    2010 WARE Show!!
    I just rolled in from the show.. Ok so I've been home since 3:00 pm. First of all Angie and Will are two outstanding people. The show was both professional and well organized. I have to give them a shout-out for doing such a great job and for allowing BP.net and USARK to be present during the show. Thank you guys.

    While walking around there were a few things I kept my eye on but in the end it was some Ball pythons that won out.. but more on them later.. So here are the pic hope you enjoy.. Some were during set-up others were during the show.. Look for the YouTube tour to come (which includes JKoyblka Reptiles, and Will with Bruce the Burm)

    WARE was awesome!!

    I was so close to buying a green anaconda save for a few health concerns I had about it. Plus no way I could honestly handle it if it was a female.


    Buuuuuuut I did get this beauty from justin

    It was really great to get to meet you and put a name to a face.. Even if we didn't get to hit that Mexican place..It was still really nice to meet you, and that's a nice little Pastel you added there.

    Nugget was a little super-star at the show and at the hotel!

    Angie and Will were awesome hosts - they even fed all the vendors lunch as well and made a generous donation to USARK!

    Can't wait for the next WARE show - when word gets out how nice it was, with nice open aisles for browsing, great lighting - and a great group of vendors - I see this show only growing.

    Will definitely be going again!

    Hey Guys!!!!!!!! and Gals!!!!!!!!!! lol
    Great Pix Ed!!! you are a lil' sneaky with that camera dude :D

    We had a blast!!! All the vendors were great!!! There were some familiar faces and a whole bunch of new faces :gj::gj:
    Everybody, including the attendees were GREAT!!! We did not have a single complaint, issue, or gripe!!!!!! Everyone was friendly, helpful, and soooo supportive!!! (i hope my funeral will be that friendly but I'm kinda doubting it!) :O:O:O:O

    We actually left with another snake too, lol... a fem green alb burm to go with our male green alb burm :D:D:D couldnt resist!

    We have a few pix we would like to share also, and a couple I have to email to Justin with his ATL boys in it :banana::banana::banana:
    (one of them ask me not to post it, so I'm not :D )

    Give me a few to get them up here!

    I don't, that's why I was sweating and my back still kinked up!!! lol
    At home, we open his enclosure, he will work his way out.... If he wants to go back, he does!!!!! If we want to put him back before he is ready, we just get him going in that direction, and he will climb his big "self" back up in there!!! lol

    I'm not trying to make his head swell.... but.... you will NEVER go wrong with any of Justin's animals!!! I know there are alot of other great breeders out there, and if I ever get the chance to deal with them.. I will give them the same props, but about 80% of my collection has come from Justin! Never any issues and he is so great to deal with!!! before, during, and after the sale... always helpful, even if you have a question and have never purchased an animal from him!!!

    Congrats on your new addition!!!

    PS... Justin, if you were not such a light weight at the hotel... I was gonna buy that other fem pastel :O But you did need your beauty sleep, soooo I guess i will have to pick it up or we can try Mike's new shipping process??? he said it will be up and running in about 30 days or so :D:D Should be just as good as SYR but about 10% less cost :gj::gj::gj::gj::gj::gj:

    Thanks for posting the pics Ed!

    It was great getting to see you again and meeting your dad and Ben. We also got to meet Robin, Justin and Judy face to face for the first time which I really enjoyed!

    Will and Angie did an AWESOME job with the show and I'm looking forward to going back for the next one. Hopefully we will be a vendor at that one.

    Thanks to everyone we met Saturday for making us feel like we were a part of the gang! :gj:

    "Thank you" Will and Angie for all your hard work. The set up was perfect, no cramped tables, the isles are nice and wide, and the unloading area being so close makes set up a breeze. Was especially nice to see some familiar faces and a mix of new ones. Looking forward to your next show!

    Thank YOU guys for arranging to get some fruit flies there for me, and for the beautiful Imperial (who people are drooling over in the king/milk forums below). He's already had a meal with me, and I adore him!
