My name is Leah, and I have a problem...DUW

The New England Reptile Expo in New Hampshire was yesterday. I was there from 7:30am-4:30pm helping out my friend Patrick with Action Reptiles. We had such a great time. Not only was I helping out Pat (I think I was helping haha) but it was also my boyfriend's first reptile expo ever. Now he sees why I'm an addict. It's funny because he knows the ball pythons I've been planning on getting, and has been like "that's all Leah, don't go overboard!". Wellll guess who "talked" me into getting a tortoise because he had to have her.... :rofl: So here's our new red foot tortoise. I've wanted one for a while...

I also fell in love with a fat tailed gecko. Patrick had a few of these he was selling, and whilst putting them into their display enclosures for the table, I kinda...sorta...fell in love with her.....lol. She's an Enigma (?) and 30% raptor (?). I know nothing of gecko morphs....I just thought she was cute as heck and ended up buying her from Patrick of Action Reptiles. :oops:

I know she's not actually "cross-eyed"...but she looks like it and I think it's the funniest and cutest thing evar haha...

Last but not least! I also picked up a female albino ball python from Patrick of Action Reptiles. I've always wanted an albino ball python...literally. Thanks again to Patrick! Seriously, he is such a stand up guy. I personally recommend him to anyone looking for ball pythons and bearded dragons.

Notice anything? At first he thought she had dirt on her head...then with her first shed it didn't come off. She's a paradox :D it's just two small spots, and I noticed at the show in the very bright florescent lights that it's also in her eye. I loved how unique she was.

Here are a few pictures from the expo itself.
My boyfriend, hanging out with one of Patrick's adult male beardies. He fell in love with beardies, and is actually going to buy one from Pat when we get the setup ready :rolleyes:

Thanks for looking at my pictures! I had a blast and my boyfriend did too. I am already looking forward to the MA Reptile Expo in two weeks ;)

Very cool Leah! I love the albino and the red foot tortoise, although the gecko is pretty cute too! ;)

I think you have a leopard gecko, not a fat tail :)

I think I may have the same problem :)

LOL thanks. I was also informed on iherp that she's a leo. I guess her fat tail threw me off. Thank god they are practically cousins haha. :gj:

Congrats on the pickups! Very nice!

I hate to break it to you but you aren't going to find the support you need to kick the habit here, just encouragement to continue. :P

Nice new pick ups. I love your leo. :gj:

I was there yesterday too (and I also got an albino bp!!) but I didn't see you!! :P Maybe I just wasn't looking hard enough, most of the time I was wandering around overwhelmed since it was only my second expo ever. Beautiful pickups btw, red foot tortoises have a lot of personality and of course I love your albino girl :gj: At least your bf didn't fall in love with one of those alligator snappers haha
