Tinley anyone?

I had a good time but the show was ALL about ball pythons. I did find an amazing pair of deppei janis for a great price. I also got to meet up with a few people and that was fun. I guess I will have to bring the pits and set up my own table next year!

While I agree that there were a LOT of ball pythons at the show, I thought there was a good variety of other animals, too. I'm not a ball python person, and I found plenty of animals that I "needed"! We had a great time at the show and can't wait for next year.

There were lots of Ball Pythons for sure, some of them crazy looking. Will Slough had 3 Bananas on his table and Kevin and BHB had some insane looking bps also. Pete Kahl had quite a few boas and Jeff Gee had his an F5 hypo trio for sale. Unfortunately some of the bigger vendors did not attend, I believe several of them did not get their paperwork in before the show was sold out. I am putting in my deposit/ap. very soon.

I think the auction went pretty well also but I wish they had a larger venue.

I came home with an incredible little super dwarf retic from Retics inc.

It was fun. Got to see a lot of people that I have not seen in years. I dropped a few dollars here and there.

lets see

Mojave Ball Pythons (GREAT DEAL)
10 Retics
10 Ball Pythons
4 hondurans
1 jungle Carpet
Some other odds and end king Snakes
And some other cool stuff.

I went there looking for a Female Pastel het orange Ghost. 1 Person had them but was asking a bit much for my liking. But Kahl has some back at his shop. The guy at his table called the shop for me lol.

The Bananas was cool. The banana Clown was just awsome.

i also seen some really nice Blue Tree Monitors, Albino Sulcatas, Craig Cade has some awesome Hypos. These things are RED. I thought IMO they were the best looking ones at the show.

Man there was so much there. I mean honestly I seen Boas to colubrids to four leggers lol. just had to slow down and look a bit.

I thought there was a good variety of other animals, too.

I agree, there was a rather diverse selection. I am fine with a show full of ball pythons as I don't deal with them and there were too many boas for sale (damn competition).

I picked up an awesome sub-adult female woma to pair off my Starburst male, a nice fat red Children's female to pair off that male, and a huge ARS racking system to replace some of my old melamine caging.

I am also paying early as I want an endcap since the booths are too narrow for me. I'll probably split it with another vendor. I've done it in previous years and it produces more sales.

Oh yeah that Calico Snow Boa that a buddy of mine had was pretty sweet too. But man he would not let me have it lol.

Everything has a price, my friend. Somehow I don't think you would be willing to pay what I want for that animal!

YOu can have John for a year to clean cages lmao.

Don't be volunteering my work for a snake. Throw in another snow and you got a deal lol.

Ha,ha,ha! That's a mighty good deal considered how many full size animals I have...that is a whole lot of snake poo!

I'll just have to keep her and try to prove out that paradox gene!
