It was pretty cool, actually. I heard from a friend that it was better than the Richmond show last week. It was still not as big as I had hoped, but I guess it was large for a mainly herp show. I got to see a piebald ball python, which was being sold for $12,000.
Being a gecko guy, I was constantly overlooking all the snakes (there were miles and miles of snakes) to find the geckos. It would have been a good show if I had needed a baby albino or normal, but there were few larger geckos worth it there. We saw zero fattail geckos at the show. There were a number of baby viper geckos, selling for $35, but we don't have time for them right now, so we decided to wait.
We didn't see Glades Herp, which were supposed to be there, I believe. We ended up purchasing some heat tape and connectors, 500 crickets for $8 and a Reptiles Magazine renewal for 2 years/$28.
All in all I guess it was a great show, but with the overabundance of snakes, I was left empty handed gecko-wise. Doug Barr was there, with is awesome herpcages.com cages, but again, we couldn't seem to figure out where one would fit in for us.
There was a clown, which my wife wanted to punch, because she hates clowns, and a baby tiger, which you could get a picture with for a $10 donation. ----- Rob Jenkins
