Reptile & Amphibian Forums

well i just got back to FL last night. I went back home to WI for the weekend and also went to NARBC Tinley on saturday. I only took a few pics and most were well crummy pics. all in all it was a nice trip home even with all the delays and problems and ugh nothing is ever easy lol.

Maybe not easy but you did get to go to Tinley Park!!!!

What did you see there? You can't just say you went and nothing else......

0.1 soon to be wifey (Babe)
1.0 rotwiler/chow (Boomer)
1.0 norm corn (Jake)
1.0 col redtail boa (Switch, formally known as Dixie)
0.1 ball python (Bella)
1.1 Brazilian Rainbow Boa (Torpaz & Saphira)

only thing that sucks about so many "pet rock" morphs is how they got there. So many people bought tons upon tons of them and shoved as much food in them as could and started breeding like rabbits as soon as possible and with no care in the world as to how much inbreeding was going on. The whole time very few of the breeders cared about the animal and just wanted to make that extra buck (not saying all ball breeders are like that) i think things are slowly getting back to "normal" since alot of people realized oh i cant get rich selling these snakes and then started selling off the whole collection.

Tim,
...Great PICs. I see you share my very low opinion of those people who got into the BP morphs solely for the money.
Jeff

I very strongly share that opinion. There is a few people who did it for other types of snakes as well but the balls seems to have the biggest crowd for that situation.
