I'll most likely be making an appearance from the island. I was going to be a vendor but my hatchlings won't be ready by then. I'm glad BC is getting more into the reptile game and expos, not as awesome as the Ontario shows, but it is very true that the BCRC is young.

Yeh I am not too far away from 15th . But then again nothing is too far away in this town lol. I am looking forward to this show . I am also working on trying to get an expo going here in the north too. If not this year then next year for sure. Hoping to work it out this year though. Even have a chance of having the Python hunters come here and at least do a guest appearance and if the timing is right , maybe even have them film an episode here . maybe I can take them down to Williams Lake area for a little Rubber Boa hunting lol.

too bad about your hatchlings, but we'll have another one in the fall, usually around sept-oct. What lind of snakes do you breed?

It will be great to see you there regardless, come have a chat with me!!

That would be great!! I would attend that show!!! Once you get it all hammered out you'll have to let me know table costs.

But, I went to the fall show put off by the same org. There were alot of beautiful boas, lots of morph variety there and in BP's as well. Many different lizzards, ??(the water ones with the weird x name??) TONS of supplies, cages ect... They were sadly lacking in Corn breeders there (only 3 and 2 of them only had 1 morph each) So Hopefully I will have healthy hatchlings by that time!! I also plan on having the larger prey items there which they say no-one has ever brought, so we should do well in that area. I am making different viv decorations and props, backgrounds hides and climbs. Hubby is making some 6 bin rat racks for me to sell as well (unfortunately, they will not let me bring live rodents in, so customers who buy the racks can come out to my house for thier first breeders if they want)

What we did at the Des Moines show was we had a table with our racks but the rats were outside in the van in the parking lot. I led customers to the van to pick up their rats after they paid for them.

Sounds good in theory, but by april and until sept/oct it can be very hot around here, especially in a car!! Maybe hubby could sit under a tree with the live cages and I'll send them out to him!! LMAO!!
