Retics kept catching my eye, but none identified as dwarf/SD so I resisted. Husband failed to resist a King Ratsnake from Zerkle, and I picked up a teeny-tiny Water Python. Pictures of them to be posted in appropriate areas.

Insanely crowded is putting it nicely; by the time we left which was around 12:30 you couldn't even get up to the tables to see what you wanted to look at. Some people were just plain rude and wouldn't move no matter how many times you said excuse me. The isle with the cinnamon bread was chaotic; although I did manage to snag a piece. We had the vendor hold onto our snake because I didn't want to risk carrying him around although I did see people walking around with snake bags. Personally I wouldn't have; I got bumped into, my feet stepped on and pushed from behind a few times.

That's fair haha I know what it's like. It's even worse if you go into a show with an idea of what you want to pick up (at least in my experience). The last time I went to the CRBE (Canada's big show) I was too busy searching for the right animal to really be able to appreciate everything. I'm kinda hoping that I'm able to pick up any animals I get this summer before the show so I'll be able to enjoy myself more this year.

The State of Illinois is why Bubba now has a band around his jars; we were talking to his owner. He even took if off for a few minutes and laid down on the floor with him; he was rubbing his snout and petting him. I seen him at the expo in Wheaton Illinois and he had the band on then too.
