I just got an e-mail from one of the vendors that said she will be there. I asked her if it would be at the La Quinta at Meridian and I-40, and she didn't say otherwise, so I assume that's where it will be. If I go, I WILL be complaining that more is not done to promote this show!!! They could AT LEAST post information on some of the forums! I go to this show on a somewhat regular basis. They have my address, and yet I never receive any kind of notification?!?!?!?

Steve

I know! I was completely unaware of any kind of herp show until this year, and i've been keeping herps in general around 6 years! I just found out about the Broken Arrow show this past spring, and I just happened to see this show on kingsnake and again on REPTILES magazine in the back!

I wouldn't have known about it at all if Kasi hadn't told me....but I'm pretty sure both of us are going to show up. :D They weren't able to put me back on the schedual so conviently I have the whole weekend off! Fun stuff!! Now I only wish I had the money to spend while I was there....

I know, but I said that about the last expo that we went to, and look where it got me ! :P But no, now I really don't have any money after buying all of those racks *sigh* well.. maybe a cornsnake or two. Teehee!

It is still going to be at the La Quinta on Meridian. I was told they had been doing a ton of local advertising for it, newspapers, radio, and maybe a tv crew coming out to the show. Is anyone local to OKC?

I am, but Shannon's in Stillwater. I havn't seen anything on TV, and when I listen to the radio (which isn't that often except when I'm in my car going to class) I havn't heard anything on there either. As for paper advertisements, I have no clue cause the only thing that I use the paper for is for my quarantine tank bedding.

LOL, I'm still planning on being there, I think Lynn and several other breeders are coming up from texas, so it should be a good show.

cool cool! I bought my male pastel BP from Lynn and her husband at the Broken Arrow show in April! I'm very pleased with my 'little man' (as Shannon and I call him) and he has a monsterous appetite!

I'm excited!! I'm not going to forget my camera this time either!! I keep thinking maybe I could get a crestie or a corn snake, b/ they are cheaper than balls, but then I remember...I have to eat between now and when regular classes start! Dang it!! I guess I will just have to spoil my one girl that much more until I can get something else ^_^

I'm in OKC also (actually just west), and have seen NO advertising whatsoever. Several years ago, a tv crew was there, and my daughter was wandering around with a bearded dragon perched on her shoulder. She ended up on tv!

Lynn is the breeder that I "talked to" via e-mail, so she and Sprocket will be there.

I still don't know if I can make it. But just in case, I'm just over 6' tall, beard, and I'll probably be hanging around Lynn and Sprocket. I'll try to be wearing a Snake Evolutions t shirt. Sorry, I don't have any recent or decent pics.

I remember you now, you had just bought him when I was talking to you. My wife and I had the table straight across from GoLizards beside DD reptiles. Most of our beardies came from Lynn, and I have several BP's from Sprocket as well. I will probably have a few more from him after this weekend. Not that I need to be buying anything else.... :) .

Oh yeah! Lol What do ya know? Ya, I wish that I had enough money to invest in some more BP's, but I've pretty much spent all that I can for a while after a trip to Dallas, and buying a 6 slot rack and thermostat =/. Maybe I can find myself a little corn snake or something :P . Man, but Sprocket had this male Spider for sale in April that was beautiful! I wish I had the money to pick him up.

We made it down today to get setup for the show, if anyone is thinking about coming out it should be a good show. Bob Clark is setting up as well.

Bob Clark?!?!? He never does that show!!!! (at least, I haven't seen him)

I'm headed that way after some more coffee!

Steve

Darn it! I don't think I can convince the bf to go. He already thinks I have too many snakes, LOL.

any idea on if it'll cost $$ to come in? like $5? But Shannon and I will be there for sure :D . I'll probably be wearing a pink shirt with black kapri's, and my hair done in braided pigtails. :P

Great show! (well, for OKC) Bob Clark is there, Wes Harris, Lynn and Sprocket, Davey Pythons, Reptile Empire, among others. Saw Lessers, lots of Mojaves, Caramels, Spiders, Pastels, Ivory, Bumble Bee, Pieds, Fires, Yellow Blush Albino, Axanthics.

Got to meet Shannon (Tweets_4611), Kasi (Purrrfect9), and Casey and Talisa (sp?) (ReptileEmpire).

There were SEVERAL snakes that I REALLY wanted to bring home, but alas, I came home empty-handed. :(

It was great meeting you guys, it was a pretty fun day, it's still going tomorrow as well.

Casey

It was a lot of fun! And Man did Sprockets spider look HOT! I wanted to take him home so bad. And after seeing pinstripes in person, i do believe that I like them as well! And Bob Clark's table was pretty neat, and seeing some of those eggs hatching was simply amazing! Oh, and I do believe that there is now a new special place in my heart for RTB. Man I need to move out into my own house ASAP! lol

That show was neat!! It's always fun to put faces to names, and there were alot of neat snakes there too. ^_^ One of those venders was so cruel!! hehe He handed me the little mojave guy I was drooling over and told me that the little man wanted to go home with me!! It took all of my will power to hand him back :P Onery thing...tempting me like that. haha And we are going to definately find a landlord that allows snakes, b/c now that I have Kasi wanting a RTB too, well....with both of us, we may get in trouble otherwise!! haha (Balls are a bit easier to hide...) Anyways, it was good to meet everyone, and the show was a blast! made for a good day ^_^

Shannon -

What about the other cruel breeder that handed you a pastel that bit you?!?!?!

;)

Steve

Haha, I told Kasi that if I had been looking for a snake, or had the money to get one, I would have left there with her!! :D Little Miss 'Tude! haha

The ones with attitude are always the best! My very first BP would strike when I opened her cage, she struck so hard her whole body would come off the floor of the cage. It looked like she was trying to hop out. She's huge and as docile as a puppy now.

You guys should have came back out Sunday, you could have seen my new baby boy. I picked up a fireball sunday morning, and as if that didn't get me in enough trouble with my wife, Bob convinced me to come by his shop to look at an older female fire that he has. So I may end up with that one later this week if I am still married. ;) I'll try to get some pictures up tonight.

Oh, and I also got a Salmon Het-Albino RTB female, I'll try to get some pictures up of her too.

Oh bummer! You'll have to put up the pictures ^_^ We were looking at some of the fires that Davey Pythons had.....I hadn't ever seen one in person. Pretty neat little snake :P If I had come out on Sunday I probably would have left with something, and then my mom would have killed me...I had to stay away for my heaths sake ;)

And granted, I got tagged by one of the smallest girls there it seems like :D She was only about 2 months old I think he said haha But she was a cute little thing!! ^_^

Yup, I pick puppies based on which one is the friendliest. I pick snakes based on which has the "baddest" attitude! (not necessarily true, I generally pick the purtiest, but the bad attitude is a real bonus!)

On the other hand, I never worry about getting bitten by my snakes when they're off feed. Its when they start eating again that you have to watch out! I had one lunge at me the other night that I swear went 2/3 of her body length if not more!

Congrats on the fire(s), Casey! Hope you're still married! Surely she'll come around when she sees that black eyed lucie hatching out! How big/old is the big one?

So far so good! Still married, I have to say I was pretty shocked when I talked to her about it and she was okay with it. I would love to get the Black eyed lucy, but I am really trying for a fire-pewter cross. I posted pictures in the BP pictures forum. BTW, I checked out your pied you were telling me about at the show, he is awesome! I love the low whites, the pattern is one of my favorite things about them.

Shannon and I went to a smaller reptile show up in Broken Arrow, and we saw our first pied there. I wasn't too impressed because the white on him/her was really dirty looking, and it had stuck shed and everything on him. But after seeing some at the show this weekend, I really do like them! They're so pretty when they're clean ^_^
