Has anyone been to the ALL OHIO SHOW and if so can you give me some pointers where to get my reptiles from at the show and How to safely bring reptiles back about 2.5 hrs back home drive? Aaron

I go to that show almost monthly. I live in Mansfield. I have never had issues transporting reptiles back here. Most of the time, they are in deli cups. However, I usually take along kritter keepers of various sizes and snake bags/pillow cases just in case. There are some great vendors and all you got to do is the leg work to figure out which one to buy from. I do however suggest being very careful, because there is one vendor there (cant remember thier name) they are known for sickly animals. They have the tanks on the far left side along the wall, in the back. I will not ever buy from them! Everytime I have looked over thier stock, most look sick in some way, and I have seen mites a few times. Also, there are a few vendors who house way too many bp's in tanks, poor things have to pile up to get any room for themselves.To eliminate that issue, I just never buy from someone who has multiple animals housed together for the show, only buy from those who keep their animals separate in some way. But, I have gotten some good deals there and reccommend that you definately check it out. It is worth the drive.

3 bites? Get youself some gloves, man! I just use cheap gardening gloves that are gauntlet length. Very useful.

Names.. hm. Well, mine are Habanera (female version of habanero, the super hot red pepper) and Meatball (little chunker). You may want to try for a name that highlights the blood red color, or the stockiness of the snakes. I know someone with a blood named Sausage.

Hey, name it Hemoglobin!

Have fun.
