I am planning on having a table at this show. Enjoyed it 2 years ago and am looking forward to doing it again.

I expect to have the following captive bred and born snakes:

06' White-lipped Vipers

06' Mottled Rock Rattlesnakes (various locales)

06' 100% het for albino Western Diamondbacks

05' Patternless and 100% het Western Diamondbacks

1.1 Adult Albino Monacle Cobras

and possibly more.

You forgot to mention that you are also offering the Albino male and hypo? female that produced the 100% het albinos.

i remember your booth..you were in the lower level right? cool stuff!

I had the deli displays and table lamps.

Well now we are down to just 4 days until the show. Tables for the show are sold out, and the show is set to be a success again. All we need now is for everyone in Wisconsin, Illinois, Minnesota, hell the Midwest to come out and see how Wisconsin does a show. If you have never been to the show, just a note, the venue is a Country Club. This means air conditioning, but not too cold for the herps, as well as bathrooms, an ATM, and a bar. Sundays forcast looks like hot and humid, so rather than sweating out the day, come join us in comfort and who knows you just might find the right snake, gecko, turtle, or even rattler. I will see you all on Sunday.

Let's hear from vendors and customers.

As always it was a very nice show. I didn't sell much but I knew that going in. My babies weren't old enough to sell and the people who go to these shows are not looking for breeders. They want babies. Still, I had a very good time. I spent more than I made but only because I bought 2 D. azureus from another vendor as we were all packing up. 100.00 for 2 frogs that were well over an inch long. I couldn't believe they didn't sell for the $150.00 he had them listed for. I usually do this show to get my name outh there to people from a bit further off. The show is about 30 minutes from my store and draws a decent amount of people from Milwaukee who might not otherwise know I am around. Also, I usually get 2 or 3 sales in the store in the next few weeks that I can attribute directly to being at the show so my totals usually end up being better than they are at the end of the night. There was a decent mix of animals although I tend to think its a little heavy on the beardeds, ball, leos, and cresteds. Those 4 animals probably made up 75% of the animals there, maybe even more. It really is too bad about the new Wisconsin law. Needing the vet certificate has caused a marked decrease in the number of vendors, thus a decrease in the variety. Two years ago it was an upstairs and downstairs show.

All in all it was a good time. I have only spoken with one other vendor and he was happy with his sales. Although nothing was mentioned to me apparently they are thinking about another show in a couple of months. I will probably be at that one also, and by then my babies will be ready to go so I should do much better.

kudos to Shane and Eric for another fine job

most of my babies will be available this month. Lots of foot traffic and most were carrying their purchases. Kudos to Eric and Shane for running a good show.
I would like to see more efforts to notify the Venomous Community.
