White Plains Reptile Expo - Sunday, February 12

[Lathis]

My first expo in the new city! And I just did a search to make sure I could get there on Metro North and not get stranded, lol.

Anyone else planning on going? If so, we should plan a time and place for a meet-and-greet! I'm hoping to pick up some feeder insects and have a good time in general.

Bucky should be in NYC by then, but unfortunately, he has declined to attend the expo in person. He sends his regards

Is that supposed to be Boston? Being a total westerner it's hard for me to tell.

It was kind of an effort but you can't really type it out. Anything with an R is an A. Trust me I can't stand hear myself talk

Chameleon Forum NYC Reunion 2017 in the food court at 1:00pm! I'll have to bring/wear something identifiable
See you (all) there!

I wish I could go to this expo! I'm from PA, but NYC is still about an 8-10 hour drive for me. And of all days, it's being held on my anniversary! Hmm. Anniversary road trip? I wonder if he would go for it.....

 

[Lathis]

Hey! Anyone at White Plains Expo today?

I'm short, blond, in a gray jacket and ponytail, carrying a beige canvas bag with the word "chameleon" on it!

I'll be wandering about - tons of animals here! Impulse purchases will be hard to avoid...

Did you buy me something?

 

[Lathis]

No worries. The weather was just terrible - I almost didn't go. I spent way too much on bugs and saw some great reptiles.

 

[Lathis]

I almost brought one of these little cuties home with me... Luckily my empty cages are 1200 miles away

There was also a crocodile skink at one booth and several with abronias. Lots of temptation!

 

[savage13]

I was very disappointed with the vendor selling those adults Oustalets and veils in a tiny small tank which they couldn't even turn around .. But those male O'shaughnessy was nice was very tempted to pull the trigger on one especially the big male with the 2 blue spots on his crest.. I also got a good deal on adult Dubai and Arcadia bulbs.. Will April 23 will be the next one hope we can meet.. By the way how's Becky doing?

I generally am not happy with the packaging of any animals at reptile shows. What vendor really NEEDS a hundred different crested geckos or snakes on display at their booth? Fewer animals displayed really nicely would be a better sell in my opinion (but I don't know how many animals get turned over at a show by any one vendor).

The ousties I did feel especially bad for. Those displays were way too small.

Bucky is doing much better. He took the move very badly (understandably - he was on the road for three days). He eating well now and starting to brighten up. He misses his big window - the view our of the apartment is not meant as nice. Hopefully our permanent home we'll have the perfect place for him.
