Rocky Mountain Reptile Expo February 2013

[BarelyBreathing]

First, I want to say that the show sucked. There weren't a whole lot of vendors. Of the ones that were there, only about five were actually good. For the minimal amount of vendors at the show, the boothes were way too close together (the space was HUGE, more than enough room to spread out) causing chaos.

Anyway, here are some of the highlights.

I'll start with the blood pythons. Let me tell you, I've never seriously considered blood pythons before this expo. WOW!

Just a note for new snake owners, snakes shouldnt be allowed around the neck, this thread explains why. I suggest just reading the first couple of pages :)

Oh Rob, we thought you might say that.

No worries, this was done in a comepletely safe environment. There were many people standing around to help if something went wrong.

[Donnie]

The blue iguana is amazing :Wow:

Love the pre planning ;)

[BarelyBreathing]

Wasn't he? Oh gosh, I want that lizard so bad.

[Donnie]

I see Joe is wearing a vital exotics 'T' shirt, is he the man behind vital exotics?

[BarelyBreathing]

No, he isn't.

[marvelfreak]

I am loving the Black Bloodshed and my dream Blood the Baskit. (thing i spelled it right)

[BarelyBreathing]

[MDT]

Oh Rob, we thought you might say that.

That's great. I'm loving that. :)

Kyle you seem to have a good time and your location is proving to be quite strategic. Your central location is ideal for the 8 hour drive there as well as the 8 hour drive to Tinley Park. Can we say "jeeaaloouuss..."? ;)

[Aaron_S]

Huh. Funny. I saw a picture of Kyle just before he went in to the show. I wonder where he changed so quickly.

Cool looking animals though. I do wonder though, how come the giant snake lovers always have to be holding a python in their hands? Makes you think ;)

[millertime89]

I'm touched! I've got a genuine hater.

You should be so special. I forgot about you until Hedy mentioned some incident. I still don't know what she meant.
