I must be going to the wrong reptile shows. All the ones I've seen are horrid!

 

[DanSB]

Congratulations on your first show.

Looks like good fun, the booth looks great and your chams are very nice!

a few and some cages, not a ton, but have also sold several since to folks that were there and either spent all of their money already or just weren’t ready yet. as i had signed up just a week before, my name didn’t make the kingsnake.com vendor list (although it was on the Repticon site), so a lot of folks were really surprised to see someone there with a mess of panthers and carpets. defineitely made some future connections and started getting my face out there though. ya gotta start somewhere!!

I'm not a vendor but to me the most important part of a show would be making a good show, making connections, and making friends. I imagine it won't be long before you're not able to breed fast enough to meet sales just because you're Dr. O!

If someone asked me where to get a beautiful healthy panther your name would be the first that comes to my mind. No offense to any other vendor but being a vet you have a distinct advantage. (Fair or not!)

thank you dan, those are very kind words! and absolutely correct, just networking and meeting forum folk was a blast. eventually i will turn the looks of surprise at a bunch of panther chams for sale into looks of expectation!

my kingdom for a real website….but my developers take March off entirely for vacation. be patient with me, please! it will be worth it!
