Week in review: 14th May - 21st May

Hi folks! The WIR now has a home! Made possible by Brent’s wonderful idea to have a corn snake raffle to raise funds for the personal forum. Thank you to everyone who contributed, and congratulations to Jay and PJ for winning the raffle!

This WIR is from Monday the 14th of May to Monday the 21st of May. (I screwed up the title dates)


New additions to growing collections this week!

FrizzleFry picked up an awesome lavender.

The ghost house picked up a bunch of new babies.

I aquired the most stunning little hypo pewter!

Mike acquired a bunch of normals, including big red!

Pshhh, people… your lacking in the additions. Have you guys been taking your addiction pills?! Traitors to the cause!!!!!!!!!!


This weeks corn porn! Exciting/cutting edge cultivars on the horizon and some classic pairings.

There were no pairings posted this week. But we are seeing lots of shiney new eggs and even pippies! I think its pippie season!!!

rockymonkey got his first pippies of the season

Believe it or not, I missed a number of things. Cornsnake-farmer.de's anery stripe and Liam's (SevierSerpents) amber laying just to name a couple...

Yet another fine thread filled with things I missed!
I know we're in different time zones, but a whole month? :sidestep:

Well, the morph picks were absolutely amazing this week and I think there were more of them. But I still love it all!

LOL oh dear. My computer calender says April. No wonder I am having angry phone calls about missed meetings and overdrafts LOL

I actually think Dave would be an excellent MOTM! So young, yet so knowledgeable. He already has his first clutch incubating! REally, the list of interesting people is endless. We'll never run out. Maybe one oldie and one newbie a month??

Aww, thank you so much Nanci. I posted in other thread that I wouldn't sign up for it but I am easily persuaded. :grin01:

Go on Dave, I have had a few submissions already. Some great answers, so keep them coming!

Once I have enough submissions (10) Ill make a post with their answers and a poll for people to pick a MOTM! Sound good?

Sounds great! I don't have time right this second because I am watching 24. LOL. Ill see if I can answer the questions soon though.

I will send you threatening PM's until I get your answers Mr....

I don't think you really need to poll us. Just make a decision- I trust your disgression. You'll get around to everyone in time!

Nanci

Lol, Elle. Ill answer them soon. And I do trust her decision but maybe she would feel better if she wasn't the only one making the decision. I know I would.

You may trust my disgression, but many other people may not. Who am I to decide who the member of the month should be?!

I just don't want to upset anyone by making a wrong choice in their opinion. Collective opinion is unquestionable.

But Dave said happy birthday to me in another thread! (shameless plug for belated happy b-days :spinner: ) I found: 5/16 was Suncoast Herps and Josh (Joker) on the 14th but I don't remember if you included that last time and I'm too lazy to go look right now. Just thought I'd help out a bit.
