Look what I got for FREE!

I went to my first Madison Area Herpetological Society meeting tonight and became a paid member. Our Society is still relatively small, but with a growing group, and other declining area societies, Madison should be the largest in Wisconsin after this year (if it isn't already.) I hitched a ride with Kinra, a friend of mine with whom most of you on this site are familiar. Tonight was show and tell, since there was no guest speaker planned. I brought my blood python. Kinra brought a super cool crested gecko. She had also brought this guy to give to another member to make room for a new addition to her collection. Well, the other member never showed and Kinra didn't have the space to take him home, so guess what?! I got a free male hypo BCI!!! Pretty awesome considering early next week, i'll be receiving my Guyana BCC!! Thanks Kinra!! He's gonna be all good!

I'm glad I went to the meeting tonight, not just because of the snake but because of the people I met (in person, not just on facebook) and the networking that will develop, also the contribution of ideas for educational expos in the future and addressing a fight against banning many species of reptiles locally. It feels good to be part of it. Can't wait until next month!

Here he is fresh out the snake bag before he went into his qt tub. My camera sucks...


Be on the lookout for pictures of my guyana early next week!
