BP.net members with/meeting BP.net members

[dakski]

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 ...

@dakski, we should have grabbed a photo at the last Manchester Expo. Maybe in Oct?

Only if I can join!! If I don't have my kids I'd love to go and meet you too Craig and see who else can meet up!

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!

I shared the same pleasure of meeting up with dboeren for a feeder order and even got to hold his carpet python which was very exciting. I was telling him that outside of the local Repticon and this board, I don't think I've ever come across anyone who shared an interest in snakes (or reptiles for that matter). Let me know when the next meetup is. I'd love to see your collection Ziggy.

Missterdog, redshepherd, and I are friends in real life! We met through the forum and quite often chat + play games online together. This summer they flew to me and we rented a house for a few days. We had so much fun talking and laughing with each other- it's crazy how well we click!

Honestly they have become some of my closest friends. I don't know how I got so lucky to have these sweet, kind, hilarious people in my life 💖
