Reptile & Amphibian Forums

Our buddy Tim Osborne was downsizing his collection and contacted me to see if I'd be interested in any. I told him Yeah, but only ht ebest he had to offer. pics back and forth, several pleasent conversations later, I settled on a small group. All Will Bird babies, Mostly from 2007 and one male from 2006. They just came in today......

Please excuse the pics, taken in the living room with crappy lighting. Also, they were all cold and in dark phase trying to get/stay warm. Will get better pics once they settle in.

Box just opened first peak..

Spread out all the tubs

The 2006 Male, This male has serious crescents and bullseyes, they look browned out though. Not sure how much is he's cold vs. a general browning out, I suspect some of both.

2007 female "12", a classic WB baby, thich full crescents, some stretching and joining with adacent patterns

2007 male "14", Talk about abby, this guy has lots of co-joined crescents and blotchy ones as well. A very cool looking BRB!! IMO easily the best of the group for pattern. Color is a bit dark, but then again, if it was stunning color as well, Will (and Tim) would have never parted with it!!

And 2007 Female "15", Seriously bold crescents and color to boot. The better of the two females at first glance. I didn't mess with them much.

Thank you,

Dave I don't remember which one of Tim's he had but one of them had dissappearing crescents awhile back, you remember and if so is that the 06 you got? No breeding loan now lol cuz you might have Genevieve's mate in a few years with that abby male. BTW who own's more Will Bird brb's, you or him
Bob

Bob - I still have the girl w/ the dissappearing crescents..
and Dave has more of the WB stock then I do now, I do still have several of his brb's though.

What you thought about the Hollywood vs. Rampage match. Hollywood got outclassed on the ground and didn't seem to have much stamina as Rampage. Now if they met at 195 or even 190 Hollywood would run that I can't wait to send a Anderson Silva vs. Hollywood match even though I like Silva a lot I think Dan might ge him. Alexander Houston light heavyweigt at 205 seems like a killer striker but very cocky, too much for my liking but exciting nonetheless. Matt Hamill had that decision in the bag but gave it to Bisping WTF!!! Michael needs to drop weight along with Rashaad Evans and Forrest Griffin from 205 to 185. Who do like in Din Thomas and my boy Kenny Florian who would be at in a 145 class.

I don't think either were outclassed.. but Rampage had a better night. I hope hendo seriously reconsiders the weight thing and moves down to 185 now.. He will own that weight class. Him and Rampage will be a fun rematch down the road though.. or he and Chuck could be interesting - and Wanderlai signing makes things a lot more interesting at 205.

Hendo and Silva has potential to be fun as well. Hendo has a tendancy to get over confident in his standup though, and with a guy like silva.. that may be a huge mistake.

I do think Silva is going to whip Franklin again.. in front of a home town. I like Rich a lot, and think he will do better this time around, he is a lot healthier and is a very smart fighter...

Houston is a stud. Monte (his manager) will hold him back for a bit until he is ready. He will make some waves for a while though. The cocky attitude will sell tickets, so expect that to get worse. People will like it or hate it, but everyone will form an opinion of him and want to watch him fight (even if it is w/ hopes of seeing him take an "L" on that record.

Hamill won, I have judged lots and lots of fights, and watched 1000's more.. that is the worst call I have ever seen in my life. It would have brought the house down if it went the other way.. I guess that is what happens when it leave it up to the judges while fighting a home town boy in a foreign country.

I think Rashad should drop after the tito rematch (even though I think he will beat tito this time). Forrest can't/wont go to 185 though. He is training like a mad man right now and I think he has a great chance of beating Shogun.. It is certainly the toughest fight of his career.. but he seems to rise to the challenge of being the underdog well.

Florian is got some sick skill for sure, and he may be able to catch Din.. but I don't think he will. I expect it to go the distance in a close match w/ Din getting the nod at the end of the fight. Saying that.. anytime you are on the mat w/ Florian.. there is a chance you are going to sleep.. So - that is not one I would bet money on

I doubt they show it on TV, but on the same card - Hazelett/Goulet should be interesting.. I have been watching Hazellett fight for a long time and he is very slick w/ the submissions.

Very cool! Looks like you and Tim won't be doing the breeding loan with that aberrant male and Genevieve after all! I would love to see what those two produce, though I know she has a busy schedule for many many years!

Sheesh Dave, you're gonna fill up all your baby bins with other peoples babies!! What are you gonna do when they grow up? LOL!! I'm sure you'll convince your wife to turn the master bedroom into the Rainbow Boa room.

Yeah, why go through a loan when you cen just buy the other and keep all the babies every year???

Already planning on expanding into the garage and moving the BCI out there. Maybe this winter?
