Just got back from our closest reptile show in White Plains. Manalive, were there some gorgeous reptiles on display - from fringey axolotls to gem-toned leopard geckos, and plenty of lovely beardies, too. Witblits were apparently the dragon of the moment - most people had at least two on display - but there were a wonderful array of citrus and orange and red tones as well. Daichu Dragons was there, with some babies that almost made me regret getting Figment two weeks ago, and unfortunately a lot of dealers who had tanks stuffed full of hatchlings that could have come out of a Petco or Petsmart; these were sometimes almost an afterthought, as the dealers clearly focused on other reptiles primarily.
I was hoping to get some better cage decor for Figment; I was torn between getting a hide sized for an adult beardie, which he could grow into, and getting another climbing perch. I wound up getting neither, as I couldn't find anything that was "just right." So I picked up 50 dubias and 12 hornworms instead, to see if he'd like them (since he definitely doesn't like Phoenix Worms), and a lovely sticker of a beardie pretending to be the Pokemon Charizard. It came from Emily Burke Artwork, and I highly recommend people checking out her website at http://emilyburkeartwork.storenvy.com/ - lovely drawings and more for reptile lovers!
Just got home, fed Figment five of the hornworms (they were small, between 2" and 3") and popped the dubias into a spare cricket keeper with a slice of apple to keep them happy. All in all, it was a good day.
