who's going to DAYTONA!?!?!?!?

NUCCIZ_BOAS Jul 29, 2007 08:51 PM

this is my 3rd year going to the (in my opinion) superbowl of reptile expos. And I live only 10 mins away from the site of NARBC Chicago. But Daytona is my favorite! I don't know about everybody else, but these next 2.5 weeks before I leave are going slower and slower by the day. I'm curious as to where/if everybody will be getting together to chit-chat about snakes. Possibly over some drinks!? I would really like to meet a lot of you guys and finally be able to talk snakes in person and identify names with faces.

It's not coming fast enough!!!!!

Well I've only been to the Daytona show once back in 2003, But it was a blast. I went down with a friend Leroy Adams. We met-up with Mack Robinette of Robinette Reptiles and his girlfriend Sheila and went to the Hilton lounge. There we hung with Doug Matusak and Jeff, Doug's buddy and they introduced us around to alot of other folks. At the show I got to see my old friend Johnathan Brady, met Jeff Ronne (who's a great guy BTW) and did some business with him, hung out with Doug and Jeff at their tables and got to put a face to alot of names and voices. Sorry I started to reminisce a bit too much. I am planning on attending this year if work permits. Hope to meet a lot more faces to put with the names.

I will be there as well. This is my 3rd year in the last 4 and I look forward to each one more than the last. Yes, it is the Super Bowl or herp shows. We hung out at teh Hilton lounge last year and then headed out to a few other establishments. It was a blast.

We'll be there again this year and we're definitely looking forward to seeing everyone again! I can't believe how fast it's come up though. Is it already the end of July? Geez!

See you all in a few weeks!!

This will be my first year in 4 years that I'm not going as the help for a vendor (VERY sad about that), but I'll be there and I can't wait to see everyone!

I unfortunately can't make it, but can someone take some notes or video of the Boa Symposium? With the list of speakers I'm sure it will be very informative, and a must see. Of course all of us no-shows would love to see some pictures of the weekend too! Have fun everyone, and hopefully I'll make it next year.

There will be plenty of boa people and boas there. I'm looking very forward to seeing some of those little guys that have popped out this year. The lounge at the Hilton is the place to spot the reptile crowd. You won't need to hunt for long.

We'll be earning our keep behind the Zoo Med booth. I hope everyone has a safe trip and hope to see some of you there.

I'll be there this year!!! My girlfriend and I are coming down south from Canada for the show. I just can't wait to get there! We were supposed to be a bunch from Montreal, but a lot of people backed off... We're not looking to buy, maybe some dry goods, but I can't wait to get my eyes on some incredible animals!!!
