The weekend started off on the right foot. Lance and I met up with Mike Price and Shawn from the San Angelo Nature Center for Dinner and photos. Lance and I went right at open to the convention center. It was probably the best show I have ever seen in Arlington... EVER... Over 30 vendors and some decent variety. I got to see Nigel Marvin and ran into many folks from the past. Lets start with the Animal listings and then attendees.
1. Ball Pythons, Ball Pythons, Ball Pythons.. all phases and prices from 50 bucks to 10,000 dollars. The most hilarious phase was "Latte" phase.
2. Decent variety of colubrids. Lots of corns and some kings and milks. A few lone males.
3. 2 Vendors with Green Tree Pythons.
4. 2 (decent) Vendors with Arachnids.
5. Lots of Variety of Lizards, skinks, agama's, monitors, etc...
6. 3 or 4 Vendors with Tortoises.
In attendance was Bob Applegate, Jeff Barringer, Dave Barker, Bob Clark, Bill Love, Larry Briggs, Don Shores, Mike Price and many Alterna Land Folks.
Strange that in 16 years now in the herp community that I have met so many people and in my own back yard, until today I had never met Dave Blody. It was a real pleasure talking with him for a while.
Big Thanks to Jeff B for the kingsnake.com shirt and meeting Chris McMartin. Chris I am sorry we didn't get to do a meal or something. My wife is getting close to labor and I was pushing it by attending the convention. I hope we can meet up again soon and spend more time. Well, I left the convention with 1.1 Sanderson Alterna, .2 Black Gaps, 2 t-shirts (both free), 2 posters and a new snake grabber that is AWESOME!
Take Care,
Steven
