Another show weekend is here. We will be at the Orlando Repticon show this weekend and we have a suprise for our customers. We will finally be bringing some Black Throat monitors for sale! They are 3 juveniles, ranging from approx. 16″ to 2 feet. They are all handleable and are eating frozen/thawed mice.

We will also be bringing a variety of turtles and tortoises, salamanders, newts, axolotls, frogs, desert iguanas and some other lizards.

So come out and see Bosco our 5 foot Black Throat and maybe pick one of your own up!

What a show!

Well, we just got home from the Orlando Repticon show and it was incredible! Twice the size, twice the vendors, and 100x the fun! We met tons of new customers and got reaquiainted with old ones. As usual, Bosco (the black throat monitor) attracted the masses. Once at our table, customers got an eyeful of a very rare sight- 3 full-grown Radiated (radiata) tortoises! We also had some sub-adult radiatas, a breeding pair of 30 year old Sulcattas (African Spur Thighs), a breeding pair of 10 year old Sulcattas, an Indian Star tortoise, Albino Chinese Softshells, an Aldabra, lots of hypo and pastel color morphs, toads, frogs, salamanders, newts, lizards, geckos, and many other turtles and tortoises.

To put it mildly, it was awesome! Stay tuned for pics, we should have them up as soon as we get done unpacking from the show
