Whelp, I spent the ENTIRE day at the expo yesterday. There were so many vendors, I barely knew where to turn first. I was shooting pictures left and right and came out with a little over 70 of them.

I turn my two adult Leopard Geckos and had them on the HISS table. The male patternless sold for $50, but the female hypo tangerine went home with Kelli Hammack, who plans to breed her with a Mack Snow male! EEE! She is such a great person to talk with. I was even offered an '05 50% possible het for Caramel Albino male for FREE since she liked the female so much, but I had already bought another snake(hold your horses, I'll tell ya about him!), and told her I could take him or another ball later on down the road. I can't wait! My mom "ALMOST" gave in :-D hehe...

About the new addition, he's an '05 San Felipe Rosy Boa and is just precious. So calm and deliberate, and just GORGEOUS! I got him for $75 from Earthtones Reptiles. I am thinking of naming him Jack, but we'll see. He even got to come into Joe's Crabshack with us for dinner! They didn't even realize, hehe.

I also bought some 12" hemos from Animal Capture Equipment, some large pink mice and some weaned rats from Pet Snake Snacks. I almost got another Crestie but will probably end up with one at the show in Austin on August 27&28(They were only $40-$60 and were very fat and healthy!).

I saw Olive Pythons! Many Many Many Gorgeous Ball Pythons! Retics, Bloods & Borneo Short Tails, *BEARDIES*, Corns, Kings, Milks, Pines, Gophers, Rats(Scaly and Furry), Hognose, Amphibians, *CRESTIES,* White's Tree Frogs(EEEE!! Cuties!), Inverts, *FLUFFY!*, and tons and tons of equipment, cages and PEOPLE

Ok, finally, here are some pictures of the happenings. I wish I had taken a picture of the expo room, but didn't think about it. The show wasn't quite as big as last year, but it was still awesome and I can't wait until next year. I am posting them as links so I won't have to post a 2nd or a 3rd set of actual pictures.

And that is about it. Sorry for the quality on some, the lights were a little glaring at some displays, but I think they turned out OK. I will have some pictures of my little cutie pie and Amani when he settles in and when Amani has shed.

An update on Amani, she turned a year old on the 25th and now weighs over 900g. I saw some yearlings at the show that were only 350-400g, females as well... I was talking to Kelli about her and she said that Amani is quite big. So hopefully she will turn out to be a big fatty Plus, she's about to shed, so we'll see if she will sit still long enough to weigh her afterwards. I got her out of her tub last night and couldn't believe how heavy and big she seemed. I remember when she got to my house and I opened that tiny deli cup and saw her itty bitty self. Awww!
