Daytona National Reptile Breeders' Expo 2013

exactly two weeks from today my toes are gonna be in the daytona beach sand. :D what better way to spend a week long vacation than at the beach? maybe a little deep sea fishing by day, a little bar hopping by night. and topping it off with one of the biggest reptile shows in the country? i cant really think of a better vacation to go on. lol we'll be down there wednesday morning and stay through sunday night after the show. i cannot wait.

so who all is goin? i know there has to be more than a couple people on here attending.

I'm on the wrong side of the country for it. Will likely be going to the Reptile Expo at the Pomona Fairplex in L.A. next weekend. Hoping my non snake loving son doesn't mind since its his bday weekend. *grin*

*Gasp* I cannot believe how oblivious I am... My GF goes to school in Daytona, I'm less than 2 hours out and had no idea this was happening!!! GRRRR finances :/ If I can I will make it, if for no other reason just to gawk at all the awesome things and get in touch with local breeders perhaps. That and it would make a cool date for my gf n I :). I've officially converted her to a herp lover! Any more info on this is appreciated!

I'll be there Saturday assuming all goes well with work. We only live about 45min-1hr south of Daytona. :D

Boyfriend and I will be there Friday through Sunday. Really looking forward to it - it's our only vacation of the year.

i would love to go but me and my wife decided to spend that weekend in the everglades/mangrove swamps instead :)

Me n hubby(mechnut450) will be going as part of our honeymoon:D Cant wait to attend that Sat night auction!! Were also going to Gatorland and Universal. And well be wearing our BP.net t-shirts for people to sign! ;)

Ill be there with the wife and child Friday thru sunday cant wait woohooo

Going!...and plan to enjoy a great show and spend time relaxing and hanging with friends.

it's gonna be a blast. anyone know of any bars down there with a good selection of craft beers? i wouldn't mind havin a few brews with some people and shootin the crap about reptiles. lol

Just thought I'd make a post for members that are planning on attending Daytona in a few weeks. It was a great show last year and I met a lot of great people.

Maybe this could be a thread to post and exchange info for those members who want to meet in person at the show.

i'll be there! cant stop thinkin about it. lol i started a thread about it a couple days, so i know these people will be there too:

a couple days ago**^^

ok, with how MASSIVE this forum is, i'm having a difficult time believing there are only 5 other people on here attending the Daytona show. i'm assuming most people on here that are going just havent seen this thread, so i'm going to bump it, and probably will again.

come on guys. i'm really aching to drink a couple brews and meet some of my bp.net friends and shoot the crap. daytona is gonna be a blast.

A little too south for me

I know how ya feel bro, were counting down the DAYS!!!

Since I LIVE in Daytona, of course I'll be there. ;)

http://wobusa.com/Locations/PortOrange/menus.aspx The World of Beer in Port Orange (just south of Daytona proper). The link there is for their beer menus.

We will be there, Daytona is blast.

Somebody has to take a video of this one!
Unfortunately for me, Daytona isn't in Texas. :(

Although I think the expo would be fun, after Florida started this mess we're in with the burmese hysteria, they'll never see another dime of my money.

Tinley Park. :gj:

I'll be going Saturday most likely and will be my 1st time too.

Also that link is for this same thread, is that a mistake?

I'm wondering if there is gonna be VIP for BP.net members?

One of you guys should bring a paper petition against the new imposing legislative threats to the hobby. It should be good since this is the biggest expo in the world.:gj:
And make a vid for Youtube! :please:

There's a whole symposium on Geckos??

Do they have stuff like this near me (I mean the reptile talks and stuff)??

I will be heading down early tomorrow morning.

Heading down in the morning about 8 be there about 9:30

It was a interesting day. Lots of nice stuff during set-up. Should be a good weekend. I have my eye on a few pick-ups.

We will be there late afternoon, cuz were going to Gatorland first. We will be attending the auction tonite, and will be attending the show tomorrow as well.

sent from my incubator

Btw, for you out of towners like us, Gatorland is a MUST see...it was @$#! awesome!!

sent from my incubator

I totally missed that Daytona was upon us. I may not make it over at all.

We only checked out half the tables so far today, and it rocks so far. I am having to yell at my husband cause he wants to pick up a new snake so bad.
