Fun At Ft.Lauderdale ReptiDay Show!

[danielwilu2525]

Yesterday I went to the ReptiDay Ft. Lauderdale event. It was so fun! My favorite stops we're Bonsmans geckos (Convinced me to buy a beautiful crestie later this year!!), Tikis geckos,and Morph Jungle. There we're many beautiful morphs and other animals. I held a 8ft boa constrictor for the first time! I never knew adult sulcata tortoises get that big . All in all, it was a amazing experience!! If i had a setup ready at my house, I would have so picked up a beautiful OD pied. However, when I stopped by a vendor, I asked If i could hold one of his snakes. It all went well until I see the very first mite I ever say in my life crawl on my hand. I assumed it was a might because it was small, and it came from the snake itself. I don't want to name the vendor, i don't like calling out people. I didn't want to start a scene so I didn't say anything. I think i didn't do the right thing .

Glad you had fun. Unfortunately, mites and expos are pretty much synonymous these days. This is why it's important to quarantine anything you bring home from a show and nip it in the bud.

and definitely let the vendor know about mites.
