Stolen Butter ghost from pomona reptile show

That sucks. It's going to be hard finding the snake though if they don't have any photos of it...

A 50 something yr old lady tried to steal a ball python from Colin Weaver at the charlotte show this past weekend, luckily they caught her

Wow... I was talking to a guy there about stuff like that happening... How pathetic some people are.. :(

I was telling my bf while we were standing in the mile long line to get in that for sure with this many people reptiles will so easily be stolen. It was over packed and over advertized. They needed to do two buildings and space out the vendors. Doesnt matter how much help you bring though, there was just too many people to look out for. I feel bad for the kids, they get pushed out of the way. Seems the best seat in the house is on a dads shoulders!
I like the locked acrilic keepers, I think thats the best way to minimize quick snatches. Round plastic keepers is trouble

I really don't know how somebody could do something like that. What on earth would possess a person?

Scumbags.

It's a small item with a high dollar value.

Can you imagine a jewelry expo where they keep rows of diamond earrings in stacked cardboard jewelry boxes? It wouldn't happen. Unfortunately to run a good reptile business you can't ignore the word business.

In a word "Greed".

I was afraid something like this would happen. :(

Crowded space, busy and distracted vendors, multiple animals lined up, high dollar price tags on containers, it was a situation begging for something to get stolen. Every time I was at a booth and the vendor started chatting or I needed to buy something I couldn't help but to wonder how they kept track of everything. Those booths with multiple people in it were probably a little better off, but even then it isn't foolproof.

And it really was over crowded. I skipped a LOT of booths because so many people were crowded around. I get a little nervous in crowds, AND I was carrying a baby, so I needed to look out for her safety as well.

Y'kno, it definitely seems like there were more adults than kids at this show. Normally there's a bunch of tiny heads in front of the tables, and I can just take pictures over them, but now I wait until the table is clear.. Poor kids o_O. Definitely more crowded than ever before.

That's why as a vendor you can't skimp on the display stuff...

I love my keyed lock acrylics, but I still have stuff with hasps.. and I watch that like a hawk.

I hate to be paranoid, but obviously it happens.

People do suck sometimes, but most are cool :)

Heather where do you pick up your show displays??
