2004 National Reptile Breeders' Expo . . . anyone going?

Darke, how was the FIRE show in Orlando? was considering checking it out, but never made it.
Blink, we'll talk before and definitely meet up there...looking forward to it!

the FIRE show was cool, i can't quite tell if it was bigger than FIRS in Tampa since it was split up into 2 rooms, but I'm thinking it was
out of the 3 i liked it the most, i actually convinced my sister to come, who is afraid of "creepies" :shock: and now you can't visit her w/o seeing her pet leopard gecko :wink:
Reptile Marketplace might be in that "blows" category :?
its only a single day and its small, like the outhouse of cons, but i bet i go back next time, its still a reptile show and if you find what you want, the prices are as low as they come
Boca Raton is a bit far for me, coming from Orlando i'm only willing to go as far as I-4 can take me, plus i'm thinking being a snake person its a bad idea to willing travel to a place commonly called "mouth of the rat" :roll:

Hopefully I'll get to check out FIRE next year b/c it looked really awesome. 'creepies'--cute!

Reptile Tubs, will be at the Daytona Show! YAY! Happy Days for me!
I'll be able to pick up a male ball and a nice gigantic tube for him too!! muahaha

i find this weird that theres so little talk about this show lately
umm is ne one concerned about the weather? :?
i don't see ne advisories that say theres a threat to daytona beach
but the current storm path timing certainly makes you think
when having a show, the prep work needs to be going on now
i'd rather not drive that far and not know whats happening :|

Yeah, I heard about the storm!
But I'm still going! =/

the storm will be well out of florida by the weekend. it is supposed to hit the georgia coast just after midnight tonight, so i'm betting that everything will be fine for the weekend in daytona. just be careful if you are driving there on friday.

Although Charley made landfall south of the Tampa Bay area (Ft. Meyers area) I still will not be able to attend :( It has been a crazy 2 days preping for the hurricane etc. and need to deal w/some other priorities.
However, it did go through Daytona beach but was weakened by then. I do not believe they sustained much damage there so the show should go on as usual.

OK, i will write post-con first then :P
as i was driving up Saturday morning i didn't really know whether it was going to happen
the further i drove the more destruction and Daytona really took it from Charley as well :(
If not for police directing traffic it would have been chaos :shock:
the Ocean Center did very well and the show was seemingly unaffected
good show too
i have a couple of pics that are relevant :wink:

picked up a big female BCI heres the 100in shed i got just a few days later, WOW :shock:
i call her Recon, she seems dressed for the part, plus she is a REd tail CONstrictor and i got her at a REptile CONvention, just if your wanting to know where that name came from

if you had read my sig at the bottom there b4 the show you'll notice the 2 new spider names (also bought at Daytona) and that my ball is no longer a mystery, very cool 8)
does this show have to happen only once a year? :P

That show is huge! I'm so sorry I didn't get to make it this year. I will definitely be going to the Atlanta show, and considering going to the Greenville, SC show at the end of October too.
