That's what my wife said to me last Sunday afternoon as I was dismantling my booth at the San Jose Reptile Show. I was curious so I asked who. The answer topped off what had already been a great weekend, Nigel she said. I said you've got to be kidding me!!!!!



Nigel Marven had been at the show all weekend as our guest speaker and I had only been able to say hi to him once. The thought of having him over at my house for dinner was almost curial. My wife told me how she figured since he had driven out to San Jose from Florida that he would probably appreciate a home cooked meal so she went up to him and asked him if he liked enchiladas. She said his eyes about popped out of his head when he said yes!



Before I knew it I was driving down the highway to my house with Nigel Marven and Jim and Mary Alexander the Herp World Expo promoters close behind.



To say the least it was a great evening sitting around talking and laughing with Nigel as if we were old friends.



Here are a few photos my wife and I took of Nigel in my snake room as I showed him my collection.





Nigel really liked the male Lipstick Sunglow that I got from Mike Panichi.







Here's Nigel holding onto my female sunglow motley that was pictured in the ad of the September issue of Reptiles Magazine that promoted the San Jose Herp World Expo.



Here we are looking at one of my piebald ball pythons.



I hope those that went to show had a great time. It will obviously go down as one of my favorites.



Thanks Babe.......
