He was the most laid back lizard i have seen except when around one particular buddy of mine which he REALLY hated and took a shot at him with his tail. He was about 5 feet at the time and lucky for my buddy, he was quick. The tail put a nice dent/break in the sheet rock wall lol. I ended up having to re home him as he grew beyond my financial abilities being i was an 18 year old kid living on his own in an apartment along with a few geckos, pacman frog and a BP lol. I miss him though and still think about him. He was hands down my favorite pet especially since i got him as a little tiny hatchling who would chase crickets around the cage lol.
100% agree and I think he's selling the last of the monitors as well.
I am interested in the monitors, I actually love them but I'm not able to keep them. Too much work, which is why snakes are perfect for my situation.
I'm a bit bummed that the Vital Webpage is down completely. I liked the care sheets and descriptions that were listed there for various types of retic SD and dwarf populations.
Maybe the hobby, or at least the breeding part of it, ran its course.

I've been thinking about going to the next one. Only one thing makes me question going.
This forum is cool but a lot of the reptile community seem to be idiots to each other online. Are there a lot of those kinds of people at the show or are most of them ok?

No they all fine mate, not many people speak to each other really , there’s so much to see at the racecourse inside show ground is huge ,everyone’s too busy trying to look at all the stalls and take it all in ,there’s loads of stalls with equipment and animals ,not just snakes there
Obviously the breeders will speak to you if you have any questions

That depends on the Forum and the moderators.
I have found most forum conversation friendly.
Facebook, which I don’t have is another story.
Also if you approach things from a pet owner standpoint you are more likely to get help. Coming in and talking like a breeder seems to ruffle the delicate feathers of some. At least I have observed it watching some of the dynamics over time.
You would enjoy an expo.
