Back from Red Deer with new additions!

[Invictus]

Well, I had planned to go to red deer and come back with ONE snake. LOL! Who the **** was I trying to kid?????

Here's what we walked away with:

1.0 Vietnamese Blue Beauty (Thanks Mark I!)
0.1 BCI (Nice big 2 year old feeding machine!)
0.1 Kenyan sand boa. This one is ELECTRIC, kinda like Uncle Roy's. Should make a nice breeder someday.

Pictures are on my digital cam, and I'll be plugging them in when I bring the cam back to work on Monday. The BCI and VBB are my fault. RedDragon was responsible for the Kenyan. :) The BCI is GORGEOUS. Very dark colors, nice tail, and low speckling.

This brings the count up to 17! Yay! I'm almost a collector! :D

[doenoe]

Hehehehe, well congrats on all the new members of the family :D
Good luck and have fun.

[Canadaherp]

yeah i cant make it out, but since my parents couldnt give me a ride, i went and spent most of my money on used audio equipment, now i have a recording studio level of equipment in my garage, but anyways, congrats and its a pitty i couldnt make it out

[TheRedDragon]

We just can't seem to EVER walk away from a show empty handed. :D We saw a few members at the show today, and, I must say that it was nice to finally place faces to names. :)

HetForHuman is a GIANT! 8 foot 10 I think! *LOL* Seriously though, really cool guy. :)

And it was so satisfying telling Favelle I hated him in person. *LOL* :D

Everyone that we ran into was just AWESOME! I hope to see you all at the Calgary show in September!

[Clownfishie]

LOL... sounds like you guys had a great time! :D Congrats on those new additions, can't wait to see pics :)

[Dragons & Balls]

I am glad U liked the BCI and it was nice meeting u!~

[BoidKeeper]

Congrats guys! Make with the pic already!
Cheers,
Trevor

[Invictus]

Sorry, forgot to give credit on the other 2 snakes. Thanks for Dragons & Balls for the BCI. She's settled in nicely, and is VERY tame. No stress problems from the long trip home. Very hardy snake. :)

We got the Kenyan from Gordon Redman. He's someone who I am definitely hoping we will see at the Calgary show, since he has some Roseys we want. :)

[HetForHuman]

LMAO RedDragon.

i am not 8'10" hehe, i am 6'3" actually. LOL

But it was cool meeting you all, and i really enjoyed myself.
picked up a new female hog island boa that i have been talking about for like the last month.

and the best part was watching Walter get his head shaved by Annette, or as she is known on the board (Nett).

good to meet you all and hopefully i can make it to the calgary show as well.

[lilyskip]

awesome! sounds like a very productive show :D

[Greg West]

The show was great. My trip there and things that happened to me before and during the first dat were not too great. I almost didn't get up there and many other things happened the first day. Low and behold I do not have any pics to post as the day started with my works high end camera being stolen out of my truck infront of my house. Sorry, no member pics. The show itself was great. Walter did a great job as usual, and the bbq was a nice touch. It was nice to meet some of the people on the site. I met Invictus, Red Dragon (kind of), Jeff Favelle, David Kwok, Tim Cranwill and of course all the people through TARAS that I already knew.

Once again GREAT show WALTER and good luck growing the mohawk and 'stache back

Greg West

I didn't get any pics obviously, but if anyone else did I hope too see some pics :)

[Lisa]

Cool! We haven't walked away from many shows empty handed either. hureey upand get some pics up.

[Bartman]

congrats on all the new additions..i love going to the show and getting new animals and than in the car your just so excited to put them in there new home and see them explore there new domain :D..is the red deer show better than the toronto show? im going to that this sunday because its the only one i can ever actually get to :( hope to go to the red show some day

[gonesnakee]

It was a good show for sure, but this ****** doesn't have any pics either because his digital was left behind in Calgary, DOH! It was nice to meet up with all the people already mentioned above & hope to see ya all again in Calgary in a few weeks. Mark I.

[David Kwok]

I would like to tank Walter for putting on an excellent show, he put a lot of thought and effort into making it a sucess. HOW does it feel to have no hair Walter? LOL

Nice meeting all of you!!!.... See you all at the Calgary show.

Dave

[Invictus]

Mark I - You know that psychotic VBB you were looking for? I found it. It's in my herp room right now. :)

[Brock]

I'd also like to thank Walter for putting on a great show. I had a good trip out to Alberta and enjoyed the show very much. I bought 1.1 blizzard leopard geckos from Diana Daoust (The Gecko Corral) if you want some geckos, I recommend her, and 3 emperor scorpions from Daniel, he had some cool arachnids. I recognized a few faces from pics on here, I know I saw TheRedDragon and Invictus for sure, and the owners of SCALES Zoo. And of course Walter, but I'm not sure if I want to recognize him anymore, ahahahaha Walter's awesome. Awesome show and I'm glad I went. Time to go watch my new additions.

-Brock

[Invictus]

So why didn't you say hi, Brock? Hmmmmm?

[Kara]

Went to the red deer show and had pry my hands away from sooo many animals!!!!! My BF went home with three little baby emperor's who are just the cuttest little things ever! I am saving all my money efforts for the Calgary show. I saw RedDragon and Invictus....sorry I never had a chance to say hi and introduce myself. Hopefully I will see you all at the Clagary show!
Oh!!!!! I did walk away with something......lots of baby rabbits for my BBC Nyoka, she is going to be so happy:)

[vanderkm]

Walter did a great job on the Red Deer show as usual - it is great that there is so much space and there were some excellent animals available this year - as well as some on display that were just unbelievable. I am not a lizard person but Big Dan's green leopard geckos were unreal, and the rainwater albinos in all their different patterns were super. Nothing topped the coral albino boas though - they just glow!

I was so tempted by the honduran babies that Jeff had but have spent all my herp $$ for this month already - so came home with feeder rats and mice to cope with the growing populations at our house where 19 corns are due to hatch next week.

Unfortunate that there are few pictures of the show - there were some spectacular animals there,

It was great to meet some of u ......But I have to admit ......I get into show mode and allot of the meetings dont compute...... :D

My pics will be coming shortly..........the best day was sunday for me .......I got the chance to help out a great cause and got to SHAVE Walters head and stach........hehehehehe :D

Walter .......be afraid .........be very afraid..... :D :D

[Colonel SB]

Resistance is futile!

[Invictus]

As promised, here are a couple of piccys! (More to come):

Here's Hera having her first meal in our care. She decided it would be fun to take a rabbit butt-first:

Here's Malice, the Vietnamese Blue Beauty. The pic sucks because, well.. this is the closest we've been able to get to him. He's a bit of a psycho right now:

http://www.invictusart.com/images/Malice1.jpg

Here's Mallory, the electric Kenyan. Somehow this pic does her no justice at all. She almost glows, she's so bright:

More later, when I'm not at work. :)

As always, thanks for looking.

[burmer]

Thats great about the new snakes. I know what you are saying about going to the show and coming home with more that you expected. The last two shows I was supposed to come home with some supplies and what not. I came home from the first one with a burm and the second with a retic and a pacman frog. Congrats on the new additions.

[Jamie]

looking good guys, it was nice to actually put some faces to the names...glad that Red Dragon and Invictus came by the table. Can't wait until Calgary

Jamie

[Tim_Cranwill]

Yeah Ken, that pic doesn't do the Kenya any justice! Still looks good in the pic though. :D

[burmer]

Wow!!! That Kenyan is unreal. I didn't see the pics when I posted. Beautiful snakes.
