We'll be there Tim. We had a great time at the first one, too.
Hope it will be even more successful this year.

Thumbs up TV Spots...updates...

I had another TV Station call me today and set-up an interview for their Morning program called "Firstcast" which talks about weekend events! This makes 5 TV spots scheduled! The American Satesman paper ran its first ad today and another tomorrow. The marquis Billboard in Downtown Austin will be posting the Expo tomorrow and Saturday. The website generating the most hits for the Expo is a TV & Radio Station in San Antonio. I expect at least a thousand people this year.

Looking forward to a busy weekend.

My first reptile show

I'm a lurker here, but am learning a lot from you experts!

I was there on Saturday, and it was packed! Took the hubby and the kids, and picked up a cute little female leopard gecko for my son. They were enthralled with the multi-hued snakes, and loved that they were able to take a picture while holding the beautiful albino burmese python. Even the hubby, who isn't so much into the "pets" thing, really loved the diversity of colorations everyone was displaying. I picked up a great all-purpose used care book to go with the gecko (who is named Sadie, btw) and some fine literature from various tables. I was able to point out the venomous snakes my kids are most likely to see in the greenbelt behind the house. The informational tables were great, talked quite a bit with the gentleman from the Texas Horned Lizard Conservation Society (is that right??).

All in all, a very fun time for the family, and something that was inside in the AC!

Thanks so much for the experience. Oh, and I was told by multiple vendors that Tim Cole is the man to know in this part of Texas if I really wanted to get into reptiles!

Tim is the man for that area. He knows his stuff inside and out.

Glad to hear you had a good time.

Talking Better than I had hoped!

We had around 1500 people attend the show this weekend!
What even surprised me more were the number of families that attended. I have been to a lot of shows and I have never seen this many families present. Must have been the AC!

Some of the vendors commented on the number of persons that bought their first snake or lizard at the show. The educational displays were well received by the public and even appreciated.

It did get a little crazy when Keith with Chameleon Counters had his Death Head Cockroach eating contest! Which was one by Fauna's own Greg Holland!
We will do it again next year.
