Looks like you're being well taken care of with your questions, but I noticed that you are in Alabama and several of the members here are going to be meeting up Birmingham for the November Dixie Reptile show. Most of us will be staying overnight Friday and Saturday night - if you're interested, we'd love to have you join us!
We just hang out Friday night in someone's room for "show and tell" where most of us bring new animals we've acquired to show off to each other and talk snakes and just cut up for the evening. Then we all go to the show on Saturday and then back to the hotel to get ready to all go out to dinner and then repeat Friday night. It's a great time! It's going to be the weekend before Thanksgiving this year.
