Sacramento Expo + Pickups (**DUW**)

[Crazy4Herps]

Went to my first expo yesterday! Had the time of my life. I normally hate shopping, but this was super fun and I found myself a couple of amazing additions.

Here we go. Prepare to be amazed!

I am ashamed to say that, since I was primarily shopping for a boa, I didn't get as many BP shots as I'd have liked, but I got the highlights. (Super spinner, extreme high white bee, etc.)

ATB


GTP


Monster pied


Not sure, but I'm thinking this is an Angolan python. Thoughts?


Super spinner!!

Sharp salmon BCI (I was stuck between getting this one and the one I did get. I'm thus far happy with my choice. See bottom for pix of my new girl.)

Okay, and here are my pickups.

Zilveren Zalma (don't ask about the name... it means 'silver salmon' in Dutch, my friend came up with it. She's got lots of pinks and a silver head) the Dave Colling 09 female circleback BCI

Believe it or not, I've got more pix loading. I'll save your poor computers and give you think link to the expo pix.

That looks to be a "wall". A cross between a woma python and a ball python.

Aw, now I kinda wish I had gone! But between the weather forecast of 104 in Sac (), and the fact that I'm pretty much broke for the moment... well, those factors made the 3-hour (round-trip) drive less appealing. Great pictures and nice pickups - love that boa!

It was a fun show! I went Sunday. There were alot of pretty boas there, I was almost tempted to pick one up!

Nice photos and pickup!

I was surprised that it wasn't hot at all in the convention center. With all the people in there, heaters for the snakes, I don't think it got above 85*. Outside, I didn't think it was too hot, but I've lived in the valley all my life, 100*+ days just feel like another day!
