Who is going to the Arlington Narbc

I'm going! Even bringing a convert. ;) She's never been to a reptile show, but she's really excited about it. I'm hoping to get some axolotls at the show!!
 
What do those cool little guys eat by the way I have always liked them:)

Earthworms are apparently the best for them according to many. But they also eat bloodworms, blackworms and sinking trout pellets. I'm betting they won't complain about silks or butters from time to time either. They had a bunch last year at one table...they better have them again this year!

Yeah I saw them last year they were at the Texas Reptile Exchange booth last year Right?
 
That sounds right...I wasn't even considering them at that time so I wasn't paying much attention. Just saw tons of little ones in cups and gawked at them for a while for fun. They're so cute! :)
 
Cool We thought about bringing Ranger but He is a shy guy around people so we will prob. not be bringing him:(. but he is not shy around a camera:rolleyes:lol

That's a shame, he's so handsome!! My panther is going to a preschool next week to help me with a presentation. He did amazingly well with the high school summer camp - never acted stressed in the slightest and crawled over like 40 kids. He's an awesome cham! No touching at the preschool however... that could end badly...
 
You keep them in low oxygen water right?

Yeah they get stressed by too much water agitation so if you do use a filter/air pump it needs to be low power so it doesn't move the water too much. But if it's too low oxygen you'll see them go up to the top to breathe air, and that's sub-optimal. I'm getting a sponge filter for them. The biggest problem for keeping them in Texas is they need cool water (in the 60s and 70s). By the time it really heats up for the summer hopefully I'll be moving to a cooler state!

Yep. Been here my whole life and want to see something else, like these 'four seasons' that people keep telling me about. Something about it not being intolerably hot 75% of the year - madness! Hoping to move somewhere in Colorado come May, but we'll see. I know you'll miss me. ;)

I know thats sad:( Your Chams are going to miss that Texas Sun.
 
Hey guys. I was wondering if these reptile shows had good deals on supplies or would it be better (cheaper) to order online? I'm looking to get him real soon and still need some stuff.
 
hey Camron, i plan to check out lights and some feeder supplies while I'm there. Should be there about 1-1:30 if you want to meet up at TX ranger's table at some point.
They do have pretty good deals but check online first so you dont feel ripped off later;)

Made plans to take the lady out today. I was going to check it out on tomorrow but I wish I knew u were going I would have made arrangements.
 
We can meet up anytime you want to come by so no big deal. I'll let you know what I find there so you know if its worth the trip or not.
