Well, I went to the Rocky Mountain Reptile Expo today. It was nice, and I picked up some decent animals for great prices. I still spent WAY to much money but my wife was half the culprit... lol

So anyway I wanted to post my personal review of the show, and some vendors.


1.) The expo in general was very nice. There were some VERY nice animals there as well as some very nice people. There was also a very large turn-out so it was a bit hard to get to some of the booths. I eventually gave up on trying to get to a couple of them.

Vendors:
1.) Art In Scales - As usual Michelle and Randy are just awesome! The are very informative, and you can tell by the way they run their business that it's about the love for the animals. I've bought I believe 5 animals from them this year, and they're all my best quality animals. Also their son has some absolutely stunning corn snakes for sale.

2.) Steel City Constrictors - He's got a very nice selection of animals. Probably the most variety at the show today. The curly headed kid ( probably late teens or early 20's ) that helped me choose my animals was a great help. The other guy ( I assume the owner ) seemed to busy to deal with customers, but that's the business sometimes I guess. Anyway I picked up two animals from them. The tiger retic male is awesome. The granite albino burm is nice, but she's got a kink near the end of the tail that I wish I'd had caught before I purchased her.

3. CornQuest - Wow, she didn't have the largest booth at the expo, but what amazing animals. I own retics, burms, balls, kings, boas, geckos, beardies, and corns. For the most part my jaw drops when I see the big boids still, but I've never been so impressed with a corn snake collection. I purchased a pair of hypo 100% double het caramel stripe corns. I couldn't be happier with them!

Boas and Balls: Boas and Balls had a nice collection of well... Boas, and ball pythons. After about 2 seconds at their booth I saw a caramel albino ball python that I absolutely wanted. I waited by it for about 5 minutes while nobody even recognized that I was there so I finally had to go somewhere else to look. Sadly I didn't find another one with the same quality, but that's life I guess.

Clock Work Reptiles: They had an awesome set up, just nothing I was needing this time. Last expo I bought a great graziani line pastel from them. They're also very helpful.

There were a lot of other vendors there that for the most part had some awesome animals. I wish I could have walked away with all of them, but... So all in all it was a great show. I also saw an awesome giant pede that I wanted for $30, and we forgot to go back to the table before we left!
