    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.....

    =====================


    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....

Shanell, It was absolutely a pleasure. Thank You!
 
No problem! Any time! We will be vending at the december IRBA so if anyone goes come stop by and say hi! Well off to get my kids to school, take care all! Shanell.
 
The show was good, it was a lot of fun this year. Thanks for another great year!
 
I was at there show in Philly once but now they stopped having it there?? any one know why????
 
I believe there were conflicts on getting a convention room at the date they wanted the show to be held. I think the Philly herp group had their own show this year.
 
Yes they did and i was there but it was not near as nice as the NARBC one. Quite a shame.
 
Thank You! Thank You! Thank You!

Bob and I are very appreciative of all of the nice comments on the show! Thanks to all of you who attended.......we dont have a show without vendors. Promoters dont make a show........VENDORS DO!!! The California herp community has been super supportive to us and we think this show has potential to be much larger!!! Thanks to Russ Gurley who worked his ass off on the Turtle Talks for us!!! For those of you coming to the Tinley Park show.......see you in a week!!!!!! We will be back next year for those who wont make Tinley Park next week or Dallas in February so see you then!!!



*****SUPPORT PROMOTERS WHO SUPPORT YOU.......AND LET THE OTHERS FADE AWAY*****

I was there and picked up a couple beauties but I reserved myself to wait until the next day in order to go back and acquiesce that second beauty. I was amazed at such a nice show compared to others I have been to over the years. I'm glad I cancelled that other event I had planned and attended this one. Job done well by N.A.R.B.C. and all involved.

i would like to say if you missed the auction this year you missed a good time and it was for a good cause. they had a lot of great stuff and some not so great stuff but the auctioneer got good money for that not so good stuff. over all it was a every fun auction. i did walk away with ball python breeding dvd and a female ball python. great show and getting better each year.

I haven't attended a NARBC show, but I know Brian and Bob very well, and they are both class guys and without a doubt, put on a great show with the worlds' top-notch vendors/breeders!

These guys are 1 in a million!!!!!

We have been doing the Chicago NARBC for the last 5 years now and this show is one we really look forward to! They do a great job and the show is always top notched.
If these guys have many vendors like me I feel VERY sorry for them!!! I lost my registration form this year and Brian stepped way above and beyond his call of duty and got me all registered through emails. He also answered MANY dumb questions I emailed him without letting me sense the frustration he had to me.
Keep up the good work guys and I promise I won't make you go through that again next year!
See you tonight at set up! Lets have a great show! YEAH!

Tinley was Great AGAIN! I spent at least 5 hours there on Saturday and another 4 hours on Sunday. The roommate and I brought home lots more mouths to feed plus some great supplies and tools. I got to chat with some great people, Robbie Hamper being one of the most outstanding, sweetest people in the world! and so many other wonderful breeders.
I've got to start saving my money for next year!
 
Another year and another very busy and very impressive Tinley Park show. I believe the crowd was larger than last year and there certainly was no shortage of amazing animals at the venue. It was also nice to meet more fauna members I had not previously met. Heck, John Schmitt flew all the way up from Florida just to check it out.
 
Dang Sheri!!
I can't make it! arrrg!!

But I'll be at the Arlington, Tx show in February!!

Everyone come and support the NARBC show, WHEREVER it's being held. It's a GREAT show!
