Shannon- THANK YOU THANK YOU.....

[mtolypetsupply]

thank you thank you thank you, ad infinitum!

I met you and got two florida blues from you today at hamburg and am so happy to have them! I'll PM you tomorrow as I have a few questions, the atmosphere was so hectic there, I felt really rushed.

I'll post pics when I take them, right now they're doing fine and settling in.

I was thinking of naming them Seminole and Okechobee, but if anyone has other Florida-Native American-influenced suggestions, they are not official yet, I'm open to suggestions!

Thank you thank you thank you and thank you again!!!!

i was there today with my daughter (10 months old) man was it hectic, alot of beautiful snakes tho, sadly i didnt find any garters worth buying but i didnt get to see them all.

[aSnakeLovinBabe]

lets see those pics :p

[drache]

hey
I got a sib to your Florida blues and I'm quite happy

really good meeting you Shannon

[reptile3]

Congrats all... I wish I could meet Shannon. I am getting a FL blue too from her! I can't wait!!

[ssssnakeluvr]

you are very welcome :D:D

lets see those pics :p
speaking of pics, I'm waiting for them too......lol!!!! :D

[mtolypetsupply]

NetBSD, we had our daughter with us too. She just turned a year on Friday. What a challenge with all those people, she kept grabbing everyone and everything in reach! Needless to say, we didn't get very close to the HOT booths, just in case!!!

Hopefully, I'll get some pics posted today. We have to go to hubby's Granmother's B-day, and I have a zillion things to do, and don't want to wake the kids (human and slitherin' alike) right now. If not, look for pics of ????? and ??????? Monday.

And I'm still taking suggestions for names. My dad said something like Lucie (for Port St. Lucie) and Pete (St. Petersburg, and his name is Peter, I think that's why he's partial to that). I've read that the Fl. Blue is a color morph, not a region specific thing (is that true?), but I think I'm going to keep in the Florida region for names anyway.

And Shannon, which one had shed, the boy or girl?????? I forgot in the commotion of the show, and my excitement to become a snake mom!

:)

I'm considering "Babe" for ours - after Paul Bunyans blue ox - because I want her to grow big and strong, and who cares that she's neither male nor castrated - most people will probably think I've named her after a pig anyway

[Garter_Gertie]

Rhea, I never thought "pig" when I read you wanted her to grow big and strong. I knew immediately to whom you were referring! :)

Wow! Sounds like you guys all had fun and so cool you all could meet!. That is such a wonderful neat xtra of a forum. Lucky guys.

Looking forward to pics of ALL Shannon's offspring!

[drache]

Mikhaila thought I picked the name as a reference to Shannon's forum user name
that works - a name with two associations

[Garter_Gertie]

Oh! GREAT idea! A tribute and a phrophcy! Very nice.

[snakeman]

I was at the show.A lot of stuff was overpriced.The best one that comes to mind was the $200 "flame".Barely any color on it.I wound up coming home with a albino eastern kingsnake.Trying to find NJ locale eastern kingsnakes.Some guy was misrepresenting some there.I was'nt biting though.I catch them all the time in jersey.They were not from jersey.

you going to be there Shannon? if so ill keep an eye out and see what ya got :)

[aSnakeLovinBabe]

will be there.. but not vending... I sold a lot more than i expected and therefore no longer will need a table! hooray!!!

until next baby season of course!!

[drache]

I saw that flame - had to look real hard to see the colour
therubrilineatus at the same tablehad no red whatsoever - in fact I could have sworn they were justregular sauritus
did you end up seeing those, Shannon?

[mtolypetsupply]

Ok, here they are.... James (after Jimmy Buffett) and Ernestine (Ernest Hemingway).

Again, Shannon, THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU. I love them!!!!!!

:)

[mtolypetsupply]

Shannon,

I tried to PM you but your inbox is full. If you'd like, you can email me- mtolypetsupply@netzero.com, but for now, I'll just post here.

James and Ernestine are settling in nicely. They seem to like their new habitat, have found the water, and enjoy burrowing around in the substrate.

As I said, the show was very chaotic, and with my daughter there, I was far from focused. Sorry.

I don't have other snakes, so I don't have any routines or methods in place for what I do already. I'm a blank slate! So, please do let me know exactly how you want your babies cared for. I mean, I know the bare minimums required, but I may as well be consistent with what you have done that has worked so well for them so far. So email or pm or post or whatever, so I can provide James and Ernestine with allthey need!

:)

[drache]

for some reason I can't see the pics

[Lori P]

Just the dreaded red x's...

[mtolypetsupply]

I stored the pics at KodakGallery, then put the address on the "insert image" popup window. Any suggestions for my pic posting?

:)

[mtolypetsupply]

Ok, we'll try again:

[reptile3]

[Garter_Gertie]

Ooohhhh.... I REALLY like the octogon-like patterning! Very very striking as compared to the Pugets that are striped.

I got Winnie, at the park, the same water dish!!! :)

[Garter_Gertie]

Shannon, they are the cutest! Really nice babies!

[aSnakeLovinBabe]

awwwwe... theres my babies!!!! haha i LOVE getting to see pics of them from other places! sorry my box was full, I fixed it! so glad that you guys are so fond of them... I had a lot of fun raising them up to be the feisty little devils that they are. They should take their food stuck right in front of their nose... and they should eat any darned thing you show them!
