Constrictors Reptile Expo **PICTURES** Extreme Dial-Up Warning
Whelp, I spent the ENTIRE day at the expo yesterday. There were so many vendors, I barely knew where to turn first. I was shooting pictures left and right and came out with a little over 70 of them.
I turn my two adult Leopard Geckos and had them on the HISS table. The male patternless sold for $50, but the female hypo tangerine went home with Kelli Hammack, who plans to breed her with a Mack Snow male! EEE! She is such a great person to talk with. I was even offered an '05 50% possible het for Caramel Albino male for FREE since she liked the female so much, but I had already bought another snake(hold your horses, I'll tell ya about him!), and told her I could take him or another ball later on down the road. I can't wait! My mom "ALMOST" gave in :-D hehe...
About the new addition, he's an '05 San Felipe Rosy Boa and is just precious. So calm and deliberate, and just GORGEOUS! I got him for $75 from Earthtones Reptiles. I am thinking of naming him Jack, but we'll see. He even got to come into Joe's Crabshack with us for dinner! :) They didn't even realize, hehe.
I also bought some 12" hemos from Animal Capture Equipment, some large pink mice and some weaned rats from Pet Snake Snacks. I almost got another Crestie but will probably end up with one at the show in Austin on August 27&28(They were only $40-$60 and were very fat and healthy!).
I saw Olive Pythons! Many Many Many Gorgeous Ball Pythons! Retics, Bloods & Borneo Short Tails, *BEARDIES*, Corns, Kings, Milks, Pines, Gophers, Rats(Scaly and Furry), Hognose, Amphibians, *CRESTIES,* White's Tree Frogs(EEEE!! Cuties!), Inverts, *FLUFFY!*, and tons and tons of equipment, cages and PEOPLE :)
Ok, finally, here are some pictures of the happenings. I wish I had taken a picture of the expo room, but didn't think about it. The show wasn't quite as big as last year, but it was still awesome and I can't wait until next year. :) I am posting them as links so I won't have to post a 2nd or a 3rd set of actual pictures.

And that is about it. Sorry for the quality on some, the lights were a little glaring at some displays, but I think they turned out OK. I will have some pictures of my little cutie pie and Amani when he settles in and when Amani has shed.
An update on Amani, she turned a year old on the 25th and now weighs over 900g. I saw some yearlings at the show that were only 350-400g, females as well... I was talking to Kelli about her and she said that Amani is quite big. So hopefully she will turn out to be a big fatty :) Plus, she's about to shed, so we'll see if she will sit still long enough to weigh her afterwards. I got her out of her tub last night and couldn't believe how heavy and big she seemed. I remember when she got to my house and I opened that tiny deli cup and saw her itty bitty self. Awww!

Re: Constrictors Reptile Expo **PICTURES** Extreme Dial-Up Warning
They show was great I spent about 4 hours there walking around buying(no snakes just odds and ends) $4 red bulbs were a great deal, a new snake hook oh and my AP enclosures those where great. I so wanted the Blood they had at the table the Big one. I have one comment on "fluffy" what a poor obese snake. I would have to say the snake of the show have to be the Tiger Retic everyone had them for sale. all in all a good show my wife even held a snake for her first time.

Re: Constrictors Reptile Expo **PICTURES** Extreme Dial-Up Warning
Sounds like you had loads of fun there. I still haven't made it to a reptile show, but would love to go just to experience one. I can't wait to see you're new addition and pics of Amani are always great too. :D

I know what you mean Becky! I need two hands to pull my male ball python Issa out of his tub now, and the little baby girls fit in the palm of my hand :)
I should haul them all out next week (so they're being weighed on "empty") and see how much everybody weighs now.

Re: Constrictors Reptile Expo **PICTURES** Extreme Dial-Up Warning
Great pics Becky and definitely worth my wait with my pitiful dial-up. Lucky girl to be close enough to go to something like that. Someday Mike and I hope to get to go to a large reptile show but I think maybe Chicago is the closest one to northern Michigan where we live.
Congrats on the new snake! Can't wait to see pics.

Re: Constrictors Reptile Expo **PICTURES** Extreme Dial-Up Warning
I know I wasn't there to see it, but is this the same Fluffy?

If so, do you really think she's obese? Bob Clark is super highly respected, a pioneer in fact in the breeding and raising of snakes. I doubt that he'd let any of his snakes be obese.
Just a thought.
