Great pics, Psycho...and um, that iguana is actually a rock iguana.

BigSam, baby green tree pythons, or Chondros as they're called, usually go for around $3-400 if they're captive bred.

Cool pix!

I forgot to bring my camera, they had an unreal paradox albino ball python AND paradox albino boa. The jumbo bumblebee retics were awesome!

yeah they were about that..... I THINK some of the tree snakes were going for over 1,000, but not sure which ones. That's WAY above my spending limit. I think the most expenisive snake I saw there was going for 3,000. TONS of red-tails... TONS of leopard geckos... TONS of beardies.... and what I thought was funny was one table selling "B" class beardies. Some of them had missing tails. Some were missing arms and stuff. Quite funny.

And yes Sam, Mark O'shea was pretty cool. He liked our sons name (Noah) but said that he's pretty sure that mrs noah didn't let any snakes on the ark =D

Nice pictures, but.....
I have two more things to point out: the "water monitor" picture is actually an argus monitor (Varanus panoptes hornii) and the snake in the 8th picture is actually a ETB (Corallus caninus) not a GTP/chondro (Morelia viridis).

was O'Shea leaning on a cane in the picture? it seems I have not seen his show on TV for some time.....maybe our stations just don't carry his show or he got cancelled.......

Wish I could have made that one. That gtp table set up is most likely chondro coalition. I've sen pictures of their set ups for shows on other sites. Oh, and that red tegu doesn't look obese. They are normally heavy animals for their size. It's a beauty.

You must've missed Bob Clark's table and Constrictors Unlimited's table as well...

Bob Clark had a 5-egg clutch of Genetic Stripe Retics (first-ever, I think?) that were actually hatching while on display!! Price tag was 20 Grand each on those.

There were a ton of Balls there in the $12K - $15K range too.... piebalds, super pastels, etc etc
