Great shots, Greg! :)

Hey Greg, do you mind if I scam that pic of Christian and the "bowl 'o bugs" for the Rescue's site for a little while.

I'm pretty sure that is a Meller's chameleon (Chamaeleo melleri). Not possitive though.

Nice pics, looks like it was alot of fun.

[Matt.B]

Yum yum SILKWORMS :P

[chamitch]

Thanks in adavance,

[Big Mike]

Thanks for posting the pics...I wish I could have been there myself.

[vanderkm]

Excellent photos - wish I could have made it down to this show, but no luck this time. Looks like an incredible assortment of very nice animals,

The snakes in the pic above are jungle carpets..

I think i did see one or 2 irian jaya's, im pretty sure Henry Poirin had 1 for sure.

[Greg West]

As far as I remember the Carpets were on Henry's table

Great pictures! Those tortoises would have had me VERY tempted, maybe it's better I wasn't there ;)

[Greg West]

They had me very tempted as well. I have never seen the leopard tortoises before. I initially thought they were fake painted wood turtles mixed in with the spur thighs till one moved.

If only they stayed that small, I would get one for sure.

Greg

[sapphire_moon]

sooo lucky to be able to go to reptile shows! Beautiful pics. I know I wouldnt have been able to walk out without atleast one (or 4, lol) new animals.

Yeah a tiny tortoise would be sooooo cool, I think the closest we can get is a Greek tort. I may have to apply for a permit to get some of those Snake-necked turtles that Jon had displayed; they were definitely the most asked about animal on his table.

Both Henry & Gord Redman (probably Nett too) had JCPs available at the show, as well as others (myself included, but adults). If you are looking for IJs specifically Kyle has a clutch incubating & another on route? JCPs incubating as well. Mark
P.S. I may currently have a gravid JCP too & Tony also has eggs

[K1LOS]

ahhh! i want to go ! Those were some nice pics.

[PortCreditPets]

Great looking Expo, congratulations on its success.

Well after seeing the pictures I’ll have to make it out to Calgary for the next show! It’ll be a long trip from Ottawa but I’ve always wanted to see Calgary and I couldn’t think of a better excuse. I hope the dragons don’t mind the long flight! I hope it will be a one way trip for them at least. :)

[Greg West]

If you want to reserve your tables before June 1, tables for Taras members are $20.00 per table. Non-TARAS members will be charged $30/table before June 1 and bothe prices will be going up after that date. We will be deciding on that price at our next meeting. Hope to see a bunch of you easterners at our next show. I think it would be well worth the trip.

[Greg West]

How about some ssnakess representation as well???? Jeff?? Shane?? Would be nice to have you guys promote the website out here as well.

Greg West

[gonesnakee]

I 2nd Greg's posts. Its been a while since anyone from out east came. We had Corey Woods one year, but its been a poor turn out for the Easterners since (EDIT: I mean snake people Gary LOL see post below). Would love to see some new vendors & their stock, as well as the ssnakess guys. Mark

[Gary D.]

Connie Dorval (Arboreal Exotics) is from Eastern Canada and shows fairly regularly. I even got a fantastic little male Nosey Be Panther Cham from her this show.

[Capital Dragons]

Thanks Greg, I’ll pm you for the details. I’ll also have to ask Connie how to get all my show set up out there. I guess I’ll have to down size my display a bit. Shipping a 66lb pound bag of dried play sand will cost a fortune. Maybe I’ll have to use shelf liner instead.

But it will be nice to meet some fellow Herp lovers and “talk shop”. That’s one of the best things about going to the T.O. expo. Even though it’s normally a busy day. I can’t wait! Here are a few pic’s from the last T.O. expo. It was at tear down and it is only the left half.

Great photos!
That was an Argentine Tegu?
~Greg~

[Gary D.]

That's a Colombian tegu (aka gold tegu, etc.)

You book the table and I'll buy and bring you a fresh bag of play sand to use and dipose of after the show.

[Clownfishie]

Awesome pics Greg, thanks for sharing!! Looks like there was some amazing animals there... I'm definitely going to have to make an effort to get out there for the fall show... :D

[Oliverian]

Very cool! Yea, I was talking to Christian about how the butterworms looked like food and then he ate one. It was very cool. I was tempted to reach in there and eat one too, but I didn't have the guts. :D A very very aweseome show!

Thank you so much for the offer Ron! That would be awesome! I love the look of sand and it holds heat better than shelf liner. And the dragons would feel more comfortable.

Herp lovers are great! I'll let you know when I book the table.
Thanks again:)

[Greg West]

We hope to have at least 150 tables for the next show, so if all goes well it will be the show that you don't want to miss. Let me know if you want any more info and I will get you the paperwork and the info you need.

Greg West

[TheRedDragon]

Awesome photos Greg!! I added them to my other collection of photos from the show. :)

[homebrewed]
