Georgia Reptile Expo November 11-12, 2006

Hope to see everybody at the show today.

Just got home from the show. It was pretty good, had a decent selection and nice looking, clean animals. I picked up a hook, a ball python and some magazines. Link below for a few pics I took.

And one of the magazines

I really enjoyed the show today , almost as much as boys did. I really appreciate seeing the vendors using hand sanitizer for folks wanting to hold critters and big THANK YOU to the vendors who let my boys inspect , irritate and handle their animals even tho we weren't buying anything. My boys had a blast and were psyched that the vendors talked to them and answered their questions. For their first herp show the GA Herp Society gave them a great one.

AWESOME JOB GUYS !!!!!

P.S. Kris , don't forget that sweet deal on the boa cages .

I got stuck working most of both days, but really enjoyed what time I did get to spend at the show. There were some nice animals there and I ended up picking up some snakes and roaches.

Great time! Can't wait for next year!!!

It was a great small show. I agree with the vendors having the sanitizer on almost every table, it's such a cheap bit of insurance to help stop the transfer of stuff from one table to the next.

Bryon, the cages had completely slipped my mind when I made the original post. I am building a stand for them now and will post some pics in the Cage forum when I get them done.

The 2006 Georgia Reptile Expo is now over and it was a big success. This was the first year since 1998 that the Georgia Herpetological Society presented a show. A big thank you to our vendors, volunteers, speakers and staff. Without you, the event would not have been great!

Because of the show’s success, we will be able to begin to fund the Georgia Reptile and Amphibian Conservation Fund. For more details about the fund, please check out our website at www.georgiaherpetologicalsociety.org

We had over 2200 happy participants through the door, making this a great start towards next years show.! Thanks for coming out and attending our show.

Every vendor who came out for the show did well and we received a lot of positive feedback to help build for next year.

A personal thanks to Cathy and Danny Elrod of the Repticon Shows team. It was a great pleasure to meet another show team that is professional and ethical. I look forward to helping you guys out at your Atlanta show in January.

The show committee is planning the 2007 Georgia Reptile Expo. Mark your calendars for next November, details will be available in January 2007.

Other than the god awefull traffic, it was a great trip all around.

We look forward to seeing you all in January!
