Daytona...a few pics

bthacker Aug 26, 2006 12:58 PM

I have to say Daytona was the perfect start to my short vacation from the daily grind! Despite stubbing my toe, spraining my ankle, breaking my new camera and spending way too much money(unfortunately not on boas), I had a killer time. It was awesome meeting and talking to everyone that shares the same passion as I do, especially all you Boa folks!

There were some amazing animals at the show. It was great seeing all them in person and it will definitely fuel my fire!

This really isn't a picture post as Ryan, Celia and few others took care of that! Much appreciated by the way! Just wanted to post the few pics that I have that came out OK.
I was going to take more pics the second day but my camera had an accident .

Pretty cool scene.

Celia's Aztec....Sweet looking Boa. I would post pics of her killer Motley but the pics came out horrible. It was a nice sight though.

I forget whose Boa this was but they forgot to wash the newspaper ink off it before the show Pretty neat looking Boa!

Some off topic pics.

My good friend and my favorite restaurant! I wrote Waffle House and asked them when they were coming to California.....I got no response. Probably a good thing as I can eat alot of Country Ham...scattered, smothered covered and diced!

Herping at a Dog Park in Orlando!!! Some folks yelled to me... "be careful there is a snake nearby". Needless to say I was pretty excited to see this Yellow Rat snake.....tame as a Boa!

Black Racer at the dog park!

My Yellow Lab wouldn't be allowed at this dog park as he really likes to swim and he can't read.

Well, that's it. I apologiz for the sorry picture post...LOL Glad to be a part of the Boa world and look forward to meeting you all again someday!

A special thanks go out to Ruben and Matt for Sunday night....very cool of you guys!

It was nice to meet you and Ruben this year. I know it is a very long trip for you West Coast guys to come to Daytona but I'm glad you made the trip.

Yellow rats and black racers are part of our everyday fare here in Florida, good to see that you were able to catch some.

I am glad to include Daytona on my vacation and it was a pleasure meeting you and Kathy. Great putting names with faces!

By the way, I only caught the Yellow rat..LOL...the racers are way to fast. I really would like to observe the other black snake that Florida has and EDB's.......You guys are very lucky to live in a herp filled environment.

I had too much fun. Too bad you weren't there but there was a few bay area folks representing. Hope all is well.....BTW are you coming to the Sacramento show and setting up a table?

Mid Atlantic Morphs. I appreciate the nice PIC you posted of him The sad part about it for us is that some one liked him so much that he has to have him and called Friday to make arrangements to purchase him and I say sad because he is so unique but we can't keep them all. Thanks Scott Mid Atlantic Morphs
