Here are some pics that I took when I went to reptile world last weekend. Hope you like. I had never seen some of the animals that they had there, so overall I thought it was a pretty good experience.

This thing looked so funny. Such a huge grin. I had never even heard of one of these before. Pretty funny looking.

this guy seemed to be blind in one eye. The other eye (not shown) was just gold with no pupil. I had never seen a partially blind snake before.

Heres Fred the Alligator. They are in the process of building him a new home. They got him to do his territorial display which was kind of neat to see. You could feel the vibrations he was making in his body under your feet. It was pretty neat.

Here is my Male Gecko I sold to them at the Spring Show and Sale in Calgary. They look pretty happy to me. They must be. Between him and the 2 females they have had 4 eggs hatch out and another 2 on the way.

I believe this used to be Rob McRobbies Male Veild. He was in a glass cage with lots of climbing area. Obviously it is possible to house chameleons in Glass cages providing they have ample climbing area and hide spaces.

This is his cage that he was in.

This is the cage that my geckos are housed in. Nice setup but I would hate having to clean their mess off of the wood. It was so easy when I had them just using a razor blade on the glass

hey,

nice pictures, i still haven't had the chance to make it out there this year. hey look there are my azureus's brothers and sisters. ya i went there last year and they had 30 and i was like whoa cause i though seeing 6 togther was crazy but 30, now that was amazing.

ya, did they buy the female (i think it was a female) that was growing her tail back in, cause she was nice. ya well looks like your little buggers went to a good home.

Laurier,

that was actually a rescued male that I think you are talking about. It actually went to some guy and his son. I was a little leary when I dropped everything off. They wanted to put a pacman frog in the bottom of its cage. I hope its doing alright. I gave tehm all the information that they needed.
