Rhacodactylus in Daytona

Dewback Aug 18, 2003 09:03 PM

Did anyone go to the show this weekend? I missed the Gecko Talks on friday, but I went to both days of the show. It seemed to be a good year for Rhacodactylus breeders. I went on Saturday afternoon and most of the crested geckos that the vendors had brought sold out in the morning. Sunday afternoon, however, I managed obtain 4 really great looking "Flame" babies for $100.

I was wondering if anyone went to the show. If so, what other phases were available from other dealers? I only saw the ones at Reptiles by Mack, Ben Siegel, Dragon's Den, Sandfire, Reptile Industries, and Regal. There were lots of other species. I saw quite a few leachianus and auriculatus too. There were also coupons for free T-Rex foods if you showed them a receipt for each species purchased. I managed to get their last bottle of Crested food and have started mixing it with peach baby food with some success.

I am new to crested geckos and have been lurking on this forum for quite a long time. I will probably be posting more since I have these new guys. So far, two out of the four have eaten baby food mixed with the crested food (not bad in the first 24 hours).

You didn't miss anything, there were probably all total maybe 75 Cresteds in the whole show, and that count was from 9am Sat, 1 hr before show opened to the public. Very disapointing.
