Brand New L. t. annulata...

Sunherp Jul 13, 2011 11:35 AM

I'd just like to share an experience with you fellow forum-goers. I don't acquire much new "outside" stock these days, as my collection has me pretty busy as it is (especially with all of the hatchlings I've got swarming around my snake room right now). Recently, however, I made the decision to acquire a smokin' little male L. t. annulata from fellow forum member Dave Niles to pair up with a similar female I got from him a while back.

What an absolute pleasure it was to deal with Dave again. If you've never interacted with the guy, you're seriously missing out. Nice dude, great animals. That's it in a nutshell.

Thanks a ton, Dave. You're a milk-head hero.

Here's the new annulata, right out of the box:

Your post reminds me of the one I made after acquiring my polyz... wanted to say more about how great it was to deal with and get to know Scott a little than I wanted to say about the polyz themselves.

I've never seen anything linked with Dave's name that wasn't a great looking animal... that one is no exception, congrats on it.

Absolutely fantastic new addition Cole. Of course I wouldn't expect anything less coming from Dave. The quality of of his animals always speak for themselves but like most would agree, he is one of the nicest guys around. He has the mentality of caring much more about establishing good friendships with others who share in this passion for these incredible snakes as we all do...Something I taught him early in his career..LOL.
A great guy but has a real soft spot for hot Latina women...that's why he isn't allowed to stay at my house anymore while down in Texas herping with me...Just kidding Dave, love you brother!
Sorry I missed your call the other day Cole, I am off to Colorado in the morning for a little white water rafting and a week of R & R at The Stanley Hotel in Estes Park. Talk with you guys when I get home

Thanks for the kind compliments on my new pick-up, everyone! We really are a lucky group of Herp enthusiasts, us milkheads, to have such a solid group of people.

Wow, one little deli cup annulata brought all these folks out of the wood work to say how nice looking it is? Well, it is nice for sure, and Dave Niles seems like a great guy but I'm hold out on him until I see him smoke a cigar, drink a few beers, and tell me a dirty story.
