Can someone recommend an event/breeder....?

kingofrain21 Apr 27, 2004 01:57 PM

I currently keep two corns and am looking to add something a bit larger to my collection. I am looking to stay inside the 8 foot range (absolute max) - would prefer to be around 6 feet... The two species I really like are the brazilian rainbow boas and the hogg island boas (i know they are very different, but I am confident in my ability to control environment etc. and am sure that I could manage either snake) --i have successfully bred my corns two years in a row (which i understand isn't exactly rocket science, but i have good attention to detail when it comes to my herps!) -- I live just outside chicago and am hoping someone can recommend a good breeder or event that i can attend - lee watson's reptile swap isnt' exactly the swankiest place to purchase an animal (no offense intended, i love it)- but there isn't a great selection. i have noticed that there is a midwest reptile show in indianapolis, but i want to get some advice before making the three mile tour -- any suggestions would be great!
ps, i'm looking for the lightest (whitest) hogg island i can find, or a good strong orange brboa -- thanks!

For Hoggs I would recommend:

Gus @ Rio Bravo Reptiles
or
Mike @ Basically Boas

And for BRB
WHRI-Guy Clark, he has some screamers

They had a location in Oaklawn. I believe the have since added another location. They use to keep up a good selection at breeder/herp show prices. Might be a good place to "windowshop".
All the best,
Perry
