Have fun, and hope it goes well for you Justin!:)

[adamanteus]

Good luck today, Justin. Hope the day goes well for you.

[reptileparadise]

Good luck Justin! I remember my first time (:p) It was pretty exciting. I was so nervous! (...I'm still talking about the table at a reptile show, just so you know :D)

[Kevin_is_a_herper12]

Im so mad I am missing the show this year..=[

[rwgsnakes]

thanks everybody...it went really good. i made 292 profit after everything i got....1.1 white sided rats and 0.0.1 albino stripped cal king.

Only thing that went sour today was that the so called checkered garters i bought from a dealer a few shows back turned out to be not checkered garters.

sorry again shannon

[GartersRock]

I would like to see some photos of the show and of those mystic snakes,
wondering what speci the are.

I was there and I didn't see you
friends let us use their car and it was sort of a last minute thing

wow guys - I have to tell you . . .
I'd never been to this show, and we got there pretty late (3pm-ish), so some of the vendors had already packed up, but we got to see a lot and I brought pics

because we were late, I didn't take notes, so our resident experts will have to fill us in with some of the species specifics

I need to add here, that I really went to just look and really didn't think I was going to fall in love or anything like that
and no - I didn't come home with a hot snake, but I now totally understand how that can happen, and I really want to learn how to handle them safely some day

the lighting was atrocious of course . . .

Oh no, Rhea, I´m still far away from that.
Is it only my impression?
The boxes are looking quiet small.
But at least nice shots of interesting creatures.

[adamanteus]

Nice snakes, Rhea! In order, I believe them to be;

Bitis gabonica
Trimeresurus albolabris
Bothriopsis (or is it Bothriechis now) bilineatus
Atheris squamiger
Naja something

[drache]

and there were some other nice animals as well

Udo
what amazed me, was how exquisitely beautiful some of them are
most of them are just babies - hence the small boxes

thanks, James

and I did come home with something (not hot)
pics later

[Lori P]

Oh, you're going to keep us in suspense, huh?!!! Not fair!! Was it something on your list or an add-on??

And what is this guy??!!! Wow!!!

http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3067/2727173639_7a769d2c79_b.jpg

[Stefan-A]

And what is this guy??!!! Wow!!!
Mochlus (Riopa) fernandi.

edit: I should probably say Mochlus sp.

[GartersRock]

Nice pics!
We have a hot (and not hot) show in San Antonio and boy!! All those super interesting venomous species sure appeal to me... But I won't ever keep them. Just adore and long from afare... *sigh* :(

[reptileparadise]

Yup, looks like a fernandi!
I loveeeeeee the leachie! I can make out GT mix and the price from the picture...but was it female perhaps?

[aSnakeLovinBabe]

Instead of re writing, I am going to copy and paste the PM I just sent Amanda, lol!!!

They turned out to be very pretty rusty checkered easterns. and the are 2.1, not 1.2 but that works in my favor seeing as I need males! I still took them anyways, he really, honestly had no idea that these were not checkered garter snakes, and they are healthy and beautiful!!!

It was a good show, and I'll be doing a post later tonight with all the stuff I managed to bring home!!

For one thing... I bought ONE adult female FL blue garter for $20 (finally a mate for my male) and an hour after I got home... I had over 20 leetle florida blues zipping around :D

I also had a litter of some REALLY weird sirtalis born yesterday... they have like no color!!! they are grayish blue!!! theyre amazing and I can't wait to show you guys pics tonight...

So overall, I am not that bummed out about the checkered's. The FL blues are a blessing, simply because I lost my young female a few days ago for seemingly no reason. Now, I have my PICK!!!:p:rolleyes:

I also helped RWG sex his albino checkereds (hold them up to the light and 4 of them had dark things in there and 2 did not) and in return I got 3 baby ribbons for $20. They are CUTE, and FEISTY, (ferocious actually) and my first ribbons!

Other than that, I brought home a female blonde pastel BP, and something highly unexpected.... an ADULT female grayband!!! you NEVER see those!!! It was also a blessing, seeing a week or two into gravidity, my previous female that I raised from a hatchling "male" passed away, in a similar stunning fashion to Wayne's little Magma... she was curled up sleeping, but dead. I was heartbroken and close to selling the male thinking I would never find another beautiful female like her.

I also had a litter of some really weird sirtalis born yesterday. I think they are axanthic???? they are grayish blue... they have no color!!! pictures of EVERYTHING later!!!

a new thread with all the new guys later on!!

Justin

[rwgsnakes]

beautiful snakes, did you happen to catch a price on the eye lash?

[reptileparadise]

The animals all look to be in good condition. Quite supprisingly since they will probably all be wildcaught!

[drache]

you're totally right
I heard one of the sellers mention that they're all wild caught with the tone of pride in his voice, but since he was talking to someone else, I decided to leave it alone
and yes - all the ones I saw appeared to be in good shape
and no, Justin, I didn't really look at prices at all

yeah - I noticed the raw spot, but because the lighting was poor, my eyesight isn't great, and I have no idea whether they're not supposed to look like that, I didn't realize that that's what it was until I looked at the photo when I got home - poor snake, eh?

that's why I was so very happy that my old vet was there to check over the beardie - I can't really totally trust that I'm seeing everything right
the beardie, btw is great - a fantastic find
she's not anywhere near as picky as Henner, chomped down some garden weeds and some calcium dusted baby hissers with gusto
we still don't have a name for her
