Phoenix Reptile Expo Pics and Pickups! (DUW)

[Daybreaker]

Me and the bf went to the Phoenix Reptile Expo today and had a blast It was our first expo and even though we thought it would be larger there was a really nice variety of animals to be seen.

Tons of pics!!







Almost took this girl home:








This snake was ridiculous in person:






































I love anything T+:




If I had $350 extra dollars more than what I brought I would have snatched this guy up:






I striked out on any bloods and bulls, but I did find some great pickups and my bf got what he wanted too

My pickups:

"Gambit": cute minimal dalmation spot Crested Gecko proven male, 34 grams. My main goal was to find a Crestie and though I thought there would be a lot more I am very happy to come home with this guy. All I wanted was something spotty, frog butt, and male.



"DiOra": Gorgeous Sharp strain Albino female BCI that I almost missed out on (we almost skipped the table). There was another Sharp albino girl and a Kahl but IMO this girl was the most stunning. She's 132 grams.



"Vera": Snow cornsnake female, 2010 hatch. She has a ton of gorgeous yellows along her cheeks and upper body and I was happy I found a snow that was already on fuzzies so I wouldn't have to buy a whole bag of pinkies. 33 grams.



last but not least, "Telly": very cute little Pastel female. Best pastel girl that I found at the show: she has such gorgeous colors that unfortunatly I couldn't pick up through her plastic container. When everyone's settled I'll be getting new pics. She is 162 grams.



The BF's pickups:

Awesome lesser male produced by the same guy who I got little Telly from. He was a steal IMO and his colors are stunning. If I was in the market for a little lesser boy (I want a girl) I would have snatched him in a heartbeat too! He's a tiny 85 grams.



Cute and very steely colored Dumeril's Ground Boa male. Very calm and sweet. 130 grams.



We're already looking forward to next year's expo

The breeder we got the BPs from is Dan Solis, I don't know if he's a member here but I've seen his name around quite a bit. He was a pretty cool guy to work with.

Nice pickups!

I'm hoping that sometime in my lifetime I can experience one of these expos for the first time. xD

Thanks,

Love the boa you picked up!

[EverEvolvingExotics]

Great choice with the crested, he's stunning! I've always had a thing for albino boas. Thanks for the pics, it makes me excited to go tomorrow.

Your albino BCI, is very pretty. I need to post pics of the one I got on tuesday, letting the mouse she ate digest a little more first

Thanks everyone, it was a blast

eel588: I think you won't have a problem finding what you're looking for, there was a great selection (though like mentioned: I was surprised about the lack of Cresties).

But on Gambit's note: he already ate a full bottle cap of his CGD tonight and I think he likes his setup: it has more leaves and branches in there than the rainforest! Plus two caves, a climbing wood, and a humid hide.

Me and my bf's snakes are doing good so far too, all are just settling in Very happy about our first expo experience.
