I will be going to Columbia but not as a vendor. I was set up at the Raleigh NC show last weekend and it bombed. It was a circus. Literally! They had camels, donkey rides and clowns. I did not sell anything. The brokers and pet shop vendors selling wildcaughts and sick animals did great.I left early on sat and paid $140 for a table at a two day show. I think I am done with those wild animal shows as they attract locale folks who do impulse buys on snakes. I feel sorry for them.
Columbia is the same promoter but the hots might atrract a different crowd. Well see.

Yeah, I've heard that show is pretty full of jackasses and the like.

The one they had in Orlando had face painters for the kiddies, performers juggling flaming torches (I'm serious), and all the half dead uromastyxs anyone could ever want to see.

The lavender Speckled king originated from south Louisiana. The first one was found in a pet store in the New Orleans area. It was said to have been found in the wild.

Was that the only one ever found? So did all the lavenders originate from this one lone male discovered in a pet shop? Who bred this animal to make hets?
Have there been other lavenders that popped up in w/c or c/b animals?

There has got to be more info from someone??
