We are here in Chicago.............where it is warm 83 degrees. We will not talk about the several inches of snow that hit the ground in Utah this week. Winter is not my favorite season being from Southern California. But it does bring about the breeding time of the year. So even though I am not a fan of winter it does put a smile on the face seeing the first breedings of the 2012 season begin.
But here in Chicago where its warm we have a show to do. This could be the best Chicago show ever. A full house in this newly remodeled convention center. What they need now is a bigger hotel as there was not enough rooms for everyone. I had a chance to walk around the show late Friday after setting you the booth and it was good to see new vendors. Seems the hobby is expanding with new vendors at the shows. So if you have the time get to Tinley Park and see the show.

On no.............is that snow? Yes it is snow. The tops of the mountains receviced snow last night. Not much it will be gone today but looks like it is happening soon this season. Should be an early baby season by the looks of things. I for one am not ready for winter but I am ready to start an early 2012 season.

Well today was a good day at work. See I call it work but many of you may think that it is all fun. Yes we do have fun days too. Any ways got to take pics of the newly hatched Green Tree Pythons. These are the babies from Arctic Blue that I took the pics of. I will get them uploaded soon. Also took a pic of a tri stripe female. The only female we produced this season. Really in the snake room that is all I got done today. Rest of the day was spent working on the TSK SUPPLY side. Keeping the product going out to customers on time is my main concern. Any ways I will get off here and work on the pics.

The Killer Clown (Super Pastel Clown) is out of the egg! Oh and it is a male too........BONUS! Any ways if these are not in your collection you need to get them. These are one of the best morphs you can hatch out. I know there are many of them but these are so nice. The clown is just such a nice pattern that I think we are going to see many more cool clown morphs in the future. Enjoy!

Anaheim was a great show this year. It sure makes for a long weekend though. I sure wish Sunday shows only went to 4PM though. An extra hour for hitting the road would be great. It was nice seeing all the vendors again and sharring snake stories. BUt back to work now for the time being. Oh and look at the time of year time to start getting ready for breeding season again. WOW! Any ways just picked up a new camera so I think I will read the book and see if I can take some pics for you to see what has been hatching here.

YES! once again we are going to be hatching out piebald clowns. Not sure how many are in the eggs but we are hoping for a few of them. This is only the second time piebald clowns have been hatched out. So this is a new morph that is sure to be the favorite of many. Stay tuned tomorrow for an update if we can see what is in the egg before we leave to Daytona for the big show.

So today we had a clutch of spiders hatching. HA thats we we thoguht any ways. No spiders you know what we call that? Bad Odds! Yes it happens. 7 eggs and no spiders. You know what that means someone sold me a spider that is not a real spider! no no no that is just they way it goes. Maybe on aanother clutch this season we will have more favorable odds and score on something big. This is always the fun time of year waiting and watching what comes out of the eggs. Plus it is show season! You all ready for that? Heack we are finally going to be able to start showing 2011 animals. We may have a few in Daytona but most of them all hatch afterwards so Chicago will be the big showing of the 2011 animals. Look slike Mocha Mojaves we will be hatching soon. Keep a look out for them. They are the nicest white snake we produce.
