I went to the San Mateo reptile show June 14 and 15
For the only show in Northern CA?- I was hoping for more. 8-(
But I bought 3 snakes from THE Bob Applegate.
He is a great guy. Very Honest and knew what he was talking about.
I saw his famous Pyros(nice). I ended up getting 1.0 Striped/Splotched Sinaloan plus 0.1 Het. for Striped plus 0.1 Sinaloan Norm

Very happy about the whole thing.

Yeah Bob is a great guy with KILLER animals (even if he doesn't realize what a great snake Black Milks are...hee hee). I talked to him there as well and he told me he has never missed an IRBA show. Neat, huh?

I guess people who went on Sunday was left with very litle vendors, but I did get to talk to THE Bob Applegate also. Cool guy. We talked about Applegate Pyros and the such.

I went both days. SAME AMOUNT OF BOOTHS!!
I see pictures in REPTILES magazine of enormous shows with over 200 vendors. This one had 10 maybe 11 vendors if you count the small cart selling candy bars.
I don't want to make it sound like I had a bad time. I bought three snakes that day. A very good day for me!

In all of Northern California, I find it hard to believe that there is not a bigger reptile show.?

Oh yeah, I got Applegate to sign my book.

Usually the Sacramento show is better. It happens Sept. 2-3 this year I think. Unfortionately, like the San Mateo Show, it seems to have declined over the past few years...

Bob is a good friend of mine. He is a riot! Lots of fun.
