New England Reptile Expo- April 1st

youngster · 03-15-12, 10:20 AM

We have a few New Englanders on here so I figured I would post this.

New England Reptile Expo

I've gone twice, it's not the biggest expo but it's not bad.
This one is right after my birthday so I'll probably be picking up lots of supplies. If you're gonna be there shout at me!

Since you're not getting any snakes focus on pics (hint: carpets)

also, you should definitely post a pic of Mayhem's dad when you get a chance...

Will do, sir. He's not for sale though, so they prolly won't have him there.

But I'll definitely get lots of pictures.

I will be there.. I am getting some decor and possible 1-2 new snakes and a lizard. It depends on quality of what I see this time. I have to say I was fairly disappointed last time.

I agree with you Kat, some of the vendors in January had sub-par display enclosures, I hope that's different this time.

I will be looking out for a few of the vendors I spoke with last time. I have names written down. One guy had horrid shed stuck on half of his animals, a few looked ill and 1 had a large scab. If he is back and has same conditions I am reporting him. I also spoke to a great vendor that has a BTS that I want and if they have it still they will be bringing it for me to purchase as well as a pinstirpe royal. I have spoken to them a few times via e-mail.

Bump

I think I'm going to try to get a nice PVC cage at the expo, last time there were a few nice arboreal neodesha's there that I want for cheap.

Black jungle usually has them for a very good price... They will be there.

Looks like a big event. Looking forward to the pics Eli.

buuuuuuuuump, it's tomorrow, can't wait I have $170 to spend on reptile supplies

Gungirl · 03-31-12, 12:10 PM

I am ready and waiting.. I will be there at 10am. I really hope it is better than the last one.

Just got home, got a bunch of supplies

I wasn't too impressed by some of the vendors. There were loads of savs in screen top enclosures and I saw more than one uneducated person buying them.

But I got some substrate, perches, a cool hide, a cool wood climbing thing, a lamp, and some other little things. REALLY wanted a bredli and a diamond jungle jag but unfortunately that wasn't in the agenda

Kat share what you got!

MoreliAddict · 04-01-12, 02:24 PM

Pics of the diamond jungle jag?

youngster · 04-01-12, 02:30 PM

No, no pics

My mom forgot the camera AGAIN

smh

I am with you on the Sav issue.. It was very sad to see all those tiny babies being sold for so cheap. I was happy with a few vendors this time though. I managed to get 4 rock hides, some cypress, a small male pinstripe royal and a baby Blue tongue skink. I also picked up a huge viv made out of oak with plexi on 3 sides, it came with a few light sets, water dish and a rolling storage base all for under $75. The viv itself is 3ft wide x 2 ft deep and 22" tall. I think I am going to use this set up for the BTS once he gets bigger. It is VERY well made....

I would have never seen you Eli but I noticed the bandana and figured it had to be you..lol
I didn't take pics either.. but I will post some of my new guys and the viv soon.
