well... i went to the victorville show...looked at their geckos...and ther were only 2 gecko breeders...lllreptiles and montezuma reptiles...i wanted to get 2 baby blizzards...40 each...but then for some reason i didn't...so i came home with...absolutely nothing...but 3 feet of heat tape and a digi thermometer with probe for 6.99....the one of the crappiest shows ive ever been to....although montezuma reptiles had one of the nicest striped leos for 80...which was a bargain...but once again...i don't know why i didn't get her...

in conclusion...the victorville show was horrible...

I am working at the reptile show all weekend in Victorville. I have to admit, I had higher expectations. Being that it's baby season and all! I ended up getting a blizzard from LLL. You should have stopped by and said hi!

are u a girl?...cuz i saw a girl that bought a blizzard from there...AND I WAS GONNA BUY ONE TOO!!!...but i couldn't...cuz i dont' know why my hands didn't reach into my pockets...it was a pretty good deal too...ahhhH!!...if ur not the person i saw...wel...im sorry i didn't say hi..but i doid't know who u were ...tell me...how much did u get for the baby and hows ur new baby?...and how do u plan on keeping it...i dunno...ive been keeping geckos for a while...but still get nervous when i get new ones...especially hatchlings..

wait...u bought it like last few minutes of the show huh?...dressed in black with a name tag thingy and whipped out a 100 dollar bill for that beautiful blizzard baby....!!...ahh....i want one soo bad!...

WOW! You have quite an impressive memory! Yes, that was me I was working at the booth just across the way with the Tiger and Bobcat.
I walked the show OVER and OVER trying to decide on what would come home with me that day! I finally decided on the blizzard. He/She is doing well. I put her in a tank with my other juvie leo. My other leo is a little bit bigger, but they seem to get along just fine. In fact, they have insisted on being in the same hide as each other all night lol. She eats like a champ too!

oh...u better update ur thingy to 0.1.1 leopard geckos ...what are u gonna name it?

Oh yah! No name yet. Still working on it. You drove from LA? That's a long drive! This show wasn't nearly as crowded as the one in Costa Mesa in January! Still, it was such a long day! Especially since I'm alleric to hay, and that's what the tiger and bobcat were using for bedding!!

Yah I know it took me a long time to decide, but that's what I originally went to look for. I was surprised at how little leos there were there! A ton of Ball Pythons though. It was a little disappointing. (Gotta clarify that I'm disappointed in the vendors/breeders- not Kevin and Radical Reptiles)
I'm feeding her mealies.

yes...i was extremely disappointed too...if im correct...there were exactly 2...montezuma...and LLL reptile...i wouldn't even call LLL reptile a breeder cuz they have soo many other ones and have only a few geckos up for sale...altho they are fine quality...i went to the show to look for a blizzard...and for some reason or another..i came home empty handed...so disappointed...

-eric chen...thanks for sharing about ur blizzard
