Michigan events

ohh, how I wish I was back home... Dumb California!

Show coming up this Sunday again in Grand Rapids, MI. Wife and I are going again...not sure I'll be bringing home much with the aquisition last weekend, but I never know ;) I added it to the calendar here but as with last time I only remembered to do it a few days ahead of time. If my african rats keep producing like they do I might venture into setting up a table with some...snakes coming hopefully in the spring.


Kzoo your going to be there?

I'm going to be there. The one last month was my first expo and i thought it was great. Ended up with a columbian boa, a red-earred slider, and some new cages (not to mention all the critters my girlfriend picked up). However i don't think i'll be bringing as much money with me this time, as it will probably all be gone within ten minutes of me getting there.

LOL I hear ya there, my wife has to "help" me not spend to much. She usually "lets" me bring a set ammount of cash and if I don't spend it all I'm doing good. I'll probably pick up some rats so I can save the african rats I have for more breeders. I'm also trying to get another female ready to breed.


Don't forget to print off a coupon for $1 off (its on the website). If anyone wants to meet up if for nothing more than to say hi let me know here.

Well suprisingly going in just 10 minutes early, my wife and I where the first ones in. Last month there was a good group of folks waiting to get in around 15 minutes early. This time the waiting area didn't start to fill up until right about the time Zack let people in. I was getting nervous the show was going to bomb!

Some vendors didn't come this come this time since the tables where not free. Casey Hulse was one of those that didn't return...sucked to as he has the crickets but another guy was there making a killing of them I'm sure being the only one who had them. I saw lots of familiar faces and talked with some people I'm getting to know. The selection was alot less than last month and not really anything "new" that wasn't there last time. Still had fun just didn't spend as much time there this time. I bought a few rats so I can hold out on my own rodents a bit longer. My wife and I talked to the "Frog Guy" he's great we see him at alot of the shows and his animals are awesome. My wife suprisingly brought home the "addition" this time rather than me. She picked up a juv. red eyed tree frog. Pretty darn cool little guy. I almost bought a pacman frog as he had some gorgeous ones there to but decided not to. We also bought one of those aquarium "converters" that is sheet of plexi that attaches to the tank and opens like a lid. Great concept and while a little over priced we thought we would give the guy some business and re-use one of our many old 10g tanks...WRONG the thing doesn't fit right in the tanks we have. Not sure if my wife is going to call the guy or just have her dad cut it down.

Anyone else make it down? never heard back but sometime we should meet up or do lunch afterwords or something.

Haven't had a chance to be on my computer since the expo. I've been way too busy building a cage for the two plated lizards i picked up. It was a bit disappointing that there were so few venders. Hopefully the next one will have some more. Either way i'll be there, if only to win that shiny X-Box 360.

Hah good luck with that! ;P

I didn't realize the first show vendors got free tables until I got to talking to some of the guys I know. He was telling me that with the charge for the table and it being a small show people wouldn't be back when Zack started charging. Funny thing was that person was back with a table but some other more prominent names where not. Oh well I hope it at least stays steady.

hey, just getting back in the swing of things here tek... my wife and i had a baby on 11/16 so obviously i missed all those november and december shows.

i've still managed to drop a ton of money on herps and herp related equipment though in the last two months!

disconnectie@gmail.com is my email... probably the most reliable way to reach me if you want to meet up at a show! i definitely would like to go to one soon.:snake: :snake: :snake:

Great to hear from you! Congrats on the family edition! You know I had half a mind to post last week and see if you where still around. I went to the Kzoo show last saturday to pick up a female. I hadn't been to the Kzoo show months. I have been going to the GR shows despite how small and dissapointing it can be but I feel like I need to support it....maybe it will be around long enough for me have stuff to sell.

I'll save your email address and shoot you a note if you don't have mine.

hey thanks, its exciting...
so we were all set to go that last show then go to a super bowl party in GR... too bad it was -5* and 131 was closed in three places!
i'll be going to the Kzoo show later this month if nothing goes haywire.
