Myrtle Beach Reptile Expo, Aug 11-12, 2012...

I just came back and for my first snake show it was pretty fun. I have a couple of new additions as well, which I'll post pics of in the picture section a little bit later. I don't know if I saw anybody from the forum, but you may have seen me. Tall black handsome young man probably holding my g/f's little girl the entire time...yup that was me lol.

Yep, there was at least 6 of us there that I met and talked to. Rabernet, Deborah, Fatboy, Annarose15, Denial, and myself. I was working at the USARK table. When you go to shows, don't just browse, introduce yourself. I usually ask people if they participate on forums. Trust me, we are all around you. You are not alone in your hobby... :D

Anyone have any pics they wanna share? :D

Yea, where the heck are the pics? Come on guys, get em posted. :groinkick

Deborah took a lot of pictures, I'm sure she'll post some later on.

But the BEST news of the show, is the money raised for Sean Bradley in the auction. Limey texted me last night with the final figure. $26,240!!!!!

The auction lasted 4 hours, and we didn't even get everything auctioned off. There were a couple of very high dollar animals with reserves on them that were not met that Limey will be selling at retail and putting the proceeds into Sean's fund.

The other animals that we ran out of time auctioning on Saturday night were put up in a silent auction on Sunday.

Thank you to everyone who participated or donated to this amazing auction!

That is GREAT news! Thanks for the update.

Wow that's awesome!

i had fun ,picked up a few new additions(post pics later)

Here's my pickup from the show:

This little lesser bee girl came from Fat Boy's Ball Pythons. I've got some big plans for her down the line!

In regards to the show itself, I was disappointed. It seems there were less vendors there than last year and less people attending too. I was hoping for this show to get more popular.

There were around 190 visitors listed this year, although there were some no shows like BHB. How many vendors were there last year?
