I have another thread open to this same topic. I wanted to get a reverse or a snow from Kathy. Did she have many left? How much was the reverse?

I was standing right next to you at her table! I am afraid that I concentrate so hard on looking at the animals on the tables that I don't pay attention to the people around me. However, my hubby was with me, so I asked him if the guy next to us was wearing a sling and he said yes.

I am going back today by myself, so I can look again, take some pictures, and take my time. I always feel rushed when he's with me. (he's not into reptiles) and I also feel like I can't spend any money!

I got a gorgeous crimson corn from Kathy Love, and got my pic taken with Bubba the Alligator!!

She didnt bring that much really. she had a few reverse okeetees, creamsicles, i saw a ghost or two and a few others, but it seemed like it was pretty much just the last corns she had to offer. She did have two beauty's that i needed to focus very hard to keep myself from buying :cry: the reverse okeetees were between 45 and 25

Actually I watched him for awhile to make sure he was ALIVE before I shelled out any money for a picture. He didn't move at all! Finally I saw him move that membrane over his eye. I didn't want to pay to have my picture taken with a stuffed alligator! I wonder if it's because he's cold. Jim said they don't (can't) give him a sedative or anything.

You sure you don't want to make the trip again? It takes me about an hour to get there.

Well its only about an hour and a half drive for me really, maybe i can be persuaded
 
Just got back from the "Crowded" show in Philly. There was a ton of ball pythons there, most of them well out of my price range. There was something for everyone there. I brought my 5 y/o son and he loved it.

We brought a few things, a 0.1 snow het stripe/motley from Kathy Love, some F/T pinkies from Americanrodent and a few odd and end things.

Overall, it was a nice show but I thought it would be a little bigger. There were a lot of people there but that was par for the course.

I would definatley recommend the show to someone and me and my son plan on going back next year.

Congrats on the new snake. :) I do have a question about the rodents you purchased... American Rodent will be vending at the show I'm going to in a couple of weeks, and I'm wondering at the quality of their mice. They are based here in Indianapolis, I believe, so would definitely be an easy source of food for my snake provided they aren't awful.

Sounds like you had fun! I can't wait until the 28th...

The frozen pinkies look decent. They are in a large baggie. They were the only frozen dealer at the show. I paid 20.00 for 50 pinkies. They are based in Indy so it prob would be a decent option for you thru mail order. However, they do have a 50.00 min thru mail order. I don't know if that poses a problem for you. But I guess you can also pick them up as well. :)

I will let you know how they are when I thaw one out tomorrow.

Awww, I must have left before I read your last message. I would have persuaded you! haha.
Did you go wind up going back again or not?
I knew I'd be 'bad' going back by myself. I came home with 2 more corns, a trinket rat, an anery kenyan sand boa, and a irian jaya carpet python! All babies.

Holy crap you were pretty bad. I decided to just stay here and sit on my wallet. which is fine, im pretty satisfied with what i've got anyways. What kind of corns did you pick up?

You have no idea how bad I have been. I have 60+ reptiles at home! In addition to the crimson I got from Kathy on Sat., I also got a zig zag Okeetee from her and a banded/milk phase type corn from someone else. (I'd have to look for his name at home, I'm at work now)

Hopefully will be posting some pics soon!
