IF YOU SAY YOU LIKE BOAS.....

sdi Sep 30, 2011 09:13 AM

Then get out to the Tinley Park show next weekend, October 8-9. I was reviewing the vendor list and there are going to be a lot of boa breeders there. I know Jeff Ronne will be there with a lot of new combos. Dr. Lucas Matlock will have some really nice PP T stuff and more. Jeremy Stone and Josh Ketchum are coming from out West and who knows what combos they will bring...WHO KNOWS! Chris Nicholas I am calling you out, you aren't on the list and I know you live close by - hopefully you are there. VPI, Gaines Reptiles, Boa Basement, Frank Martin and many other boa names are on the list and you always get some random litters from the BP crowd.

If you are a locality keeper Rob Tudehope will be there and I would love it if he would bring some of those reduced pattern BCC that were recently posted. And for a full portfolio of locality stuff, RI's very own Orlando and Joel Diaz, AKA Legacy Reptiles will be there with all the litters they produced this past season.

Nigel Marvin and the Swamp Brothers will be there as well if you want to get a little star struck.

This show looks like there will be some good stuff whether boas, balls or bloods are your thing. If you have $$$ bring it. Take photos and post them on the forums. Get to know the breeders and their projects. The better the turn out the more vendors will come. Even if you are not buying get out there and do what you love. If you can't have fun at a reptile expo then you need to go back to how to have fun school. It's gonna be a great show!

Hope to see you there!

This "RG" girl you produced is still my favorite Pastel

I have a great collection of Pastels these days and she is the crown Jewel
with my Soler Pastels, the CCS Pastel and a couple of my

a "call out".

Sorry folks no plans for Tinley this year, very busy with life responsibilities.....I am sure everyone will get to see their fair share of amazing boas....

Best of luck to all those that are going.

I am really happy you will have representation for VPI at the show! I love VPI T's. Esecially the PP's and it is great to have your name on the vendor list supporting the industry. I can't wait to meet Dr.'s Matlock & Booth - sounds like a TV show!

It was a call out in the friendliest way, not in a WEC way. I was hoping you would be there in "full force"! You always have a lot of great stuff and are a great draw for the show.

Hopefully next year!

I really want to go to that show! I need some male boas before the breeding season really kicks off. If I can go it would just be awesome to meet all the breeders, see their snakes and their setups! I'm pumped!

sdi Oct 02, 2011 08:25 PM

It's worth the trip....

I've decided that I'm definitely going! I really hope I find the boas I'm looking for. Even if I don't, it will still be a fun time. Pretty excited about it.
