Hi all!

So, I was the White Plains expo yesterday and got some nice pics. Thanks for looking!

I’d like to bring special attention to the first animal I’m showing. I’m pressured by loved ones to refrain from buying more snakes at the moment, but it’s not a financial issue so when I get tempted, I get very tempted. Anyway I was so very close to coming home with one of these beautiful “Supernova Jag” Carpets yesterday, they were the best looking snakes there besides Spot’s ancestors, if I was alone I probably would havehttp://www.lilwaynehq.com/forums/images/smilies/cry.gif:

Another nice-looking carpet, ocelot jag:

As for Ball Pythons, interestingly enough, my girlfriend (who does not know what morphs are) and I cruised around and she took a look at every ball there. After giving the BHB table a full look-around she points at what we would call a “nice looking normal” ball on the bottom shelf and goes “wow that’s pretty! That’s my favorite!”

I would have never taken these pics or known what I was looking at if it wasn’t for this site.

Great pics! Looks like it was a really good show. As for my favorite, I am going to have to go with that adult supernova jag. That snake is nice and looks super reduced from the pic.

Looks like you had a good time and saw some nice carpets ;)
And thanks for the ball python pic, always my favorites!!
The big piles of savs are kind of sad though... So many of them!

Best carpet turnout I've seen at one of these shows, I have no idea how I walked out snakeless.

Also, you wouldn't believe how many wild caught Ball Pythons they were selling. Yes, clearly labeled Wild-Caught. There were piles of them too, going for $20 each I think.

Awesome pics, I actually picked up a carpet from Mike Curtin there yesterday(the ocelot jag's owner). I am a bit mad at myself now for somehow missing that Supernova.

The stall with the nova jag and the bright jungles was not Mike Curtain, I can't remember the name of the breeder but I took his business card, I'll pm you his name this weekend.

The Ocelot belonged to Mike Curtain, and it was for sale. But I have to say the stall mentioned above was more impressive in my opinion, and priced fairer.

I also saw Pete (who bred Spot) and he had a couple granite hatchies that were nice and green like Spot.

Imagine breeding one of those Supernovas to Spot...

i'm thinking it must be a close friend of Mikes,being able to get their hands on the ocelot jag ;)

glad to see your thinking about breeding spot,to something around the same high quality mate:)

Mike's Ocelot offspring were EXTREMELY NICE. I think the supernova jag's were Best Boid's but I'm not definite. East Coast Serpents, just to the right of Mike Curtin had this insane jag with a crazy abberant pattern in the black. Wish I snapped some pics.

I was too busy being hands on haha. Mike let me hold and check out a few. Nearly Bought a striped male for the girl I bought off him last year but he wasn't quite right. Her future mate needs to be stunning.

I only got one shot of my new carpet so far, want to let her settle in for a week or so before I take some good pictures of her. She is the jungle jag sibling I got from Mike.
http://i.imgur.com/gCt2j.jpg

As you can see, she was not in the mood for pictures! She is in one of the fake plants in the enclosure, I have only seen her hide in those and up on her perch so far. Have not seen her use one of her normal hides, but I guess as long as she feels comfy behind the plant.

I think it was marked at $1200 (american $, in the the states). Mike Curtain works with them.

Nice carpet, sarrix, good luck taming him down too!

Haha, thanks! My first snake was a corn, who is as gentle as a puppy. This should be a fun experience getting my new girl used to me, nothing less then what I expected though!
