So we're at Donnington, in the cafe waiting for the queue to go down before joining it. Lots of people, but so far no George Clooney lookalikes - either John was economical with the truth of his appearance, or he's not here yet.

managed to get to the donny show and met up with Char and Chris it really is great to meet up with fellow members, two really nice people who have fallen head over heels into garterdom, they have been assimilated :rolleyes:
Of course it does without saying that to avoid the unwanted attention i had to disguise my self heavily as a four eyed ugly old bloke my disguise worked perfectly :mad:

So you guys now have 3 snakes? Checkered right? Are they all albino?

Come ON! Where's the pictures??:D

Try five snakes. All checkered. One albino the rest regular. Don't know sexes yet and one of them is going to my best friend once big enough to sex. Her daughters want to call it lightning. Sticking with Terry Pratchett characters, as our Albino is Binky and the cat is Mort, If all three are female = Eskarina, Bethan and Angua. If all three are male = Rincewind, Twoflower and Ridcully. We will mix and match if necessary.

We've been assimilated. Thanks John.

I was ready to leave it at an extra 3 today. But Char decided to pick out a 4th because it was pretty. :D

Added a photo of two of the new arrivals to the "So the compulsion has..." thread. I'll add any more I snap over there.

typical I don't go to a Donny show and I miss out on some albino checkereds :( I could do with finding a male sometime soon.

No, don't get excited. The only garters at Donny were the ones Pinjohn brought over for us. We already had our albino checkered.

It was decidedly disappointing on the garter front. Felt like saying "excuse me, where do you keep the really good snakes that are fun to watch, you know... Garters?? Instead of Bloated Boas and Piteous Pythons."

It was bizzarre. Row upon row of glassy eyed, unmoving boas and pythons in tiny plastic boxes, doing nothing. The lizards were cool though, lots of action from them. Has to be said, some of the stalls would have benefited from garter action. If Lightning had of been on a stall that would have drawn a crowd. That snake is hilarious and slightly nuts!!

I really don't see the apeal of ball pythons (even though I do own one lol) they just sit there and can be a "royal" pain to get feeding.
