Hey,

So obviously I am from the Detroit area. Tell me a little about yourself and what you keep. I am newer to the Taylor area and would love to meet some cool people that share this amazing hobby.

Taylor show tomorrow.

Have only two herps at present -- albino rat and a pueblan. Have more T's as they take up less space and less maintenance.

Detroitboa13 · 03-07-14, 03:44 PM

Fair enough. I am excited it will be my first time going to the show.

I'm originally from the D but moved to Atlanta about 13 years ago. Couldn't take those brutal winters anymore. Good luck at the show tomorrow

I would be going to the show as well if I didn't have to work tonight.

I'd be going to the show if I had read this post yesterday :[ damn it, I missed ANOTHER one

Detroitboa13 · 03-08-14, 10:30 AM

It's ok, there is another one next month. As it turns out I will not be attending this show due to work. I am pretty bummed about it but there is always next month.

poomwah · 03-08-14, 11:03 AM

anybody been to any of the recent ones and know what to expect as far as rat snakes?

Typically, since ive been going since October, its mostly ball pythons unfortunately. There is a guy there that specifically deals with only hondos, nice collection. Some baby carpets, havent seen crazy amounts of variety but every now and then there are some nice ones, saw a file snake once was a pretty neat little thing. But as far as colubrids, you probably will be seeing milks and kings more than corns or other rat snakes.

Wasn't a bad show.

Yeah, you can't swing a dead snake without hitting a ball python. But that is simply the reality of what's "in" -- often the same with crested geckos (though I haven't been seeing as many vendors with those lately).

I'd also agree with Kevin ... not a whole lot in the way of rat or corn snakes there. Some shows there is a pretty nice selection, but that tends to be hit or miss, unfortunately.

Did pick up a P. metallica sling from a guy I know there. Hope it does well for me. Also sold a few carnivorous plants that I brought with me which covered the entrance fee and paid for gasoline.

I won't be able to make it next month, there's an orchid show in AA I'll be helping out at. The conflict is a bit of a bummer ... was supposed to bring a few plants to sell to a woman at the next Taylor herp show. Had forgotten about the orchid show until I was already home.

FYI the op was banned.

poomwah · 03-10-14, 02:20 PM

What did he do?

Terranaut · 03-10-14, 02:28 PM

He broke a few rules. The thread it was in was deleted. He is gone. I am sure he will be talking about it on another site.

Huh, a bit surprising. From most of his posts, didn't seem all that bad.

But yes DragonsEye that isn't surprising. They have good shows but yea..very ball python and crestie oriented. When I first went there in September/October there was a good number of rat snakes, corns specifically. More of a season thing I think..
