I can't wait to go to my very first Reptile Show!! we are planning on showing up by noon and staying till end of day. Hopefully this will make the breeders there more willing to wheel and deal!! (Do you guys think so??) I am on limited funds for this show, just because of where it landed in the payday schedule!! So I need a good deal if I am bring anyone home from this show. Freezer full of different sized prey items, so all's good on that front.

I am looking for a sub-adult, male Reverse Okeetee, Buckskin Okeetee or Abbot's Okeetee. Any idea's on how much that will run me??

I got my Buckskin Okeetee for $20.. not sure how $$ it will be over where you are though.
Hope you get what you want for a price you can handle!!

Yes, I got a really great deal on an Amel 3 yr old male. Check out the "meet Helios" thread.

Glad you came back with a snake buddy!

It's always so exciting to go to expos, and even more when you come back home with something.~ I'm thinking of getting a Vorax gecko next time around.

there were lots of little gecko's there!! Some were so tiny, I had to look twice to make sure they were there!!!!

Sapphyr · 09-11-11, 09:54 PM

Ha! xD I've never seen any that tiny quite yet, but I know they're out there. ;D I'm always really interested in the larger geckos that look like they have really baggy skin, such as the Vorax gecko. Also love Tokay geckos, but I've only seen them carried by one vendor at two different shows. I've never seen it sold at expos, but I've always wanted and admired the New Caledonian Giant Gecko as well, but they're pretty expensive. ;c

there is an expo in Toronto next week... I cannot wait! I will probably come home with a corn because after all the stunning looking corns I have seen in here I need to have one....

have a good time!! There were only 3 breeders of corns at the abby show and they all seemed to have the same morphs as each other!! Almost all hatchlings. So other than the boy I brought home, the corns side was not all that interesting.

There was ALOT of BP's there, but only 2 breeders that brought morphs, all the other were normals (some were het for other things, but they were all visual normals). There was 2 really nice Piebald BP's there, one reg ($900) and one pastel (GORGEOUS!!!!! but not for sale)

This show would have been the boa lovers dream!! multiple breeders with mutiple morphs, beautiful!!
