Orlando Repticon this weekend.

Lobovasco

Ramses Reptiles
I was wondering if anyone from here is going to the show this weekend?

its at the central florida fairgrounds on colonial.
:cheers:
 
You know what sucks...Repticon, every single one in Florida, is on the same day as my shooting tournament, always. ALWAYS!!! Which is a Saturday, and everyone likes to go to the show Saturday.

So I don't know yet.
 
Hey Jarrett! Im going sat morning when doors open too. dont really have anything in mind just going to see if anything catches my eye ;)

(jarret sold me some amazing snakes not long ago )
Everyone is doing great here, shedding and eating great ( candy was not hungry at first but now she eating fine) Martini has a habit of pooping on me whenever I take her out lol. and cane loves to be held.


Nancy, do you think its even worth going on a sunday?

So glad to know they are doing well! How are Kraven and Viktor?

They are doing great, they are both amazing eaters and have shed twice. Viktor markings are getting more of a pattern and Kraven keeps getting Darker Red:devil01: Viktor is really a great snake, loves to be held.

Later on I will look for a girl for kraven and viktor, and another 2 female candy canes for Cane.

I just went to check the rack before going to bed and my Amel (that Troy try to sex when you guys came turned out to be a female), I paired her with a Normal Het Lava Stripe. There were 14 eggs in there!!! :cheers: all looking great but one.

OK... so I just messed up while paying for a VIP repticon ticket (only 12$ online,15$ at door) and got 3 instead of 1.

So I have 2 extra VIP tickets for Orlando repticon this Sat if anyone wants to buy them from me at the door.

let me know!

I almost took you up on that but I had a dog training seminar today and needed to do chores yesterday.
How was it? Did you get anything?
 
Thoughts on Orlando Repticon:

- First of all the cornsnake selection there was non existent, i saw maybe 10 corns in the whole show. and nothing out of the ordinary, normal, amels and anerys.

-Got to see alot of really cool animals! Im researching info on white lipped pythons bc i saw one there and it looked sooo cool. I didnt buy it bc i didnt know any info on it or if i could care for it properly.

-Pythons, lots and lots of pythons. they might as well have called it python-con instead of Repticon.

-Some keepers had their animals in OK conditions but others...omg poor animals, i only saw 2 co habbed corns, but the turtles, tortoises, geckos and some snakes you could clearly see which animals were healthy or not. I saw like 4 kingsnakes in one box all trying to get out and like 3 shed skins in there. a really small box for big snakes.

-I met a fellow forum member at the USARK table! and signed up of course.

What i got:
- I was really interested in the ball pythons everywhere and ended up getting 2!
one female het pied and one male het albino! I got a good deal on them since i also went sunday right before they were closing and got a good price (thanks for the tip Nanci) These are my first Ball Pythons ever, I got them set up each in their own tank that looks like a rainforest.

-I ended up selling 4 of my cornsnakes while walking around( on sat.) , an okeetee,an amel, and 2 normals all yearling. I sold the okeetee and amel within 5 min of walking in the door. making room for all those eggs i got on the way.

- I had a male leopard gecko,took him in to trade and found a guy packing up that had a sunkissed lavender female corn on his table. good size too, maybe a year away from breeding size. He hesitated at first but then agreed to the trade, I will surely be adding her to my breeding plans next year if not the year after.

- No Packing Supplies!!!!! I wanted to buy some so i can send in my test box to fed ex and no one there was selling any. did get a bag of Harlan Sani chips for $7!

- walking out the door on sunday I see a guy waiting to load frozen mice into his micedirect truck, i take out a $10 bill which is all I had left and asked him "what can i get for this?"
he simply hands a bag of 100 mice ( frozen ) and said "thank you".
i turned and walked swiftly to my car in case he changed his mind on that steal! lol

Now till Daytona!!!!
 
I think I used a used but new looking shipping box for my test package. One that I had received a snake in.

I wonder if that was Jenea Wood's husband, the Mouse Direct guy. I know they sell them.
 
I showed up Saturday around 2:30 or so and there was nothing of interest. The best I saw was an Anery Stripe! We ended up stocking up on mice, which is primarily why I went. The Tampa show in July should have a lot more corns. I'll probably stop in just to see what's out there...
 
Alan, it was very nice meeting you! It's a shame you didn't stop by the auction. There was quite a bit of stuff that went for dirt cheap.
