When you get a major snow storm....

We are getting a TON of snow today, so I finally got some new pictures taken of some of my collection. Here they are... Dave style!

I stayed in my jammies all day, but I had to get some pictures of the snow outside my house.

Here's my back "yard". My car is back here somewhere....

The front looks like this...

Normally you can see the capital at the end of the road in the picture above, but not today!

I dug a hole in the snow to see how deep it was. All of these pictures were taken at 4pm today, and already at least a foot of snow has fallen since 5:30am when I got home from work.

We shall see if I make it to work tonight. YUCK!

SNOW DAY no work for Aubrey j/k unless you want to go to work to pay the bills or maybe Ian will let you slide hey where are pics of the chameleon (you almost pulled one over on me)

waspinator421 Feb 06, 2008 10:24 PM

Whew!!! I made it to work! My car wouldn't move out of my parking lot because they still haven't plowed it, but someone from work who had 4-wheel drive came and got me. Well... I've moved 2 planes and now I'm done. LOL.... well I have one plane that will land in about 45 minutes, but that's it. The airport is quite dead tonight, aside from the ballet of plows on the field.

Hmmm.... I think I'll watch Star Trek in the Pilot's Lounge tonight!

Oh, and Bob, you caught me! I actually did think about taking some Chameleon pictures for you, but never did. I'll get some eventually... I promise!

Aubrey and Tim, y'all both have what should have been keepers and Bryan does make some nice ones

TimS Feb 06, 2008 09:11 PM

cant keep em all hehehehehe well unless your dave lol hahaha lol im glad bryan let em go i need to get more rainbows some day tho have a nice lil collection of select few boys and girls

strictly4fun Feb 06, 2008 09:17 PM

I've exchanged a few e-mails mostly about bci though and I try to plan on picking up a pair this year from him if I get one of the first picks that is cuz he doesn't do waiting list just money which I don't particularly agree with but then again the site hasn't been updated in awhile but then again he has much nicer snakes than me and a website so is he really doing that badlol I plan on a couple of light and nice orange ones and some potentially lethal looking ones from Dave especially that Fred and Wilma litter, I hope they spit out a phenomenal female and Dave says I already Daisey and one from last year, I better just put a high price tag on this one and sell her to Bob hell yeah that's what I'm thinking
Bob

TimS Feb 06, 2008 09:19 PM

thats the way to do it nothing like false hopes and dreams lol

strictly4fun Feb 06, 2008 09:22 PM

I'm for real, I don't think Dave will keep another female from the same bloodline but he may very well so I hope they make Bam Bam for him and two females anything that looks nice in this litter will be at my house for quite some time

waspinator421 Feb 06, 2008 10:36 PM

I'm just glad that Bryan produced him and not Dave. Dave would have kept him for himself!

waspinator421 Feb 06, 2008 08:07 PM

Again, the color is just not quite right. Some make him look almost brown even. He has gotten a bit darker since the summer as well, though, but still a yellowish color to me. I don't know... something about the lighting in my house seem to affect the pictures of my larger snakes. I can't wait til it warms up and can get some natural lighting again.

for the lighting Aubrey, you may want to try a couple of GE Reveal bulbs-hope it helps you and thanks for taking pics but you took a lot of this guy
Bob

waspinator421 Feb 07, 2008 07:01 AM

She is turning into a high orange isn't she... or would it be called light orange? She was more of a yellow when I got her, but has been getting more orange with each shed.

I always thought of the high oranges to be a deep rich orange, but she is just light. What do you think?

Amethist is hot and her and Flax are sure to produce some smoking babies!
What can I say about Russet. I bought a male from Brian right after Mike bought the last female. I think he only had 4 or 5 left to choose from and the one I got looks about the same as yours. It must have been really hard picking yours out when Brian had a lot more and there wasn’t a bad one in the bunch. It’s going to be interesting to see how these develop.
And Paisley, she’s looking good! I would like to pair her with that abby het hypo I got from Mike Lockwood. I think they could produce some interesting looking babies.
Now, how about some more pictures of that hot Woma.

Dan
