Off to a reptile Expo

[Norm66]

We're leaving for Columbus, Ohio in a few minutes to go to their monthly reptile expo. This is my 2nd show and honestly I'm still excited about going.

My main goal is to pick up a nice temperature gun, some plastic enclosures (faunariums right?), heat pads, some rat pinks (for our friend) and a small snake hook.

Secondarily we're looking for ball morphs since my wife has taken such a liking to them but we're only buying if the price and quality is really right. I'm also looking for a really exceptional baby motley cornsnake. I would like an anery motley like one of our members posted pics of a while back but I'm not locked into anery. Some of the sunglow motleys looked pretty good too.

And the coolest thing is we're taking our friends' 3 year old son Seth with us for the day. We don't have our own kids so we rent them from our friends when we feel the need. ;^) We took Seth to the Columbus Zoo back in September and other than the huge aquarium what held his attention the most was the reptiles. So this should be quite a day for him.

Y'all have a great day, I'll probably post some pics when I get back. The first time I pretty much forgot to take any in my excitement. Hopefully it'll be different this time.

Well, we're most of the way back. Stopped at our favorite Italian place 45 minutes from home. Had a great time even though there weren't as many vendors as the last time. Seth had fun, I think he's a turtle guy more than a snake guy though. Lol.

Once again I completely spaced on pictures. I get caught up looking around and just forget.

We did get an amazing deal on a beautiful female pinstripe ball python. She's just gorgeous. And she's sitting next to me in the booth at the restaurant in my bag I use to carry my iPad. I think we're calling her with Tempe or Zeva.

Also got a heat pad, a cage hook, a sexing probe kit (Christmas present for my friend), plus a bag of fuzzy rats. Still need to hit wal mart for some tubs to keep the new guys in. But first...a nice IPA and an Italian sausage hoagie.

Pics of the new girl soon after we get home.
