I've been wanting a hedgehog for a while. They are pretty hard to come by where I live.

oh man, i love hedgies!! post some pictures!
it's pretty hard to resist buying an animal at shows...i attribute it to the whole 'shopping atmosphere'...you go to a mall, and it's really easy to buy a pretzel or a pair of shoes. at pet shows, it's the same instinct, but you end up buying living things...!

I managed to fight the urge to buy somethig this show, it was hard and it took all my super powers, but I managed to prevail and only come home with some foor for my turtles.
By the way thansk Roesencrantz for the ride to the show and will see you tomorrow at work.

i know how many people ask questions and make new threads for things that have already been asked and answered many times before, all it takes is 5minutes to look up and down the forums to find the exact same question..did i do something wrong? no.

Sheesh, looks like some one was jealous he didn't get to go to the show!:p

i am jealous....but still right :P
He wasn't asking a question he was sharing the fact he got a new hedgehog. Is that bothering you? If so why not get off this thread?
Congrats on the hedgehog. My friend steve used to have one that was real cute.

Pretty much every topic has been discussed before. Mabye we should stop discussing things altogether. Then you wouldn't need to be upset about a post.
The first (and only so far) show I went to, I came home with a rat snake from Tim and Julie B, and a high yellow Cali king from DNA reptiles. :D Shows are so fun!

its true i wish i could have gone, sounds like it was fun. do you get herps there cheaper then usual? but i am right, theres already a few posts about ''what did you get at the show'' a mod should just take all the post from all of them and form them into one.

From the GREAT State of Washington...
We just went to a herp show in Oct... (In Puyallup) Saw a lot of cool critters, just nothing we were interested in, or wanted to buy.
We did notice there was only ONE baby hognose for sale, the year before there were NONE. Turns out that "the powers that be", passed a law, naming the hognose a Venimous snake... and they cannot be bred or sold in this state! Turns out the seller had 5 more which he sold for $250.00 each as soon as he was told about the law....(YES, he got ticketed for the snakes)... but he made more than enough to pay for the ticket, with a BIG profit left over. (He was selling them for $100.00 each to begin with)
(We had bought our "RED PHASE" Dusty hog from Richard Evans from West Texas Reptiles a year before, so we didn't get caught up in this "sting". ) Take care.... The Doc and Jan

yes you did, I too know how to use the search feature. A real quick search of threads you started are "how do I post pictures", "how do I raise humidity", your personal use of search is now suspect as these have also been answered many times before you ever joined. You can run to another site an complain how badly you were treated here, but your not going to be allowed to castigate someone for something you have done as well without getting called on it.
maiden_canada, in case you haven't noticed this thread is getting a good amount of traffic and responses so it's obviously a topic of interest to many of the site members.
Please do not tell other members what they may or may not post, you are out of line.
Only unexpected thing I ended up with was this little monkey :p Thanks again, Mike (aka Dozer)! :p

wow beutiful what did u call her/him?
Linds, your "monkey" is drop-dead gorgeous! Nice crisp saddles and great depth of color. I'm quite jealous.
Thanks! Yeah she was a great score :p LOL... wasn't planning on getting a corn and was pretty well broke but it was a killer deal I couldn't pass on :p No name yet, hopefully soon enough, but I have to wait for jsut the right one. I still have some that haven't been named in years :o
The first 2 names that popped into my head were Bongo and George since you used the word monkey , but I'm not sure either are appropriate for a female. Guess you're on your own for this one.

1st quote......wouldnt your all so powerful search told you this......SO DONT POST IT **snakehunter says in mocking winey voice
2nd quote.....different shows, different locations etc. just b/c you think it would be easier doesnt mean it is, now if there were a show forum, for reptile show parafenalia that would be different
dude congrats on the hedgie, their awesome, good luck with him.

Very cool, I've always wanted a hedgehog. :) The "unexpected" buys of mine I'd have to say are my 1.1 Ball Pythons. I knew that I was going to a reptile show and I wasn't going to leave empty-handed, but, I really wasn't expecting those two sweethearts. :)

I stayed away from the show because it was the only way I could avoid falling to temptation. There are things I want, others I simply must have but stupid Christmas has to be paid for. Of course Christmas was the excuse my wife and I used to buy eachother a snow corn a couple weeks ago.
Props to Reverend on the vocab word of the day: "castigate"
Can you say castigate boys and girls?lol! Too bad it was wasted on someone who probably thinks it means playing with yourself. Way to go on that written pimpslap Rev.! I have another thing that we can use the search for, let's search Maiden's posts for one where he actually contributes to the discussion... could be a long search.
