Wasatch Reptile Expo

[ssssnakeluvr]

Nikki and I attended the first day of the reptile expo here in Salt Lake City. We worked the Utah Reptile Rescue booth (also S & M Reptiles, Jim and his girlfriend Jenn's sales booth, they breed some stuff and sell some rescued and rehabbed critters to help pay for feeding and caring for all the critters). Was a good day, Utah is finally catching up with the rest of the world.....was packed!!! I talked to the guy that runs the expo, Guy Verslius...he had to turn away about 10-15 vendors as there wasn't enough room. next year we may have to use the 2nd floor also! hopefully I will have enough snakes that actually breed so I can have my onwn booth!!! I did show a bunch of my garters...got a lot of people interested but couldn't sell any hypermelanistic wanderings....guess Utah isn't quite ready for high end garters... did sell 2 ribbons tho. here's a couple pics taken today...

no...we don't have a big enough tank for the brum...very nice snake...but no.....we did buy a cuban tree frog (was for sale as a feeder!!!! now a pet!), 2 rats for my other 2 girls (Claire and Kelly), Keith got a baby ball python, and Nikki got a prairie kingsnake, female, het for albino. I got 2 baby plains garters (to increase my gene pool) and a male prairie kingnake, het for albino. I sold 1 hypermelanisitic wandering and 3 ribbons. will be trading the remaining ribbons for an albino checkered this week!!! was a fun expo, lots more people than we expected. they had to turn down about 10-15 vendors as there wasn't enough room in the expo area. they will probably open the 2nd floor next year. I am hoping that I will have enough to get my own table!!!!
we took a few photos...then Nikki ran off....shot 110 pics!!!!! will be posting some tomorrow. we had some cool snakes here....including a $1,000,000 snake and one for $750,000.....the are gold finger ball pythons...only 3 in the world....real yellow..kinda hard to describe. will be posting a pic of them...he had that price instead of saying not for sale....just having fun! He did say that if someone offered to pay the million he would send the snake out the door!!!! I will be posting pics in the next few days or so.
