***EDIT***

So, supposedly, I used up my monthly bandwidth on Photobucket; it has now disabled my account until next month. Thankfully, I only have three more days to wait. So I'm really sorry these aren't showing up. For the time being, here's a slideshow I put together on Youtube with some of the highlights from the show. Enjoy! (My new boa, Zalma, and my new gargoyle gecko, Piedra, are shown at the end of the video. )

Went to my first expo yesterday! :mrgreen: I had the time of my life. I normally hate shopping, but I could've stayed here all night. As it is, four hours was long enough to pick out my two new additions.

Highlights at the expo:

Beardiez. I saw my first translucent!

Monster pied

Not sure, but I'm thinking this is an Angolan python. Thoughts?

Wow awesome finds! I've gotta go to an expo soon! I keep hearing all these sweet things people do and find there.
Wow the gecko is SO CUTE! I've never seen one like that before! Its markings remind me of tree bark a little bit. Very pretty BCI too!

You really should! Even if you don't get anything, it's a lot of fun to browse, see all the NFS stuff the breeders bring to show off, and you can get to know some of the names in reptile breeding. And the prices are pretty awesome. The boa was marked for $150 but I got her for $50. :mrgreen:

Thanks! I was thinking about getting a crested gecko, but that's why I chose a gargoyle; they're so unique. Plus, they're super easy to care for. Temps in the 70's (that's room temp at my house), moderate humidity, and they can live off the pre-made crested gecko diet.
