:rofl: I looked them up & there's more than one- in N.Y. they're a frozen feeder business, but in nearby DC, MD & VA, they're a traveling petting zoo. Catchy name either way.

No. The only thing that came close was some cage lighting. I decided against it because I don't feel like wiring in another gadget I don't really need.
I did have fun. Talked to some cool vendors. Learned some things. Pics to follow.
Re: New York Metro Reptile Expo
This is the main room. There isn't a crowd because I got there right when it opened. Some of the vendors were still setting up.

I posted this before, but it's so darn cute I'm posting it again.

Snake-necked turtle because you don't see these everyday:

I'm generally not partial to all white herps but, on these beardies, it works.

My camera doesn't do it justice. Not my fault. No camera could. This one might be my best in show. It's only rival was a boa further down.

This vendor had a couple day geckos that he just let run free:

Similarly, this vendor let his rhino rat run free. It's a great way to show them off if you can get away with it.
https://ball-pythons.net/forums/cach...m/mEv9lnu.jpeg
Axolotl. I didn't know they came in rainbow. I told the vendor my home's too warm for axolotls. He said to just throw some frozen water bottles in the tank.

Calibar python. I don't know what a calibar python is so I took a pic so I could look it up later.

A clown splotched nelson's milk snake. I hadn't see a milk snake like this before. It has bands and stripes.
https://ball-pythons.net/forums/cach...m/7gMhbWN.jpeg
Here's the boa I mentioned earlier. The blue light spoiled the shot though.
https://ball-pythons.net/forums/cach...m/l9Fj11Y.jpeg
A Striped Kukri. The vendor told me they eviscerate their pray with their kukri shaped teeth.
https://ball-pythons.net/forums/cach...m/q8O2Bsr.jpeg
Finally, just a plain old Amazon Tree Boa. They're, currently, at the top of my wish list. I was looking for a vendor that sold them. There were only two. The first vendor I found was selling wild caught snakes. This is the only captive born and bred I found.

That's a wild looking blood python- I've never seen one like that. I wonder if that vender still had his "free-roaming" day geckos at the end of the day? Personally I'd worry about their safety...:confusd: or someone stealing them? You sure don't see many Calibar burrowing pythons around- I'm not sure how good of a pet they'd make, but the small size is nice. I just hope it was c/b & not a w/c import. Blue light or not, I can tell that's a gorgeous boa-:gj:
I really like that big green rhino rat snake- obviously a friendly soul. Hey, thanks for sharing pics!
The $500 dollars was for a breeding pair of Kukris, and the Calibar python was probably w/c. Another vendor described the Calibar python vendor as a "flipper" that sold w/c animals. When I asked the vendor basic questions about the Calibar, she had to google it. I decided not to ask her about her Amazon Tree Boas. I can ask google myself.
