Red Deer Show Spoils - Post yours.

[Tim_Cranwill]

Here are the reasons I came home from the show with very little cash in my pockets. :D

First it was Mark IsBell's table. It's a great place to go if you like top notch colubrids but a bad place to go if you like keeping your money! lol :D

Het Ghost Female:

And a male Grey Banded Kingsnake:

Then I gave most of my money to Kyle Kunimoto for the 3 KILLER Irian Jaya Carpet Pythons. Kyle is a great guy with some GREAT animals. I'm sure I'll be doing business with him again in the next while. :)

Male:

I tried my best not to give Jeff Favelle ANY money... EVER but he finally got the best of me! LOL :D

I'll just warn anyone considering doing business with Jeff; If you're buddies with him, he'll send you the CRAZY snakes! LOL ;) These two hondos are NUTS! But they are also gorgeous and as healthy as can be. Thanks Jeff! :)

A last minute purchase from Darwin's Oasis: (Thanks guys! :))

Het Hypo Male Honduran:

I can't remember who I got these from but I am so glad I found them. I LOVE South Florida Kingsnakes!

Thanks to everyone for letting me leave the building with such nice animals. Most of them have already eaten for me (no Mark, not the GB! LOL). I look forward to watching them grow. :)

TIM:

Very nice indeed, your love for these species matchs me in Boas. I know how hard it is to think out budget and then these venders at the show find a way to wipe you out on beautiful snakes....lol.

:)

Cya...

[Katt]

AWesome!!

The south floridas, I believe came from Bruce of Arachnophiliacs.

Gorgeous snow stripe, I'm totally jealous!! I think your female is a motley stripe, more than a stripe, but a beauty none the less.

I can't believe that mex blk is one of my babies! She ate for you already! Good girl!

[TheRedDragon]

Very nice snakes Tim! I got some nice stuff from Mark I as well that I'll be posting. :D

[Tim_Cranwill]

LOL!

Thanks guys. :)

Katt, the normal is a motley/stripe, same gene. I'd probably call her a motley too but more of a 60/40. :D And thanks for the name. That IS who they came from. :)

[gonesnakee]

THX Tim, great pics! I'll second Katt on where the Floridas came from & that the one striped female is more of a Motley/Striped (Dad was striper/mom a Motley/Striped). Notice how the snakes from Favelle are both hiding their faces in the pics, I'd be embarassed too if Jeff was my "Dad" LOL (Just kidding JF - Nice snakes!) Good Luck with them Tim, Mark
P.S. Stupid GBs! LOL

[marisa]

Wow! I like the grey banded king male (nice black face!) and the Het hypo hondo the best! Sweet picks!

Marisa

[Kevin McRae]

Great snakes Tim!:)

I especially like the striped normal and your second south flordian...she's a beauty!

[Vanan]

Here are some of the stuff I got at the show.

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v167/Vanan/Snakes/lavender.jpg
Beautiful lavender female from the man himself (gonesnakee). Got it in trade after two years of yearning for them. :D

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v167/Vanan/Snakes/Hershey1.jpg
An amazing looking chocolate striped calking. This snake is what Davis Co. dreams are made of. lol. Thanks a bunch Jim (jwsporty), who btw, had an amazing collection of calkings. Some of the best I've seen in Canada.

Not pictured is a beautiful male Taiwan Beauty and a pair of '04 calkings (het choc/albino) from Ken (Invictus). Thanks man! All three were lil riley during pic taking. :) That's it for snakes. Onto the arachnids.

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v167/Vanan/Inverts/Hspinifer.jpg
Not an Emperor scorp, but an Asian Forest Scorp (Heterometrus spinifer). Just as big and almost as weak venomed but 10 times more fiesty!

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v167/Vanan/Inverts/Cvittatus.jpg
3 Centruroides vittatus scorplings. Cute as hell! Thanks to Arachnophiliacs.

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v167/Vanan/Inverts/Cgracilis.jpg
Adult Centruroides gracilis from Arachnophiliacs.

Also unpictured is a spiderling Aphonopelma seemani from, you guessed it, Arachnophiliacs!

:D:D:D

[gonesnakee]

Wow that CKs Killer Vanan. Is it a female? I guess if it is I know what you'll probably breed it with, Mark

[Vanan]

It is a female, I think. Haven't probed it myself yet.

I guess if it is I know what you'll probably breed it with

?? I have no clue what to breed her to.

[Vanan]

ah ok! I now know. Katt's lil striper? :D:D

[Colonel_SB]

Wow nice grabs everyone :) I'm lovin the scorps Vanan.

[Enter]

u can keep snakes on rocks?

[gonesnakee]

Thats right Vanan! "Enter" the rocks are just for the pictures I'm sure. Mark

[Vanan]

Correction to my post. The one labelled as Centruroides gracilis was not from Arachnophiliacs but from Pazuzu Reptiles. Also, a few experts have brought it to my attention that it's a C. margaritatus not a C. gracilis.

[BOAS_N_PYTHONS]

VANAN:

Nice photos, scorpions......ewwwwww, I shake when I see scorpions and spiders, yet hold 7 foot constrictors go figure, lol.

Cya...

Tony

[nita]

LOL, I find the inverts fascinating but would never hold them. I have an automatic squish reaction when bugs touch me!! :D My kids also like to look at bugs but when they are done looking it is squishing time as far as they are concerned wich I am trying to stop since I'm not a fan of simply killing bugs who are doing no harm going about their business.

[Jamie]

Well this is what followed me home from the red deer show...the hogg is from Niagara Reptiles and she is awsome to say the least. Also I picked up a pair of Anery Hondurans while I was down there...they are different but very cool

[Katt]

Nice hondos!!! Are those from Darwin's Oasis??

[Jamie]

Yup....picked them up from them last minute. Now with the albinos from Jeff F I can look forward to a snow project...should be interesting

[TheRedDragon]

Cool looking scorps Vanan! I know I saw them in person, but, thos pics of them are AWESOME! :)

I myself made like a bandit at the show. I'll post pics as soon as I can. I got a female Motley Amel Corn, a female Children's Python, and a female Grey Banded King Snake from Mark Isbell. From Katt, I got a trio of Bibron Geckos. And, from Tyrone Smith, I got a beautiful female BCI. Thanks guys!

[Jeff_Favelle]

Good scores you guys! I like the equal mixes of boas AND colubrids!! Nice to see! :D

[TexasAggie04]

I am with BOAS N PYTHONS on this one. I never understand why most people have such an aversion to snakes..... until I see the scorpions in the pet store or on here. My face contorts into a sneer without even thinking about it. Maybe it was the area I grew up in, (west Texas), where I had to deal with them all the time. The tarantulas don't really bother me, I am not an arachnophobe. But scorpions..... I wish I could have gone to the Red Deer show so I could have given the scorpions a Red Wing show (the brand of my boots).
