All Exotics
« on: July 23, 2010, 08:43:58 pm »
You won't find these in your backyard unless you live in Florida ;D

6 ball python skins.  These are from 17" to 20"  I have 15 more if you like these.


Common Boa.  This skin is over 6ft long.  It has a few holes near the top but you can see in the pics that it's on either side of the saddles.




This skin is from the infamous invader of the Everglades, the burmese python.  The skin is 8ft 8in long.  Perfect skin no holes.  Potential for at least 3 bows in the skin consider the pattern and width of it.



I am always open to offers.  I am looking for straightened and spined Tonkin cane shafts. 31" long 55-65# spine.  Ipe slats, Hickory backing strips, Osage lumber, bench sander, TBB vol. 3, Leather Arm guard...And anything you might have that I didn't know I needed.

And for the couple people that are wondering "hey what's he doing posting new skins when I haven't received mine yet"?  They'll be in the mail tomorrow ;D

Let me know if you are coming up to the Black Hills, if you don't have a connection with Reptile Gardens, I can get you introduced to the curators there.  I work with the raptor rehab facility that leases space from them.

(And no they won't let me poke around in their collection or else I'd have a gaboon viper backed bow!)

 People think we are overrun with them down  here, but you seldom see them in the wild.  What's funny is since Florida has started charging $25 to hunt the problem they let happen, none have been reported killed. ??? ::)

I know they are there and that it has a potentialy negative ecological impact but I have always known that it has been hyped up past the reality of the situation.  That cold snap you guys had killed 90% of the radio tagged Burms that were there.  But yet USFG says they can live across the entire bottom third of the US....HAHAHAHAHA ;D ::)

I have a TBB3 now so that's off the table for trades.  The ball pythons are going quick.  10 are spoken for already.

if 10% lived, then that percentage will go up in the future.

True, but my point is that it's a Florida Issue, actually not even a Florida issue but an Everglades Issue.  That area is an ecological niche and Those pythons wouldn't have a prayer living outside of that enviroment.

they could probably make here in s.c., if they could live through the three weeks of winter we have in jan.  this year was rough, we had about seven weeks of winter.  the cold tolerance genes will become more and more prolific in the next thousand or so years.

Okay Folks,
All the Ball Pythons are spoken for.  And the Boa is in negotiations.  I do have the Burmese Python left.  A few people have mentioned that it is too wide, but...If you look at that skin you have an edge pattern on both sides and the center pattern.  If you did it that way you could back 4 bows with this skin.
