Good morning. First of all, we got through the crappy Chicago traffic and 4 hours later we made it to Tinley Park. We had the pleasure of going out to eat with Frank Martin, Bill Gaines, and his wife. These guys are hilarious, not to mention the nicest guys in the business. They were eager to share stories, give great advice, and drink a heck of a lot of beer! I highly recommend buying from these 2! They know their stuff and both practice selective breeding to better the boa.

Now back to the Chicago show. The 2 vendors that had the best boas in my opinion were Bill and Basically Boas. This show had a lot of ball pythons but not too much for the boa lover. I can't believe the price tag on some of those ball pythons!!

This first pic is of my wife Michelle, Mark O'Shea, and me. He was very nice and personable.

Thanks for looking.
