Photo Dump of Reptile Super Show - Los Angeles!
ok the latest stop of my summer travels took me back to LA and the Reptile Super Show this past weekend.
i was super excited as this is like the biggest show on the West Coast! i was tired as we just got in from Vegas, this was like over an hour drive through traffic outside the city in the suburb of Pomona actually, the fairground was huge and confusing and we had to go from one parking lot to another and then another and had to pay for parking, get out and walk a bit to the building. i was so annoyed but everything got better as soon as i was surrounded by reptiles!
ok i know peeps are here for pix, so i will note a few things before posting the cool animals...
-- the show had tons of lizards, monitors, tegus, turtles/tortoises, frogs, bugs, arachnids, etc. etc. but i was really focused on snakes lol. so i won't have lotsa pix of other animals.
-- i had to be aggressive and push through the crowds and the front of each booth. sorry kids! watch my elbows lol.
-- i got to meet some of the local Youtube personalities from the community including Miguel (and his brother) from AEP, Brian from Triple B and Dan and his wife Apple from DM Exotics. Apple and i talked alot about where were from and our favorite Thai and Lao foods lol. they were all really nice and cool peeps.
-- Steve Angeli who looks like Chuck Liddell and who breeds the best Gila's and Beaded Lizards said he likes my tattoos esp. the Wicked ones.
-- the price of MBK's seem to have gone up - over $200 now. i got mine for half that like a year ago at a local show.
-- there sure are lotsa coco husk substrate options now.
-- i didn't buy anything except for a Black Pearl Reptiles tshirt.
-- i really wanted to stay for the USARK benefit auction post-show but i like had sold-out tickets to Carly Rae Jepsen! https://www.instagram.com/p/B1DAvmMhwue/
here are links to the full album of pix:

it was an Angolan x Ball Python hybrid. i think i've heard it referred to as a Powerball, Superball and Angry Ball i think. this one was a boy and much bigger than any boy BP i've seen.
