nope but when she seen it she had to have it lol. however she is a reptile keeper and has 3 lovely argentine rainbows and some other random stuff. I think florida is the way to go for step number one of getting my life back on track.

I was thinking about going to that one. How many vendors and were they making many sales? Who had Rainbow Boas for sale?

TimS Jun 07, 2009 09:09 PM

I wasn't there real long but i didn't see many rainbows at all besides one table. there was a decent amount of vendors had a nice assortment of everything at the show however a few vendors stuck out like sore thumbs and quality was pretty low on animals. Sales must have been pretty good since alot of people were walking round with bags deli cups etc etc. If i remember right there is supposed to be one in tampa that is bigger and better.
I was however a little upset at the show, i needed a snake hook and didn't see not a one there.

i was very impressed with one vendor who had nice carpets and this other who had 2 amazing type 2 black eye anery boas.

I don't think that is an albino..albino or amelanism would take out all the black/brown pigment..that Tegu has plenty of that left and dark eyes. An albino would have pink eyes. It probably an axanthic (no red pigment) tegu.

Nice looking though.
