I forgot a lot!



I have a giant bottle of germ-x on the table and its usually gone by the days-end.



I have done the feeding thing before-- only problem is- its never worked after long distances. i only feed if its a local show- and theres only one animal that will take anything that hits the cage- a 7 foot red tail. we use frozen thawed. its a GREAT chance to show people how f/t food is more humaine and blah blah- then i'll hold it in the tank and she'll take it from the tongs and she wraps it up- puts on a great show for people.Never had one regurge on me- but thats why i only feed the one snake- shes a garbage disposal!



I feed beardies and things- b/c they'll eat crickets anytime. I offer them thier usual salads in the mornings- most dont eat.



As far as mishaps- i've been very lucky and not had any problems. nobody's been bitten or scratched up real bad or anything like that.



every event we go to, i wish i had more help. we usually have 3-5 people and we knock 2 of them out with one animal... so its a matter of regulating the # of animals out at a time.





You might check with a rescue in your area- i'm assuming youre in PA from the other comments- i know theres some rescues there. I don't know how they operate but if an individual collector contaced us and wanted to do some shows WITH us- i'd be thrilled to have the extra help! (and see some new critters!)



Another big thing i'm noticing more and more- is that the 'normal' stuff doesn't get the same attention it used to. The big burms are knockouts every time but the normal balls and things aren't as impressive i guess... i'm wanting to get my hands on some fancy morph BP's to use...



anyway- we're remodeling our kitchen and hubby wants help so i'm off here for now.



Thanks

Beth
