Spring Tinley

[pbenner]

I will be there at doors open with the Nephew on Saturday. I'll be down Friday helping a local Vendor who I've bought a snake from in the past with manual labor during setup.

I'll be the shaved head guy with a 10" goatee and a 10 year old kid in tow.

One out of the two best times of the year is almost here! I know there are a few Tinley threads going around. Figured it might be nice to try to get a final idea of who's going and who may want to try to meet up.

I will be there for sure with my husband on Saturday from 7:30A until sometime in the afternoon. I will be wearing a super bright neon green T-shirt and have red hair.

I may also go when it's died down a bit towards the end of the day on Sunday, maybe with my kids, depending on how much trouble I get into on Saturday, lol.

ill look out for you

Yay! I need reptile friends, lol. I posted a Happy Pie(d) Day pun/photo on FB and nobody got it. I'm excited because we have a babysitter this time so I actually get to take my time and browse everything without feeling rushed.

I was down and helped a couple of the guys I've bought snakes from with their setup at the show. Was fun. I did all my buying tonight too. Had a blast. Fell in love with a non BP species. Am serious about the want of one now. ./facepalm...

We were there this morning for a few hours but I am probably going to go back tomorrow on my own. Our sitter canceled, so it was a bit stressful. I also managed to forget the list I wrote of supplies we needed. :/

But all was not lost! We picked up a Herpstat 6, some hides, and longer feeding tongs. And a magical copy of The Complete Boa Constrictor that was definitely not $400! My kids also got to pet the most awesome Tegu.

Unfortunately the only real snake interaction I had today ended up being a disappointing one. (I make it a point to only ask to handle a snake if I'm serious about buying.) I was eyeballing and handled two very pretty Guyana BCCs from the same vendor and was just about to say yes to purchasing one when what did I see? A mite on my hand! That was enough to say thanks but no thanks. I quietly pointed the critter out to the seller and was on my way with an extra dose of hand sanitizer. Showered and changed clothes upon arriving home.

Hopefully tomorrow will bring more leisurely browsing.

I also picked up a magical copy of that book and I kindly asked Mr Vin Russo to sign it for me because, why not.

That's awesome! There were only I think 3 copies left at the big front table with all the books when I grabbed mine.

I didn't have the nerve to ask him to sign mine (I just creeped by his table a couple of times lol) but maybe tomorrow when I go back!

What did you get and what species did you fall in love with?
