Yup :) ... like I said the other option wasn't going to allow me to travel my snakes home :o ... so this is better for me (even with the night in the train station on the way back lol :D

[reptileparadise]

Thats awesome! And it might be much easier for you! Dutch public transport sucks....

[gregmonsta]

So no other brits going then :p .... sheese .... what a let down :rolleyes:

[gregmonsta]

10 days to go :D .... #starts bouncing off the walls (just as well they're padded)#

[reptileparadise]

hahaha, don´t wanna know what will happen friday before the show!

Quiet topic by the way. Not even yanks reacting :p

[gregmonsta]

They just don't know what they're missing :D ... I shall be taking pictures and video for all to see :D ... :rolleyes: fancy an interview?

[reptileparadise]

....as long as there's no camera pointed at me!
(I actually had to tape myself interviewing someone as homework...silly schools!)

I'll see if I can bring my camera as well. I always seem to forget it at reptileshows...

[gregmonsta]

Hehe ... I hope I won't forget mine in the excitement :D it'll be my first show and I can see myself walking in constant circles :rolleyes: ... it will be very interesting to see all the garters on display and chat with the EGSA posse as well .... :rolleyes: the venemous room should be interesting too (I might need a minder to contain myself trying to set off the rattlers or freeing a mamba for some 1 on 1 time .... :o ... ahem .... :D just kidding).

[reptileparadise]

It'll be nice, trust me on that one!
There'll be a nice bunch of garters. I for one will be displaying my holdback red sideds, lets hope they don't go in shed just before the show!

The venemous room is awesome! Those snakes are just sooooooo beautifull! Even though most are tiny, they still demand respect. Really weird, but very cool!

[count dewclaw]

Quiet topic by the way. Not even yanks reacting :p

No, this yank is justing pouting in the corner because I can't even consider going.....:(

[gregmonsta]

I've almost perfected my teleporter :rolleyes: you just need a microwave and a mobile phone and about 2 square miles of kitchen foil ;) .... nine out of ten times you don't materialise inside out .... I promise :D

[count dewclaw]

Oooh, just let me run to the store to get the aluminum foil.....won't take long.....should it be regular or heavy duty?:rolleyes:;):eek:

[gregmonsta]

The heavier the better :D

[zooplan]

I´m also still wondering to go.
Although I´m no Brit too, I would be at least a foreigner at the show:D

[gregmonsta]

Aha .... :D Jemand mit dem Ich mein Deutsch ueben kann.

[reptileparadise]

Uh..what?
Quite surprised by your German Greg...I've seen it a couple of times on the EGSA forum as well.

It would be great having you there Udo! Its quite a long trip, but with all gartersnake enthousiast it might be worth while!

Only about a week to go people!

[Mommy2many]

We can only dream and live it thru your eyes...

[reptileparadise]

We'll meditate!

6 more nights....

[gregmonsta]

We'll meditate!

[Thamnophis]

That's a lot of snakes to lug around. Just swing over to the Ranch and drop them off. I'll take good care of them.:D

[gregmonsta]

I'll have lots to drool over :D ... Steve, you should get your teleporter built and join the fun :D

[reptileparadise]

Unless you plan on buying me some diamondpythons???? :D

For all others
Wat voor soort slang is dit = What species of snake is this?

[Gijs & Sabine]

If it was that easy, we would have already visited you, Steve ;)

[gregmonsta]

Unless you plan on buying me some diamondpythons???? :D



Ik versta je niet. :p

[Gijs & Sabine]

Wow :eek:, you're prepared for the show!!

[gregmonsta]

Wow :eek:, you're prepared for the show!!
So I quess we can speak Dutch with you sunday ? :D

:rolleyes: Spreek je Engels? ... :D I'm up for trying ;) but it might take more to get me past some basic phrases. My singers girlfriend is Dutch so I've had a little help.

[reptileparadise]

Haha, thats awesome Greg!

2 more nights...

[gregmonsta]

:rolleyes: and the long journey starts at 6.45am tomorrow :D ... I won't be back online for a few days :rolleyes:. See you at the show .... or see you next week :D I promise tonnes of footage!

[count dewclaw]

I hope all of you who are going to the show have a great time!

[reptileparadise]

All snakes are packed and ready to go!
woohoo!

[zooplan]

That was a great show.
I think, I´ve never met so many members but at the EGSA meeting!
It´s a shame but I´d forgotten my camera in the car,
so you´ll have to wait for some photos from the others.

[reptileparadise]

Had a great show! But unfortunatly didn't have a lot of time to take pictures....
1 or 2 will follow in a few minutes!

[reptileparadise]

One hall

My table
http://i155.photobucket.com/albums/s285/reptile-paradise/DSC_8275.jpg

I'm sure Greg will have some more pics :D

[adamanteus]

I so wanted to be there this year. But it wasn't to be. I'm glad it was a good day for the rest of you. Anything especially interesting to see?

[zooplan]

Do you really want to know, what you´ve missed, James?

[Stefan-A]

And our pathetic little pet expo is three weeks away. :rolleyes: I think I'll film it, just to show the world how primitive the hobby is here. It should take about 17 seconds to show every herp that's present.

[adamanteus]

Do you really want to know, what you´ve missed, James?

Yes, Udo. I want to know!:D

[reptileparadise]

Steven Bol had some amazing species with him...
There was a nice selection of more common species, but that was about it I guess...

It was a fun day. Seen a lot of people, sold a bunch of snakes and only took 0.2 blue pickeringii back home...(and some unsold garters offcourse...)

[adamanteus]

Steven Bol had some amazing species with him..

Come on, Sjoerd! More information is needed!:D

[reptileparadise]

I haven't paid much attention to them *shame*

The temptation would have been way to big!
eques obscurus, scotti, canescans, quietzoensis and more (don't mind the spelling...It has been a looong day...)

[adamanteus]

Hopefully someone on here will have taken photos of this lesser known Thamnophis species.:)

[zooplan]

I saw also proximus, sirtalis( also melanistic), similis, marcianus (albino and granite), lots of tetrataenia, fulfus....
Stoped countig tabels with Thamnophis by 15...
but bought nothing:D

You forgot the best table Udo!
Parietalis, cyrtopsis cyrtopsis, sirtalis het. melanistic, tetrateania and atratus atratus!:D

[Snaky]

No photo's here, but I also liked the show a lot. Sold 5 snakes myself, met a lot of people and there was a very nice selection of garters. Bought nothing but mice, though. :)

[gregmonsta]

Hopefully someone on here will have taken photos of this lesser known Thamnophis species.:)

:D Uploading video as I type ... there's a Steve feature just for you :rolleyes:
Hey everyone :D home safe and sound. Currently allowing the newbies a rest but I'll try to share them with you in the next couple of days ;).

Prima Slangendag :D

[gregmonsta]

Sorry guys ... vids too big :( ... I'll upload a two part edit tomorrow :D

[zooplan]

Recycling again ;)

I´m looking for a courier to the UK.
I expect to see more Thamnnophis in Houten than in Hamm...
and it´s closer to the English Channel. ;) ;) ;)

[GarField000]

OMG Udo, this thread is 2 years old :D
You may start a new thread you know? There's a button new thread somewhere :D

[kibakiba]

Udo recycles threads, rather than creating a whole new one.I do this too sometimes with my own threads.

[zooplan]

Never mind, when a thread did start !
http://www.thamnophis.com/forum/images/green/misc/subscribed.gif http://www.thamnophis.com/forum/images/green/misc/paperclip.gif (http://www.thamnophis.com/#) http://www.thamnophis.com/forum/images/green/buttons/firstnew.gif (http://www.thamnophis.com/forum/garter-snake-lounge/1293-its-oh-so-quiet-shh-shh-new-post.html) Its oh so quiet Shh Shh (http://www.thamnophis.com/forum/garter-snake-lounge/1293-its-oh-so-quiet-shh-shh.html)

began in 2007, isn´t it still burning hot?

We have 8391 threads by now, lots of themes turn up frequently.

"Sleeping" members may still be subscribed to these old themes and may get remembered about the good times they had here once.

So there are two advantages in recycling: Reaching more members but creating less threads to search for those, who are looking for informations.

Last but not least there are some nice pictures in this thread showing the plenty of space and nice atmosphere in Houten.

[GarField000]

I saw also marcianus (albino and granite),

It would be awesome if I could find a granite this year.
Also I'm looking for a cyrtopsis ocellatus male.

[scorpion0151]

do they ever have any albino red sided there? I'm a bit late to get a passport sorted this year but I will have to try and get to a show next year :)

[Thamnophis]

I will be there too.
A lot of snakes are already spoken for and sold.
But on my table you can find some T. a. atratus (2010 [males] and 2011),
T. hammondii [males and 1 female] (2010), T. sirtalis tetrataenia (2011), T. melanogaster canescens (2 males 2010 and 7 females 2011).
