Great Daytona Story!! more..

We went to Daytona again this year and once again bought way too much.We bought neodeshas,visions,racks,snakes,etc. One thing we bought was 2 cages from Jeff Ronne "BOAPHILE",we prepaid for them to pick up in Daytona.Well as most vendors do,he used them during the weekend for display,well sunday afternoon when the show was almost over I went to pick up the cages;Jeff said,"you don't mind if they have a little aspen in them do you?" I didn't mind and loaded them up in the van.We spent the night again at the Adam's Mark and headed home the next day.It's about a 10 hr drive,when we got home I got the first cage out and dumped the aspen out and cleaned it up and put in the snake room.I went out to the van and got the second cage out and dumped the aspen but a 4 ft long striped peruvian bcc fell out with it this time!! I was amazed to say the least.I now have her in a Ronne cage in the house and I contacted Jeff today via e-mail but I haven't heard from him yet.I told him that I deserve the HONESTY award of the year for this one! The little devil on my shoulder was talking to me but I overcame that.Maybe Jeff will award my honesty for this great deed.Now this awesome peruvian can go back to the "black hole" where it belongs!

I thought the same thing but luckily we were parked in the hotels parking garage instead of outside.Had we been outside the snake would have died for sure.

He was hanging up there all through the show. I believe it was an Surinam he got in a trade.

Yes,the cage did have lights.It may be a suri but it sure is yellow and has that peruvian look.

it was a Peruvian. I just got off the phone with Bill Parks who traded the boa to Jeff.
