    Yeah, I know. They are a pain in the butt. But they pay the bills to keep my server running. Just a fact of life, I am afraid.

    Want to get rid of them? Simple. Just become a Contributor level member or above and they will be gone. -> Please click HERE."

    Is that too much for me to ask of you to keep this site running? Well, sorry about that. I too wish I could get everything for free. But alas.....

    Addendum: 01/10/2026
    =====================


    Google Adsense ad revenue for December, 2025 was just $30 over the cost of the lease for the server running this site. So, in effect, the money providing the incentive for me to continue running this site is coming SOLELY from the paid memberships and sponsorships here. Which honestly ain't much....

I'm hungover from interaction with people. :crazy03:

Mike Shaffer reptiles... And as you can see he got real creative with the lawn care name as well. I can not believe you would not let me have that last mouse. It was all alone and calling out my name... You big meanie.

Great shots Kristy! Thanks for posting! I'm glad that Mark was not showing himself pantless! Thanks for hiding behind the tanks Mark!:ack2:

Why didn't you turn the camera on yourself?

What can I say! Creativity is just natural for me I guess!:yesnod:

I have another mouse waiting and you have no choice but to take it at the next show! I'm sure that everyone knows how much you really want one now!:thumbsup:
 
I try to avoid the camera as much as possible :)

I did not get a whole lot of pic for the second room but I tried. I think I might have been too busy socializing. And answering the question.... No they are not poisonous. I am so making a sign for the next show.


I am going to name my new mousy Mike Shaffer mouse. It has a nice ring to it dont you think?
 
Ben and I just wanted to thank all the vendors and attendees who came out and supported the Steel City Reptile Expo. The total Customers through the door was 1,474. It was a huge success and we thank everyone for there help at making this a great show. The 2010 dates are posted on our site at www.steelcityreptileexpo.com and the next show is scheduled for Jan. 30th 2010 we hope to see everyone out at the next show for we are sure it will be even bigger than the first show. Pictures will be posted soon of the Sept 12th show and also of the lucky little girl who won the albino ball python. Thanks again to all of you who helped this show turn out to be such a great success.

Sincerely
Paul Wyble
Ben Corcetti

I think we should put Mark in a tank, and raffle him off to some lucky young lady, Paul could get another 500 -1000 peeps for the show! Shake that money maker Vitelli! Good show! Paul and Ben, awesome Job!
