The first animal I saw was this neonate Rainbow Boa that Chris had purchased on-line. It certainly was a pleasant little snake, not at all nippy, at least not with any of us. |
 |
Chris also had some other little boas with him: a hypomelanistic |
 |
and a baby pastel |
 |
Scott had this lovely creature, a Pueblan Milk x Variable King |
 |
Bryan's Arizona Mountain Kingsnake, less than 2 weeks old! He says they're difficult to get feeding. I can believe it, this one is so small. I've never seen pinkies that small! |
Also present were three geckos: a FatTail gecko named Charlie and two Leopard
Geckos.
 |
Charlie, our past-president, brought three turtles: two Redcheek Musk Turtles - here's one, |
 |
and here's the other! |
 |
I never thought turtles were speedy, but this little Wood Turtle could really motor! |
 |
Here he is again, dashing right out of the picture! :))) |
I showed Peton to several of the members. Her eye has not been looking right for quite some time now - ever since before her last shed. It looks like her eyecap has a hole in it, but it doesn't. At first I thought it was just Ball Python dry skin, but she's not dry, the humidity is way up and she has a water tub to soak in and her other eyecap is not wrinkled at all. Most folks seemed to think this was a cataract developing in her eye, and that another was coming up in the other eye! Since she was found wandering "in the wilds of upper South Carolina" as an adult, nobody knows how old she really is, she might be quite geriatric by now! We can account for a dozen years, that's all.
We sat around and "talked shop" - Charlie told us some hilarious tales of showing snakes, making presentations, getting bitten and bleeding during presentations, trying to deal with a 10-foot burm that tried to wrap him - not being mean, just being snakey!
