Aahhhhh....allow me to enlighten you about the Northern Virginia Reptile Expo!

Brian Sharp is the biggest bp breeder that I saw there, but I've only been once. When we were there, they also had a special demontration of hots! A guy who owns a reptile zoo here in VA brought out a copperhead, a timber rattler, and a monacled cobra! It was an amazing show...we were just sitting on the floor about 15 feet away from these magnificent animals with nothing between us and them! Unfortunately, that was a one-time thing, so far as I know. But still...since it's so close, it's very well worth a visit!

There's a show on the 21st of this month. I don't know if we'll be going or not this time.

Yeah...I know right where Alexandria is. We spent a weekend in Old Town while house hunting last spring. It's a great place!
