After agreeing that we weren't going to buy anything at the NRBA show at Tinley Park, my husband and I went there on Saturday.
It was amazing!!! Over 1000 vendors, and so many attendees I couldn't believe it! There was so much to see, ball pythons in every color morph you could imagine, tree boas, blood pythons, geckos, tarantulas, red tail boas, corn snakes, king snakes, rat snakes, I could go on and on. It was fascinating.
We are, admittedly, very ignorant about corn snake breeding, and what you get by breeding what to what. When we bought our female lavender, it was with future breeding in mind. I just love them and to be able to produce them would be a dream come true. Well after talking to several breeders at the show we discovered we have a problem, breeding our lavender female to any of the males we have (a ghost and a snow) wouldn't produce lavender babies. We needed a lavender male.
So my husband bought a tiny lavender male for me, he is so cute!!! No pictures because he was deeply in blue when we bought him, so I brought him home, put him in his house and am going to leave him alone until he sheds, then feed him, then give him a chance to digest, then I will handle him and take pictures.
No name yet either. But I had a great time at the show and I'm super happy!!!!!!!!
