    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....

OK, Floridians...who's going to the show this weekend?
Or, on the flip side, who's going from out of state? Vendors not included--I already know the vendor list!
I was wanting to go both days, but family obligations are dictating that I can only go on Sunday...will I be able to meet any of you guys/gals there? :D
 
Anyone go today.How was the turn out. I will be there tomorrow to see friends and to see what I've not seen before.That will be not much as I've been around a long time.Take care,R.R.
 
I made it there today

All in all it was pretty decent. I got to talk to a few vendors that I've bought snakes from previously (Chris Ahrens, Mike Cole, Virginia from The Reptile Shack); that's always a plus. And of course, I looked around for about 2 hours before it just got too hot to stay.
I also met a new friend--Ron, it was very nice chatting with you! :)
And I finally got my sulcatta--yay for me!
Of course there is always something I want and can't afford, but it was worth the price of admission to get to look at all the pretty snakes, talk to people and make new friends. :thumbsup:
I CAN'T WAIT FOR DAYTONA!​
 
i thought it was way better than the last tampa show. there were some really cool snakes running around. rhino rat, white lips, and some ball morphs. i picked up some millipedes but thats all. im saving for daytona!!
 
I went on Sunday. I picked up a really great female Red Blood from Mike Cole at Ballroom.

I also picked up a reverse trio of sun beam snakes. They are in pretty rough condition but they will see the vet soon and I will post pics.
 
Kelly,
I started to get one of them from Mike, but I'm still a little leery of the temperament. I've read that they've come a long way from the early days of import, but I guess I need some personal references first...
Wish I'd known you & Lucas were going to be there, I like to meet new people & put faces to the names on here!
 
I was there yesterday. Not bad for a Repticon show - they seem to be getting better this year.

I had no intention of buying anything - trying to save my money for Daytona. BUT found this cute '08 female Thayeri with an awesome stripe on the neck - haven't seen anything quite like it before - so of course, she came home with me!
