some pics from my visit to RDR........

[NiagaraReptiles]

I had the opportunity to tag along with Corey Woods down to Ralph Davis' place last weekend. We had a great time and Ralph was kind enought o let me snap some pics and snoop around Many of these animals aren't often seen in person (especially to Canadians) so I thought the forum would enjoy..............

I believe this is Ralphs Peach Ghost lineage, but it might be fromt he Peach Ghost line crossed with the Anery Ghost line.......either way a beautiful Ghost. Ghosts as a general rude are difficult to capture on camera.......these guys are a little harder because they are more pale than other Ghosts. Very pretty.

Amber Balls - These things are absolutely breath taking.........

Nice pics Jon.... what a dream come true that must have been to see Ralph's collection.

[Jeff_Favelle]

That's insane! I love the BG and the clown female the best!

[beanersmysav]

Wow those are AMAZING. Little piece of heaven right there :P, that bubblegum is my favorite though.

[malaysianbloods]

Man that albino granite is crazy, I have never seen one before, same with the bubble gum and ambers...... are they new or have I just been sleeping. Also I can not really tell the difference between the albino and lavander ablino that are in the same pic although the other lavander albinos looks awesome. Thanks for sharing all the pics.

[BoidKeeper]

That's outstanding! I don't even know what else to say. If I have just a couple of those my student loans would be a thing of the past.
Cheers,
Trevor
