Daytona Expo Pictures (DUW)

waspinator421 Aug 26, 2008 09:27 PM

Well, the Daytona Expo was a blast! This was my first year visiting this show, and I'll definetely be coming back. I got to meet a few internet people in person, and see a ton of awesome animals. I didn't take very many pictures, but I did get a good amount. Please forgive the blurry ones!

The doors had just opened for the top floor tables, and this is the view of the main floor that hadn't opened to the public yet.

I can't remember what this snake is called, but I remember it was a hybrid created by Gonyo, Inc. Very cool animal with the slowest tongue flick I have ever seen. Even the babies flicked very slowly!


At the Herps LTD table ther were some Albino Green Iguanas, and a few other neat things.




Some Aberrant Nelson's Milks at Ward's World of Reptiles. They also had many Cornsnakes at their table.




Reptile Addicts had a bunch of neat animals including a Rhino Rat that I was drooling over. I wan't Rhinos so bad!!



Panther Chameleons

Red Sided? Garter Snakes

Ophiological Services had a pair of GORGEOUS yellow Carpet Pythons. I've never seen Carpets this neon before... and the hefty price tag probably explains why.



They also had some BRBs and a really cool Paradox Albino Ball Python.


Here are a few neat animals at Ball Room Pythons' table.



Tom Keogan had some beautiful Ringed and Black Headed Pythons. I didn't get a picture for some reason, but he had some awesome Axanthic Blackheads too.


Some display Okeetee Corns on Lee Abbott's table.

Morph Makers had some great Bamboo Ratsnakes. Another species I want someday!


Found some more BRBs at Ben Siegel's table.

Dragon Attack had some way cool animals, like this Sailfin Dragon.


Found another group of BRBs at Exotic Jungle.

Captive Born Creations had another drool inducing animal there. Vaillanti, another type of Bamboo Rat.

Some Balls that caught my eye at Marc Bailey's table. He had some nice Honduran Milks as well, but it was too busy for me to get a good picture of them.


An Ornate Uromastyx at Lindsey Pike's table who did not want to sit still.



Strictly Reptiles had a BRB with some neat aberrant crescents. I was so close to buying this one, and I still can't believe I managed to leave it there.


A Hypo BRB at East Bay Vivarium.

Cryptic Creatures had a neat assortment of animals, incuding some baby BRBs.



Blackheaded Python.

Some Woma Pythons.

Here is my S.O. at A&M Geckos holding an adult Mali Uromastyx.

A pretty Reticulated Python at Mike Bell's table.

Some neat Pueblan Milks at BHB Reptiles.

Here are some pretty Brazilian Rainbow Boas at Jeff Clark's table.



He also had this Peruvian Rainbow.

South Mountain Reptiles had this neat Aberrant Ruthven's Kingsnake.


Constrictors & Associates had some neat BCI.


After we finally made it to all the tables, Ethan and I went back upstairs for a snack. It was pretty cool to be able to see the show from above.

This post got kind of long, so I'll post pictures of what I brought home in a different post.

Thanks Doug! I like to try and take pictures of the big shows that I go to. I also really like it when others show off a reptile show that I couldn't make it to. It's the next best thing to going there myself! That is why I share my pics to you all!

That was nice! I haven't been to Daytona in years and was wondering what the 2008 show was like.

Thanks!

Tim

Thank you Tim! This show was a blast! I was afraid that many of the vendors wouldn't show because of the hurricane. Suprisingly I only saw 2 or 3 empty tables.

LOL! Yeah, I e-mailed this link to my dad and he was totally taken aback at how big the hobby was, and the variety of the animals out there. Now he understands!!
