Re: Tuscon show! Serious DU warning. Seriously.
The poor things shouldn't be stressed out like that:( Thats one reason why I never go to snake expos or bird shows....
Re: Tuscon show! Serious DU warning. Seriously.
For the record, that shirt was a beta and the ones I sell aren't actually that faded. ;) And yes, so many cute herps!! The Mangrove slayed me... Even though it was crowded I didn't want to miss a thing, I must have done like 7 laps around the place! I'd probably have done the same thing on uber crowded Sat, I'm that crazy. :P Especially as I'm sure there was more to see that day!
And I'm positive that's not how the croc is actually housed. He was there with the local Herp Society who'd rescued him, and it's basically the croc version of a deli cup. Just a temporary enclosure and I imagine the only way for him to make an appearance and be transported. I was impressed with how calm he, the gator, and so many others were. I felt more bad for the rattler who'd made a giant poo in his enclosure, but it wasn't safe to take him out and change with all those people around it so he was just sulking next to his poo. Poor thing.

Did you catch the price on the mangrove?
Re: Tuscon show! Serious DU warning. Seriously.
love that cobra and the sunbeam snake. did you catch who was selling the sunbeam snake?
also, did you see any monitors? (lol, i gotta ask)
Re: Tuscon show! Serious DU warning. Seriously.
Marshall- there were a good amount of monitors there. There was a man selling dwarfs and alot of ackies. It was really cool.
Re: Tuscon show! Serious DU warning. Seriously.
that show was nuts.. It was my first show and it was way too crowded on Sat. I was trying to get a good look at everything, but there were people butting in front of me and little people running around. I did enjoy what I saw! I was amazed at the alligator, that's insane how it just sits there!! Nice pics by the way!
Re: Tuscon show! Serious DU warning. Seriously.
The guy who was selling the mangrove was the same guy selling the sunbeams, but sadly I didn't catch the name... The mangrove was under $100 but I forget the exact amount. I don't retain numbers well. :P I remember commenting to Karen on how inexpensive the little guy was though.
I was a good girl, and all I bought was a probing kit! :D Which will remain on the shelf till I know how to use it properly!
Also, here's some monitors from the show! Karen luved em! Course her favorite was the big ol water monitor that was so cuddly. :)

Re: Tuscon show! Serious DU warning. Seriously.
That really sucks that I missed the mangrove!!!, That is cheap for a snake that is a little hard to find these days.
Re: Tuscon show! Serious DU warning. Seriously.
That vine snake is awesome looking!
Great pictures
Re: Tuscon show! Serious DU warning. Seriously.
Thanks!
And the mangrove was *easy* to miss, PJ. I only managed to see him at all on like my 4th or 5th time circling the place. He was tiny and hiding in the substrate of his tiny cup, I just happened to see the writing on it. He was the only "hot" on the table and very well hidden. I really wish I'd caught the name for ya.
