New Port Richey (FL) Repticon?

Is anyone heading to the New Port Richey Repticon this weekend (December 1st and 2nd)? Outside of me and my herd, that is -- I'm taking Nicky (he insisted), my babysitter, and her little brother. A good time should be had by all.

My plan is to leave without purchasing anything that currently breathes. We'll see how that goes. Hopefully the whole "You're a responsible adult and seriously, do you need five snakes right now, this moment?" part of my brain will kick in.

This part of your brain is evil and doesn't want you to be happy. FIGHT IT!! :rolleye2:

Heeee!!! Honestly, it doesn't help that my husband says "Whatever makes you happy" when I ask him about moving more snakes in. As long as it's neither avian (loud and messy) nor feline (he's allergic and to be fair we already have 3 cats, poor man) he's flexible :D

We'll be going to the Orlando repticon on Dec 15-16th but not the new port richey one. We're east coast, so Orlando and Daytona are the only ones we hit normally.

I don't plan on getting anything breathing...but who knows ;)

I was all excited about the Orlando Repticon but it's the weekend I'm going up to NYC to visit my sister! I was momentarily bummed but I recovered. I can't get too sad about visiting New York (and my niece, age two -- squeee!!!)

Yeah, this whole "go to reptile expos and leave without additional lifeforms" thing is tricky. I'll report back and let y'all know how it went, LOL

Well, we went and it was really quite nice :) I got to hold a baby male Dumeril's boa and all I can say is my husband is VERY lucky I have massive amounts of self-control :P We ended up leaving with no other breathing mouths than those with which we came.

And my friend, whose 17-year-old daughter and 10-year-old son I took may never speak to me again, because they've been bitten by the snake bug. Hee :D

My herd is going to the NPR Repticon tomorrow, since I had to work today. I had emailed Micedirect to reserve some rats, but they responded that they are no longer attending. Did you see any other venders with feeders? I'm going to take a cooler just in case!

I think the feeder vendor was Feeder Source? I'm not entirely certain, but there was definitely someone there selling frozen rodents!!
