The Boaphile Lens at Tinley 2011

boaphile Oct 11, 2011 09:37 AM

I post enough pictures of my own Boas that I did not take a bunch more that you guys and gals are already tired of seeing. I'll let other people post pictures they took of my animals.

So I took pictures of the highlight animals that I saw at the Tinley Park Snake Party this 2011.

Well I did take pictures of one of my own animals with this highly attractive model I found walking the floors there on Saturday. He was gracious enough to help make this now not so little Key West girl look a little bit prettier.

Here was Larry Larry Larry Larry holding this same girl at Tinley last year.

I forgot to tell LLLL this, but on Saturday after LLLL left the show, Brian Potter got on the intercom and announced these words... "Elvis has left the building, I repeat, Elvis has left the building." LOL

I did not make the rounds in any real comprehensive way like the many who had the luxury of not working a table, but I did get to two other tables where I hear there were the most interesting Boa type critters.

First I took some pictures of Lucas Matlock's goodies. Yummy stuff!

First up a John Berry Blood Boa:

Then several Aztecs that I believe are all het Anery...

And of course several VPI Pink Panther lovelies.

I had to stop to catch my breath after seeing all those screamers at Lucas' table. Hew!

I also saw several great and great great grandkids of some of my own "Lucy" bloodline Pastel Dream kiddies that Doug Matuzack has pumped into the Sharp project. I was actually quite jealous of some of these guys knowing that I have not done anything anywhere near as crazy with my Albinos as Doug has his. Read 'em and weep...

Sharp Sun Dream:

Then a few shots of his Lavender Glow kiddies:

An Albino version which in some ways I thought was even cooler than the Sunglow version. Though the Sunglow version has the most red influence showing through of any Albino or Sunglow I have ever seen.

Here is the Sunglow critter that has soooo much red that it almost ceases to look like an Albino. Crazy!

As far as those Aztecs het anery, I'm actually happy to see people still breeding just het anery to presumably make ghost and anery Aztecs.

Usually, het aneyr goes with het albino to make snow/moonglow projects. (I am guilty of this.) As I have always said, ghost and anery are two of the most underrated morphs.

I replaced my ghost girl with a moonglow recently. I don’t regret getting the moonglow, but have lately been regretting losing the ghost.

Thanks for posting, Jeff. You're getting really good with that camera. The colors in the sunglow/lavender based projects came out really well.

That is indeed the famous LarM. When he walked up to me, I thought he was The Fonz. Ehhhhh!!!!!!

As far as the het anery goes, these Aztecs are incredible. Also, they are het ivory anery also, adding a little more flavor to that combo.

What you didn't know about LarM is that he is also the Devil

ha ha ha!

Well apparently what I didn't know about LarM would fill a book!

When I first met Jeff in person, he told me that I didn't look like what I sounded I'd look like. Though I've never heard you speak, Lar, I'd say you definitely don't look like what I thought you'd look like!

Too funny!

Nice to put a name with the face!

Yes Araon we get pictures in our mind of what we think people look like
when we haven't them or seen a picture of them yet.

Our imaginations rarely get the mental picture.

Aaron someday you'll have to tell me what you thought I looked like ?

"Aaron Voodoo"
That's awesome!
I'd be glad to tell you. It looks like I'll have to go to Tinley Park to do it though! It seems like that's the place to be!
My buddy, Jamess S., has been contemplating going out there but he's braver and more adventurous than I am.
In the meantime, let me know if you ever make it down to the Daytona show!
Thanks again, Lar!

LarM Oct 11, 2011 03:21 PM

I forgot to see if you were going to come out to Tinley.

Take care Aaron.

Always good to hear that hes doing great and also that he wasnt part of a satanic ritual lol. I have to get some pics up of his jungle siblings, they are really coloring up and if all goes well I will hopefully have some VPI T positives this coming season as well.

LarM Oct 11, 2011 06:31 PM

Wow that sounds great good luck I hope your season goes really well !

Thanks, Warren!
It sounds like Lar's quite the man!
How did you guys do with those fantastic PP T positive motleys?
That was a close call at Daytona when my wife and I discovered that we DID have the credit card and almost bought one.
I'm still not sure whether or not we made the decision NOT to.
I know Susan named that one male but I can't remember what it was...
Thanks again, Warren!

Hi,
The DDPP's are always a hit. You know, I am sure Lucas would be willing to set up a payment plan that suits your pocket. Drop us a line and we can work out a deal if you are interested.

They are getting better each time they shed.

Great pictures!! It so great to have the best boas on the planet and walk from 1 to the other, and get a full feel and look at them, for this reason shows are really important for those getting into new projects. I hope breeders and sellers agree.

McCarthyBoas Oct 12, 2011 05:28 PM

Great pictures Jeff, thanks for posting them. I was to sick to make the show this year and I really wanted to BS with you and check out your sweet boas. Hopefully I will see you at the next show in March.

Take care
Tom
