I finally got my blood!

I went to a reptile show today in white plains new york and had the time of my life. i held so many reptiles it wasn't even funny. i even got to walk this really nasty timor monitor. i say mean cuz he kept tail whipping me lol. i also finally got to hold a few uro's for the first time today. i kept one lady's number because she wanted me to buy a baby female nigerian at the the next show in august(which i am going back to lol) and my mom said she would think about it. my mom is going back to pick up her favorite lizrd which is the giant day gecko(grandis). she saw an adult pair and so many people had them all through out the show so i know their will be alot at the next show. my most favorite part if the show was hodilng this 5' jaguar jungle carpet python. they took him out the display tank and i was the closest to it so i got to hold her. oh and i also held an 8 foot anery boa which was pretty fun too(some kid my age bought it for 250$). anyway to make a long story short we got to the place at 1 pm and by that time it was only 2 blood s left at this one guys table,a marbled borneo and a red sumatran, i dont really like borneos but i do like sumatrans(i was really looking for a black blood but nowhere to be found lol) so i bought the female sumatran for 90$. she has a somewhat nice temperament but bit the crap outta me when i pulled her outta the bag. so now she is in her tank and i think i am gonna call her iffy cuz that seems to be her attitude lol. thnx for listening.

Congrats on the new addition, so when do we get to see pics???

Awesome. I wanna go to a show like that. Wonder if the NARBC show will be that fun..

So when are we gonna see a pic of the new blood? I warn you, they are addictive. :)

Grats, Brian.


Consider this further anxious clamoring for pics :P!

Congrats on the new addition! Now post those pictures :cool:

congrats! looks lik we both got something we wanted:)

Has anyone been to the ALL OHIO SHOW and if so can you give me some pointers where to get my reptiles from at the show and How to safely bring reptiles back about 2.5 hrs back home drive? Aaron

2.5 hours is no big deal. The sellers give you a snake bag or deli cup to take the snake home in.. just keep it with you in the car.. and if you leave the car in a hot place, bring it in with you.

I go to that show almost monthly. I live in Mansfield. I have never had issues transporting reptiles back here. Most of the time, they are in deli cups. However, I usually take along kritter keepers of various sizes and snake bags/pillow cases just in case. There are some great vendors and all you got to do is the leg work to figure out which one to buy from. I do however suggest being very careful, because there is one vendor there (cant remember thier name) they are known for sickly animals. They have the tanks on the far left side along the wall, in the back. I will not ever buy from them! Everytime I have looked over thier stock, most look sick in some way, and I have seen mites a few times. Also, there are a few vendors who house way too many bp's in tanks, poor things have to pile up to get any room for themselves.To eliminate that issue, I just never buy from someone who has multiple animals housed together for the show, only buy from those who keep their animals separate in some way. But, I have gotten some good deals there and reccommend that you definately check it out. It is worth the drive.

sry it took so long to respond. unfortunately until i get a disposable camera and scan the polaroids you guys won't get to see her. my digi cam is busted(i told you all i get is a black screen lol) and i cannot take a pic. since i have been changing her bowl for the last 3 days i have noticed that she is the biggest hisser i have ever met lol. even when i walk in the room she hisses and i ahve been bitten by her 3 times so far(once changing the water and twice putting her inside her cage on sunday lol. if someone could tell me how to fix my digi cam problem or a place i should go to figure out what is wrong with it i can have pics up as soon as i get it fixed if not then you guys gotta wait lol. byt the way she is only 12". yeah a lil baby lol

Brian

oh and if you guys can come up with a name for her i would be greatful cuz i am completely stuck lol.

Brian

3 bites? Get youself some gloves, man! I just use cheap gardening gloves that are gauntlet length. Very useful.

Names.. hm. Well, mine are Habanera (female version of habanero, the super hot red pepper) and Meatball (little chunker). You may want to try for a name that highlights the blood red color, or the stockiness of the snakes. I know someone with a blood named Sausage.

Hey, name it Hemoglobin! :P

Have fun. :)

yeah that was just the first day though lol. ever since it's been hissing and hissing and hissing lol. Hemoglobin. hmmmmmmmm........maybe lol

Brian

i was looking on the NERD site and i saw a female that looked just like mine so maybe that can hold you guys down for a lil while lol.
