Repticon is sure getting bigger and better every day. The show was great, the customers were great, and the overall atmosphere was great!

The black throat monitors that we had for sale sold out by Saturday afternoon. We attribute that mostly to our stunning star- the one, the only, Bosco :) How can anyone resist the thought of owning a “terrifying lizard” that likes to be held like a baby?

One of the things we had out for sale that kept amazing customers were our Rough Green Snakes (aka green grass snakes). You may be asking, “What is so amazing about these snakes?” Aside from being gorgeous, the answer is simple: they eat crickets rather than mice and never bite! 

We also had tons of “Oohs” and “Aahs” over our salamanders and desert iguanas.

All we have to say is if you didn’t come out, you need to come out to the next one! These shows are simply awing and definitely something worth taking the time to see.

Just in time to prepare for this weekend’s Repticon show in Orlando, FL. The show will be held at the Central FL Fairgrounds and has doubled in size this year. Instead of being one hall, there will now be two halls reserved just for us reptile/amphibian enthusiasts. There will be many new things going on, including the first venomous display and the famous Venom 1 team from Homestead, FL will be there.

The week before the show is always a hectic one. Besides having to do the everyday chores associated with keeping thousands of reptiles, we have to choose the best of the best to take the shows, pack animals the day before driving, and then of course, we have the scary drive to the venue. It’s always stressful when you know you’re transporting so many live animals.

However, the show itself is always awesome! We love meeting our customers, old and new. We love being able to talk to people face-to-face, educating them on their new or future pets, and seeing the smile on a child’s face who just got their first pet!

So come on out and help make the craziness of preparation worth it! Come meet Bosco, take your picture with him, love him….the point is, come out!!! You will definitely enjoy yourself :)
