WOO! - DUW

[ruggerboi]

Well, we are finally home and somewhat recovered from our trip to Daytona. It was a 20+ hour drive each way, but it was well worth it! I was mostly looking for some nice okees, and these are what I found.

A trio from Wade's World of Reptiles.

And a pair of females from Bill Schmiedecke.

I also picked up this female high white reverse okee from Ron Tremper.

I found a beautiful female sunglow motley to fill the gap in my collection left by poor Tess who passed away earlier this season.

I had to hit KJUN's table too, and ended up walking away with a pair of zig zags.

TO be continued....

We went back to the show on Sunday and I got an amazing deal on this pair of butter motlies from Steve Roylance.

Steve, if you see this, I'm sorry I didn't say hi. I was really tired and didn't realize it was you until much later. That clutch of reverse okees I picked up from you is doing great, they eat everything that's given to them! Thanks a bunch!

What beautiful snakes, congrats on the pick-ups!

 

[ceasertwo]

aw how pretty. I just love the color on the first 2.

 

[EddieA]

Awesome pick ups!!! That RO!!!

 

[Lynnea]

Oh man, they are all gorgeous! I missed seeing a number of people and tables, even after walking around for five hours!

 

[ArpeggioAngel]

You made out with some beauties there!
And you got some from Bill! He is one of our snake friends down here in Florida - such a nice guy - although he does love to talk your ear off if given the chance!

 

[Nanci]

Excellent haul!! I wish I would have gotten to meet you!!!

 

[Retarted Geese]

This one is just lovely.

 

[ratsncorns]

That RO is just awesome! I also love those butter mots. Too bad I didnt get to meet you, maybe next year?

Great pick ups! Those Okeetees have got super thick borders!

 

[ceduke]

They all look great! Love that RO!

[The_Thunderer]

I love them all, but the RO and THIS one stand out...

I'd love to see a TON of pics on how this one progresses. I want to see how that long stripe turns out.

Yeah, I missed a ton of people there, despite being there almost until it closed. I do plan on doing the long drive again next year, though!

He seemed like a really nice guy, and he did try to chat a bit, but it was really busy, so I was saved by the crowd.

I really like all these new little wigglers, and progression posts may be required for several of them. This abberant okee was not at all what I was looking for, but when I found her, I knew she was going home with me. She's just too cool.

Thank you all for the awesome compliments everyone! :toiletgra

They're all fantastic, but the RO is a stunner! You'll have to try and do a progression thread if you can, so we can see what she looks like when she gets older.

 

[vetusvates]

Hmmm....beautiful snakes. You definitely know how to pick 'em out, and who to go to.

 

[ZoologyGirl]

All beautiful snakes!! I think the last okee pictured is my fav (the one above the RO)

Did you drive straight through or stay somewhere halfway? I'm contemplating going next year if I can work some vacation time around it...and am thinking about driving with my bf. I don't know if we'll tag team straight to FL, or stay somewhere. The longest I've driven is 9 hours straight.

 

[Memphios]

They all look wonderful! Congrats on the awesome pick-ups. The RO wins first place though!

Year before last, my gf and I tag teamed the trip the entire way there. It was brutal, but we did it! This year, we had a couple friends going with us and that made it a lot easier.

I do love this little okee, and if you like it, you might like a few in my collection. I've been gathering some for a project. :crazy01: This is one of the nicest I have so far:
