My significant other got me the back half of a male Woma Python. (Yes, the back half, lol) I bought the front end. Now I just have to wait until spring to get it!

Me too I added a pair of Albino Cape Gophers, three new thayeri females from a friend of mine (1 black), a pair of alterna out of some of my lines that he had raised up. And a pair of adult Knobs. LOL

Michelle,

Two of the three of "me" (as in me, myself and I) bought "me" a 2.2 of Lemke Brooksi from Isis for a Christmas present for "me"...Does that count? Ha! Ha!

I'll be sending you the cards from the Birmingham show shortly...

Later,
Jim.

Well, (other than the Woma) in the past 1 or 2 months I bought:

1.0 Hypo Brazilian Rainbow Boa (BRB)
0.1 Het Hypo BRB
1.0 BRB with second row of crescents (neato!)
1.4 Pueblan Milksnakes (1.2 Halloween phase)

All of these I have to wait until spring to get. It will feel like Christmas in March/April though!!!

Sooo.... yeah.... I've been naughty. LOL!

What are you getting for X-mas????

For my self, I got a pair of San Antonio line Black milks and a Mexi black female from my dear friend John.
Then my husband bought me a pair of Bredl's pythons and a trio of baby sulcata's. I still haven't seen the pythons or sulcata's. I can't wait He is keeping them at a friends. The anticipation is killing me...lol, I only know becasue my kids can't keep a secret and the 9 year old and 3 year old spilled the beans...lol

Nothing real special on the alterna, just stuff I like. 1.2 black gaps and 1.1 pandale dirt out of my light female from that locale. I sold him the dirts 4 or 5 years ago. LOL Now he is getting more than he paid for them as I need the bloodline for reconstructing my alterna after we lost them several years ago in the "Big Heat Up".

John, those are some beautiful alterna you have there. Thanks for sharing the pictures.

MichelleRogers Dec 18, 2007 10:58 AM

John, those are really nice I especially like the pair in the second photo and the last one. Is the one in the last photo that silver in person?

more so actually, the camera kind of washed her out. She is one of the cleanest Val Verde County animals we have ever owned. I like the speckled locales from the west, but am still partial to the very clean blari ( yes I know I am an old fart) phases from Val Verde County.

John

RussBates Dec 18, 2007 06:38 PM

really nice John. Those reds and oranges contrasted with the silver is really nice and eye catching.
Russ

RussBates Dec 17, 2007 04:04 PM

yeah I'm getting one but I'm buying for myself I needed a male cinnamon pastel ball to keep my female company:/
Russ

MichelleRogers Dec 18, 2007 08:58 PM

You know it is hard not to get into the ball pythons, i really love the spiders. What all morphs do you have now?

RussBates Dec 19, 2007 07:21 AM

just a few hypos, spiders, and albinos. They are almost like corns...too dang many and not enough $$ to get them all........oh yeah and they cost about 1000% more
Merry Chirstmas,
Russ

MichelleRogers Dec 19, 2007 09:26 AM

Yes, they are expensive and I am shocked by how many morph's of balls are out there. I do think because of there relatively small size it makes them fun to collect. I haven't taken the leap yet but it is tempting. The spider, pewter, and especially the bumblebee.
Merry Christmas,
