"Squeals on Wheels"?

"Squeals on Wheels"?

No doubt a 501c charitable organization delivering nutritious rodents to needy reptile keepers.

I looked them up & there's more than one- in N.Y. they're a frozen feeder business, but in nearby DC, MD & VA, they're a traveling petting zoo. Catchy name either way.

So??? How was it? And did anything "follow you home"?

No. The only thing that came close was some cage lighting. I decided against it because I don't feel like wiring in another gadget I don't really need.

I did have fun. Talked to some cool vendors. Learned some things. Pics to follow.

[Homebody]

This is the main room. There isn't a crowd because I got there right when it opened. Some of the vendors were still setting up.



I posted this before, but it's so darn cute I'm posting it again.



Pretty (and expensive) blood:



Wicked (and expensive) black tree monitor:



Mandarin rat snake:



Rhino iguanas because who doesn't love rhino iguanas:



Snake-necked turtle because you don't see these everyday:



I'm generally not partial to all white herps but, on these beardies, it works.



My camera doesn't do it justice. Not my fault. No camera could. This one might be my best in show. It's only rival was a boa further down.



This vendor had a couple day geckos that he just let run free:



Similarly, this vendor let his rhino rat run free. It's a great way to show them off if you can get away with it.



Axolotl. I didn't know they came in rainbow. I told the vendor my home's too warm for axolotls. He said to just throw some frozen water bottles in the tank.



Calibar python. I don't know what a calibar python is so I took a pic so I could look it up later.



A clown splotched nelson's milk snake. I hadn't see a milk snake like this before. It has bands and stripes.



Here's the boa I mentioned earlier. The blue light spoiled the shot though.



A Striped Kukri. The vendor told me they eviscerate their pray with their kukri shaped teeth.



Finally, just a plain old Amazon Tree Boa. They're, currently, at the top of my wish list. I was looking for a vendor that sold them. There were only two. The first vendor I found was selling wild caught snakes. This is the only captive born and bred I found.

[Bogertophis]

Wow, lots of great stuff there. You for sure don't want a w/c Amazon tree boa- hold out for c/b when you're ready for one. I wonder what kind of masochist would buy a kukri? & for the bargain price of $500? Hope they have good medical insurance. I wouldn't mind having that calico Chinese Beauty snake though. That's a wild looking blood python- I've never seen one like that. I wonder if that vender still had his "free-roaming" day geckos at the end of the day? Personally I'd worry about their safety... or someone stealing them? You sure don't see many Calibar burrowing pythons around- I'm not sure how good of a pet they'd make, but the small size is nice. I just hope it was c/b & not a w/c import. Blue light or not, I can tell that's a gorgeous boa-

I really like that big green rhino rat snake- obviously a friendly soul. Hey, thanks for sharing pics!
