Back from Daytona! Pic Heavy

So there is a lot that I have to cover with yall on this. But first off I had sooo much fun, and I got to meet Robin, and I got to see her mojave and pastel. However I couldnt find Deb, all the people I took with me wanted to go before I could meet her at the bp.net table. ):
So, here is how it went down. I decided to bring my mother, sister, family friend/neighbor Lisa and she brought along her two year old Kyle.
Once we got there we were glued to the displays on the 2nd floor, and once we found were the registration was, we then proceeded to the 1st and most exciting floor. I have to say it was stressful, for many reasons. The first was that the people I bought with me literally rushed me through that entire floor in less than a half an hour.(Note this floor was where BHB, The Snake Keeper and many other cool breeders and cool morphs were. Also, since strollers werent allowed on the 1st floor I had to carry Kyle everywhere.
After that we went out for some air and to see the beach. Then we got some lunch. After that I ditched them and went back to take my time and see all the good stuff! IT was a Blast! I got to meet and talk to Dr. Chewy, Lori, Dan and Colette Sutherland, Kara from NERD, Jeremy Stone, the Barkers, etc. Also I got to see all these new 08 morphs I kept posting on here, like the true ghost, clown pied, tri stripe, ghost pieds!!!(OMG) and the pin pied. Didnt have a camera to take pics of those since my sister took that with her. But I did get some good pics of some cool stuff there, I will post them soon once I can get them from Lisa and my sis. It truely was an awesome experience. And also I found a new species I want, Bloods! The super ghost, albino, and just plain simple normals stole my attention. Unfortunately, I couldnt get an new snakes. :( I simply didnt have room, nor did I have enough money. But the experience by far was well worth it. I did get a bp.net t-shirt and a reptileradio t-shirt.

I want to go back! http://i201.photobucket.com/albums/a...309323d8a2.jpg

Think of dog shows where the dogs are crated, horse shows where the horses are in standing stalls. Animals at any show are going to be a bit more nervous or high strung. I would think keeping them in smaller enclosures keeps them from bashing themselves around too much and of course addresses the practical space issues when displaying a large number of any living thing.

My buddy actually bought both of those two large sulcatas for $500

Awesome pics!!! Hopefully next year I can go and see all of the awesome morphs in person.

My friend actually came home with like 18 sulcatas. Six big ones and 12 baby ones. Was hell in the van ride home because we were already packed. And two sulcatas were 'doing it' on the ride home.

It was great meeting you, Jyson! Thanks for sharing the pics!
