My name is Leah, and I have a problem...DUW

The New England Reptile Expo in New Hampshire was yesterday. I was there from 7:30am-4:30pm helping out my friend Patrick with Action Reptiles. We had such a great time. Not only was I helping out Pat (I think I was helping haha) but it was also my boyfriend's first reptile expo ever. Now he sees why I'm an addict. It's funny because he knows the ball pythons I've been planning on getting, and has been like "that's all Leah, don't go overboard!". Wellll guess who "talked" me into getting a tortoise because he had to have her.... So here's our new red foot tortoise. I've wanted one for a while...



(this was what she came home in...not her enclosure)

Here she is eating the salad my boyfriend ordered for lunch


I also fell in love with a fat tailed gecko. Patrick had a few of these he was selling, and whilst putting them into their display enclosures for the table, I kinda...sorta...fell in love with her.....lol. She's an Enigma (?) and 30% raptor (?). I know nothing of gecko morphs....I just thought she was cute as heck and ended up buying her from Patrick of Action Reptiles.


I know she's not actually "cross-eyed"...but she looks like it and I think it's the funniest and cutest thing evar haha...


Aaaaand my absolute favorite picture of her lol


Last but not least! I also picked up a female albino ball python from Patrick of Action Reptiles. I've always wanted an albino ball python...literally. Thanks again to Patrick! Seriously, he is such a stand up guy. I personally recommend him to anyone looking for ball pythons and bearded dragons.


Notice anything? At first he thought she had dirt on her head...then with her first shed it didn't come off. She's a paradox it's just two small spots, and I noticed at the show in the very bright florescent lights that it's also in her eye. I loved how unique she was.





Here are a few pictures from the expo itself.
My boyfriend, hanging out with one of Patrick's adult male beardies. He fell in love with beardies, and is actually going to buy one from Pat when we get the setup ready

And here's me and Patrick! After all the time I've known him this is the first picture I've managed to get of the two of us haha. I have his sexy pastave ghost around my neck


Thanks for looking at my pictures! I had a blast and my boyfriend did too. I am already looking forward to the MA Reptile Expo in two weeks
