Today I went to the Pet expo in Victoria. I spent all my time at the reptile and spider tables. I got a picture with me and a 10 ft albino burmese python at aleast 80 lbs. I also handled a 8 foot albino burm at 50 lbs and a normal 5 foot burm. I wrangled a snow, grey, amelanistic, and normal corn snakes at once. i also handled a very friendly bird eating spider, an indigo snake, an albinno gopher snake, Jungle carpet python, emperor scorpion, a cockatooo, snery honduran milksnake and a normal ball python. Pretty good for 4 hours and I also got to take over one of the reptile tables while the people at the table did a seminar. I also met the people who did the leopard gecko Telus commmercials and a bunch of other animal commercials.

I was there and i loved it. Gary, the guy from Cinemazoo convinced me to hold the bird eating tarantula. Very scary for me. I want another show here just for herps.

Yea I had that spider while I was talking about it for an hour. What time did you go. I went Saturday 2-6pm. You might've seen me.

Nice... but I think you might have exagerated the weights a little bit... a 7 foot burm at 50 lbs you say? Most 7 foot bloods are around 40lbs... just my opinion though...

I was their from opening at 10 until noon. I watched Gary do his fear factor thing with some of his snakes and bugs from Cinemazoo.

672: as I remember those weights are about the same as what I was told. I think that the exhibitors may have exagerated them a bit. Both burms were really healthy sized animals though.
