DAYTONA pics and new snakes

[aSnakeLovinBabe]

Please do not post until you see the last post saying that I am finished... thanks!

Okay guys... be ready for one loooonggg post. Daytona... needless to say, was a freaking blast. It was my first time, and let me tell you i am hooked for life. I got to meet a lot of awesome people that made the reptile hobby what it is today, as well as see some things I have never seen before. I finally got to meet Scott Felzer, lord of the garter snake world and let me tell you, he is AWESOME! I must have spent half my day at his table... I took home quite a bit from him as well. To see his garters in person, absolutely breathaking!! He made me want to sell all of my other snakes and just have 5730905 garters. of course, I won't quite be doing that, but it was enough of a shove to finalize my decision to sell up to half of my not-garters/red-bellies/dekays/water snakes.

So... even though the night before the show my boyfriend got incredibly drunk and was doing very bad things like projectile vomiting onto my hairdryer, brush, jewelry, and clothing, it was a GREAT expierience and I simply cannot wait to do it again.

Here is a list of what I came home with:

1 baby black racer from the hotel parking lot
5 anoles for a friend also from the hotel parking lot

From Scott Felzer:
1 male hypo FL banded water snake
1.1 similis- FL bluestriped garters
1 female Iowa snow plains garter
1 female nebraska albino plains garter
1.1 flame easterns (finally got them!)

From some random guy with 84995 "red sided garters"
1.2 BLACK oregon red-spots. there was like 50 snakes in that tank, but 3 of them were oregon red-spots with absolutely NO red spots!!! They are NEAT! Even Scott thought they were cool.... and they are a trio to boot!
1.1 Valley garters.... gorgeous

From other vendors:
Female 08 Abbott Okeetee cornsnake... see pics below to see what they look like all grown up

Breedable young male White-sided black rat snake... Tightie whitie has a boyfriend now!!!

Won a mustache'd (facial pattern abnormality) BP for $20 during silent auction!

And last, but certainly not least....

When I went back to Scott's table to say bye.... he said he wanted to show me something that was found and passed on to him 2 weeks prior to the show... and He pulled out a little critter carrier and picked up a very tiny albino "garter" snake. He was like man im not sure about this one he's so tiny! I am looking at it.. and I said Scott, that is not a garter snake. He looked surprised and he said.. yes it is!!! And I said no, no its really not!!! It's from the genus Storeria, I could tell by the shape of his little head and from the telltale "collar" behind the head that was pink (normally would be black). He still disagreed and then as I was talking to him saying "it's a dekay's brown snake!" I could see him suddenly realize what it was!! He was like oh my gosh, I never even thought of that... and after examining the little fella again... he said i was right!! haha! And then I said well congrats I think that is the only one known to man, you're a lucky fellow... and he said he doesn't keep dekay's... and then told me I could have it for what he payed the other guy for it!! I am ECSTATIC!!! Scott Felzer, you are the man. So now, I am in possession to what my knowledge, is the ONLY albino Dekay's Brown snake known to man. I got home at 3:30 AM and instantly offered him some tiny worm peices... I was worried about him looking at tiny bit thin, and he ate four of them while still in the container, right off my tongs!! I know that not many people even know what a Dekay's is... but this is a SERIOUS priveledge to be working with this snake. THANK YOU SCOTT!!

But now... without further blabbing..... here are pictures from the show! I have to apologize I didn't get some better ones... my battery charger is missing and so I had ONE full battery to work with, once it dies its dead... so I only took 1 or 2 pictures of things and then shut the camera off to save power.


FIRST UP: Scott's Garters!

Hypo cali red-sided: I have to note this snake is WAY more beautiful in person than in any photo... I was shocked to see the difference... even my pictures make her look bad. Her sides are really a sky blue color... amazing.

[Snake lover 3-25]

OMG i wanna go!!!!! that is SOOOOOO cool..... i love all those pics and that dekay is awesome!!!! so is that albino iguana!!!

[jitami]

Very nice Shannon!!! Good luck with the Dekay baby! That was very cool of Scott to pass it along to you! Love all the other keepers & souvenirs, too. Sounds like you had a great time! Congrats on all of your new acquisitions!

Personally I want THIS ONE...

http://i286.photobucket.com/albums/ll86/aSnakeLovinBabe/Daytona/daytona061.jpg

Yep, yep, yep... totally in love... gotta have...

[Garter_Gertie]

I thoroughly enjoyed that! Thanks so much for 'letting me go too.'

That's so super about the Dekay!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[crzy_kevo]

sounds like a great trip shannon and your so lucky about that dekays im sure wayne is very jealous :D

[Lori P]

Ooooh. I love all the pics. I have to go thru them a few times to pic my fav's!!!!

[Hornets23]

Wow, i would love to go to one of these sometime!

[Lori P]

What are these?

http://i286.photobucket.com/albums/ll86/aSnakeLovinBabe/Daytona/daytona081.jpg

[aSnakeLovinBabe]

those are bamboo ratsnakes from asia... right now any of them will run you a few hundred dollars!!!

from what i hear though.. they are impeccably easy to breed and care for... like a cornsnake... and that they "come storming out of the egg eating every pinkie in sight"

give it a few years.... and they will be everywhere!

(thats what I am doing)

[GartersRock]

My god Shannon!! &@#!^!, ^%$*#^, !#!#@#!! *cries and whines*
Every time you post I am soooo jealous.... *cries*
I WILL make the Daytona show someday and I will bring as much money as humanly possible. :D What a blast!! So happy for you that you got to meet Scott. See his snakes. GET THAT BROWN SNAKE!! Wow!!

His leucistic flame is HOT!

Is that a paradox amel checkered?? How much did they want for it and whowas the vendor? Very interesting...

I love all the paradox amels... Heck. I loved ALL of it!!
What an awesome trip!
I am so jealous of you....

But it got me excited for the austin expo this weekend!! WHOO!

[Garter_Gertie]

Did you miss the Youstown Expo, 'Ster?

Though Austin is closer... Say "Hi!" to all the 3Mers for me, will ya?

[aSnakeLovinBabe]

lol, the paradox amel checkered was not for sale... they had it labeled as calico... but its actually not... calico is a breedable trait... whereas paradox plays by its own set of rules and they will probably breed that snake only to get a bunch of normal amels!!!

i couldnt get a photo because they had it behind two layers of plastic... but one eye was dark and the other was light!!!

[anji1971]

What an amazing place! I don't think they have anything like that in this corner of the world!
Glad you ended up with so many fantastic snakes. That Dekay's is really something. Lucky you!!:cool:

[crzy_kevo]

actually anji there is an anual herp show close to toronto i hope to go one day to meet Dr. Phil Blais

[anji1971]

But is it as good as THIS one, Kevin???
Something tells me Canada doesn't have a show like Daytona.:(

[GartersRock]

Did you miss the Youstown Expo, 'Ster?

Though Austin is closer... Say "Hi!" to all the 3Mers for me, will ya?

Oh no! I didn't miss it. ;) It's this Sat!! WHOO!!
I am picking up the red hoggy, a carrot tail leopard gecko someone found in their yard. 1.1 Hairless Rats, 1.1 Normal Rats and $350 worth of whatever I like. :D

[crzy_kevo]

actually anji im not sure if it is as good but if blais is there you know he is going to have his flames and SF garters

[Garter_Gertie]

'Ster, we gotta start like joining or workin' together or co-lab-er-ating or whatever. I can hold/keep for you some males and when you want to breed them I send them back to you. Then when they have good lookin' babies, I get one or two MALES and then when you want them I send them to you, blah, blah, blah.

'Cuz I don't gots the money, I want the babies to hug and kiss, and I can be your annex since you're about to loose your happy home...

Yeah, man!

[GartersRock]

Sounds like fun Gertie!! :D

[Garter_Gertie]

It'd work for me! I don't want to breed but do want way cooler snakies. I could hug'um and kiss'um and cuddle'um and basically socialize them for wierd snake nerd kind'a folks...

YEAH!

[snakeman]

I thought Phil Blais got rid of most of his breeder flames.

[GartersRock]

I thought Phil Blais got rid of most of his breeder flames.

Thats a shame.....

And yeah Gertie! We'll have to talk soon! :D

[Garter_Gertie]

I'm all ears.

[bio6464]

Great pics as always...sounds like the bf kept it "Interesting"! :rolleyes:
Jerry

[reptile3]

I envy you!!!! Look at that yellow iguana!! wow, that all white ball, gorgeous!!!
I would have loved to be there, maybe next year I will get to go, I am only a couple hours away!! Congrats on your new snakes, gosh I wish I could get alot more, but I would have to get rid of the husband!! ha ha

Did you happen to see BallPython.net table#548


maybe me & Aundrea will save up for next years!!!! I would love to go!!

[Snaky]

You took a lot of pictures!
Sounds like you had a good time and certainly found again a lot of nice additions :)

[dashnu]

Thanks! Awesome!!!!! I get to go to the Portland Reptile Expo - Portland, Maine (http://www.portlandreptileexpo.com/) this weekend. It will be nothing compared to this show but fun anyways.

[Lori P]

I am also crazy about that white crocodile like thing... what is he? A croc or an alligator or...?? I want!!!!

[aSnakeLovinBabe]

that's an albino gator :D

[Lori P]

Wow. What was his price tag?! He is awesome, isn't he... hmmm, will hubby build me a moat....

[Lori P]

I'm also really into that white sided bull snake. He is just gorgeous, Shannon... when will you have babies??? (NO LORI, back away from the bull snake....) :-)

[aSnakeLovinBabe]

:rolleyes:you mean black rat snake? lol!!!

yes.... he is a mate for my female, Tightie Whitie, that I raised from a teeny weeny hatchling "male"! She is now over 4 feet and he is getting close to 3!

the gator was not for sale :cool:

[Thamnophis]

Great pics, Shannon.
There are some very beautiful morphs for sale.

[Loren]

Thanks for the pics Shannon, now I dont even need to go to my local show this year. :)

So, what was the deal with the 6000$ python that looked like a regular jungle carpet to me? Why so expensive?

[aSnakeLovinBabe]

lol, those guys are far more stunning than any jaguar or jungle carpet I have ever seen.... definitely a rare pair of snakes. But.... I have no idea why they were $6000 each.!!!

[Loren]

lol, those guys are far more stunning than any jaguar or jungle carpet I have ever seen.... definitely a rare pair of snakes. But.... I have no idea why they were $6000 each.!!!
Were they of the carpet python family?
