Hamburg Expo Photos

[alessia55]

Went to the Hamburg PA reptile expo today... Only got frozen rats and a book. But took some pics for you guys! The lighting at the venue was awful, and it was impossible to shoot in manual, so most of the pics aren't great, but at least you get some!! ;)

Maybe the most important photo of the bunch....I held a tortoise! I've always been pretty freaked out/nervous about them, but I promised myself I'd hold one. So here's the proof!

Awesome pics Alessia! Why did turtles/tortoises make you nervous?

I'm fine with turtles... I just always thought tortoises would bite me or scratch me. IDK, they always made me nervous and uncomfortable. Boyfriend really wants one someday, and told me to start getting used to them, so this was a start! :o :p

[millertime89]

Good work then! Sulcatas are pretty cool tortoises. I've checked them out a few times and they're just so friggin cute.

[DragonsEye]

Some nice critters! Those baby torts were frickin adorable!

[Terranaut]

What no carpet pythons???
Lol. Looks like fun can't wait till the expo tomorrow.

[Caylan]

Cool photo;s thanks for sharing. Look pretty comfortable holding that tortoise, want one yet? I know I do for some odd reason.... I really like that one monitor shot at the top of the 4th set.

[jaleely]

haha i love the tiny baby giant pyxie frog! ironic!

What kind of monitor is this, Varanid fans?

Thanks for the pics Alessia!

[infernalis]

I guess it's a good thing I didn't go.... I see Monitors there.

[SSSSnakes]

I was there. Had a nice time and picked up a baby Canebrake Rattlesnake. The place was packed, you could hardly move in some of the isles. Hamburg has some of the coolest reptiles around.

Alessia, did you see Outback Reptiles there? My friend (David Deem) was working behind the table. He has his own business, but works for them.

Yup, they're always the busiest table haha. I barely made it to see their stuff. The Hamburg show is always packed with people. It's hot and crowded, but the reptiles there are really something worth going to see.

nice pics, i'm liking the lucy alot.

thanks for posting!

edit: why no carpets??http://www.lilwaynehq.com/forums/images/smilies/smh.gif

[alessia55]

Ok guys OK OK so I didn't get any carpet pics... there were LOTS of carpets there. I just suck because I'm a ball python kind of person and I get distracted with those and totally skip over any carpets LOL ya'll are gonna kill me for that :p

[alessia55]

In my defense, my friend Karen who came with me knew nothing about reptiles and it was her first time at an expo and I told her allllll about carpets and how they're wonderful etc etc :rolleyes: :p

[millertime89]

We need more pictures of carpets, monitors, retics, burms, and everything else next time you go! Just more pictures in general. When I go to big gatherings like these I just take loads of shots and go back through and choose the best to edit.

[alessia55]

Yeah, I always wish I'd taken more pics. Unfortunately that's the last expo I'll be going to up here... and there's hardly any near Miami (back home). So we'll see what happens from here on if I ever go to an expo again
