Hamm Germany

[Slowcountry Balls]

So my wife has family friends in Germany. Since we have been married, for the last year and a half, we have been trying to plan a trip to Germany to see her family friends and enjoy good food while doing a little traveling. My wife picked all the dates and set the trip up. While over in a suburb of Dusseldorf, we were talking with her family friends, who found my hobby of breeding Ball Pythons quite interesting. They did not think that Germans would do this. I informed them that I knew there were some German Ball Python breeders, and that I bet that I could find one in Dusseldorf. I found Frank Hamacher who owns Der Terraristik Laden (https://www.facebook.com/terraristik...rofile_browser). I went to his store and had a great visit with him. He told me that the next weekend would be the Hamm, Germany show. Well, it turned out that my wife wanted a quiet day with her family friends and I was able to go to the show. Here are some pictures that I took from the show. I will be adding more pictures over the next few days (maybe a week or two depending on how busy work is).

Herman Van Hellem of albinoreptiles.eu is working with a new recessive gene named Rainbow. He didn't have any Rainbows on his table, but did have this really cool Rainbow Enchi.


The guys from Crystal Palace Reptiles had some cool stuff on their table:
Bamboo


Bamboo Yellowbelly


Pewter Bamboo


Cinnamon Bongo


Hypo Pied

Hoping to see a few of these and Pastel Hypo Pieds in one of my clutches this year!

Well, that's all I have time to post tonight. I will get some more pictures posted just as soon as I can. It may not be until after the weekend though, because this Sunday is Savannah Reptiday, and my wife and I will be vending there. Hope some of you can make it out to the show.

Very nice snakes!

Glad you were able to get out and go to a German show. Pretty cool!

Thank you for the photos.

Well, I am getting ready for the show tomorrow, but found a little time to post these pictures. Here are snakes form two more vendors' tables:

AustrianReptiles.com had these guys on their table:
Bamboo Phantom - I know the picture quality is not the best, but if you look closely you can see that there is a slight yellow pattern on the dorsal and the top of the sides:


I always like Mojave combinations, so this one jumped out to me. I like what the Galaxy does to the Mojave, and the possibility of Yellowbelly doesn't hurt either:


The pattern on the Galaxy Odd Ball looked really cool. Sorry about the glare:


These two just looked nice, a Leopard Pied and Coral Glow Spider Calico. AustrianReptiles.com sold a Coral Glow Spider Calico Cinnamon that I saw, it looked really cool.


As you know, I tend to pick out low white Pieds, but this high white Pastel Pied caught my eye. The fact that it was next to a Confusion didn't hurt. I really like the pattern on the Confusion and look forward to seeing it in combinations.


I know that some people object to Hybrids, but I still like the Angolan Python - Ball Python cross. Gekko Reptiles had these two on their table.
Here is the Angry Ball


Gekko Reptiles also had a Spider Angry Ball. Look at how the Ball Python's Spider gene comes through!


Hope you guys enjoyed these pictures!

Thanks for all these great pics! Now we can say we went international and had a sneak peek into German herpetoculture thanks to Slowcountry Balls. Lol.

Wow, what a treat. Those are some fabulous snakes. Thanks for posting those pics!

Enjoy your stay!

Here is another installment of picture from the Hamm Show.

Here is a picture of the "line" outside, the entrance is under the yellow sign.


Over at H.J. Winner's table (http://www.hjwinner.de/) I got to see the Hurricane and many of its combinations.
Here are two pictures of base morph, Hurricane:



H.J. added Cinnamon to get the Hurricane Cinnamon


This Hurricane Cinnamon has darkened and so H.J thinks this is a Hurricane Cinnamon IMG


This Hurricane Cinnamon Yellowbelly looks nice. The Hurricane is more subtle in this combination


The Enchi and the Hurricane seem to be fighting each other in this Hurricane Enchi


This one is my favorite, a Hurricane Pastel Mojave


Snakeguy (http://snakeguy.de/) had a cool new morph, Splash, and his own line of incomplete dominate Granite
Splash, seems to be a subtle pattern reducer


Pastel Splash, shows reduction in pattern


Fire Splash, this one really starts to show the pattern reduction


Firefly Splash really shows the pattern reduction. This is the one that caught my eye and led me to ask about the Splash morph


Here is Snakeguy's own line of Granite


I really like the Granite Mojave het Hypo that was on his table


Here is the Super Granite. I like the pattern on this one, not as dramatic as the Paint/Nazca/Speckeled...., but still very nice.


Hope you guys enjoy these pictures. I should have one more installment of pictures for you guys when I get some more time.
