.

    Regardless we had a great time meeting, catching up, hanging with the crew, and Phillydubs even got a nice, plastic, front opening, 45G tank out of it. I hope there was more to the visit than that, and I'll let him comment later, but we had a great time and, again, pictures below.

    What do you mean by "more to come " .. ?


    I did suggest, a while back , that strange 'things' and odd 'threads' were appearing in our UK forum and quite possibly this forum ...

    I was just kidding... LOL! I was exhausted this am and couldn't leave that thread just hangin!

    It was a lot of driving and a jam packed day but wellllll worth it!!

    As my bro bro said, we started to chat in the beginning of the year before I had any snakes... He had been giving me great advice on threads and I just sent a PM and said hey mind if I text a few questions and it sort of took off. We have many things in common away from the reptile world so its very easy to relate on multiple levels which is nice as well.

    What an awesome day though! As soon as I got there we ran to the one and only local reptile specialty shop which was super cool, a lot of nice and interesting animals there for purchase. I handled some jungle jag carpet that blew both our minds, if I was there alone and not 3 hours from home that fella may have come home!

    I got to ride in his BEAST, which is a suped up porche that literally flies, what a fun experience. We ate some amazing food along the way as well.

    The true highlight of the trip was obviously the full introduction to his crew of reptiles. A very awesome, diverse and kind collection of tame and fun animals! Dave was super lax with my interaction and was just like here is the keys go get them! I had each and everyone out for quite some time and really got a feel for their personalities. Each are so very different but all so chill and easy going, true pleasure to handle them all. I had seen many pictures but as we all know, very few photographs do reptiles justice.

    A very fun day and I hope the first of many! He owes me a return trip to meet my ever growing crew and we would like to get our ladies together as well, so definitely more fun adventures to come with this dude.

    I am writing this from work but I got some great shots as well that I will post later...

    It's hard to choose a favorite and I actually really loved figment his hypo lav corn but Boa's are just so damn cool hard not to pick behira... Then Solana and her glowing arse comes out and shes like a corn with a boa personality and scaleless to boot! Lucky I got to hold them all and didn't have to choose cause that would have been hard!

    I'm kinda on the fence about making the Oct. expo, but if there's a few BP.net friends going I can probably be nudged in that direction fairly easily.

    I had the pleasure of briefly meeting dboeren a few weeks back when we divvied up a feeder order we placed together. He and his family were headed to dinner and I met them at the restaurant. They were very kind and even invited me to join them for supper but I had to get home. We agreed to meet up again to see each other's collections when time permits. Looking forward to our next visit Dave. I think CKuhn is close to us too so we might make it into a party!
