Hello Joe,

Yes, we're packing up the traveling zoo and heading to Peoria this weekend. My guess is that we'll have around 10-12 exhibits with a variety of cobras, rattlers, and various other hots. The Rhino Viper doesn't travel well due to stress so he's staying home. The xanthic culminatus might be a possibility but I think she's going into a shed cycle (never fails eh?)....I'll see how she looks towards Friday when we leave). Otherwise, my hope is that I'll have:
- 4-6 species of cobras
- timber rattler (need to have at least one native hot)
- xanthic culminatus (unless going into shed)
- western green mamba
- so. american bushmaster
- Cerastes
- white lipped viper
- eyelash viper
- gila monster
- and a few other odd ball animals
