Daytona Pickup #3 - Dumerils Boa

Back Story:
Friday night, during the CS hotel room bash, two stunning '07 male Dumerils were passed around and very much the center of attention. LBoz got her hands on the dark one and fell in love. She just had to take him home...and by Saturday he was hers! Never underestimate a woman with OLS (Ohhh Look Snake syndrome)! ;)

The lighter colored male, that myself and several others were salivating over, went into the raffle. I wanted him so badly I ended up putting 17 tickets in his box hoping to win him. But...when the winning ticket was announced... it belonged to LBoz!! Up and into the prize room she went. When LBoz emerged she had the beautiful boy in her hands. To my surprise, she walked right up to me and put him around my neck and gave me a hug. It took me a brief moment before I realized she was giving him to ME! And if you followed the Live thread from the event, to answer Nanci's question,...yep, I was tearing up.

Thank you soooo much Lori!!!!! ((((((((((((((HUGS))))))))))))))))

This is "Draco" (the marks on his head make me think of dragon horns)! He is 908 g. and will be shedding in a few days (as will the rest of my Daytona kids). He was donated to the raffle by Ty Parks (Thank you!!!). :D

Oh wow, I was tearing up a little just reading that story!

I love this community sometimes. I wish I could have been there to meet all of you.
 
Isn't Lori amazing!!!!!!!!!!! I <3 her!!! I'm so happy you got your snakie that you wanted so very much!!!
 
I was also tearing up when I read that! Congrats on the beautiful Boa! Lori is such a darling! :)
 
That was a great moment when you got him! It was so hard to get him away from you the night before when people wanted to hold him. I am so happy he ended up with you :)
 
Aww, you guys are so sweet. It was so funny...I was taking him out of the tank and he immediately spotted his human across the room. He only had eyes for Kim. :)

Those are gorgeous shots, too. I love his name. He really is quite stunning. Draco and Marquesa babies? I most definitely want on THAT waiting list!!
 
Just an FYI - and I'm sorry to be a tad off topic here - but I just repped Lori because of her selfless act saying this,
"YOU need to change the word under your NAME and your sig. You're anything BUT a curmudgeon and anti-social!! What a beautiful person you are, Lori!"

Curmudgeon... in a pigs eye! LOL.

Aww, thanks, Fred. I can't say it was a totally altruistic act. I mean, I would have paid to get him home, he would have been all depressed, looking for the first chance to escape so he could hitch hike down to VA. There's just nothing worse than a depressed, whiney boa, right? ;)

But seriously, someone must have photos of Kim walking around with this guy all night on Friday. It was sooo obviously HER snake.

* (Plus, I had the distinct feeling that Kim might have beat the crap out of me if I'd tried to get out of that meeting room with him.) :laugh:

*Attempts to look innocent* :) ME!? Do you really think I would do something like that!? :eek::dgrin: LOL
 
I don't know Lori well but...
You are an AMAZING person, I hope this will come at you in the most perfect and joyous way possible :)
 
Since my beautiful boy shed yesterday I decided to take some photos today.
