The Show’s Over Folks!

Another show weekend has come and gone! 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.

Big Weekend Ahead!

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!

Tampa Reptile Mania

Hey guys! It’s been some time now since we updated the blog but that’s because we had to get ready for the awesome Tampa Reptile Mania show that is promoted by Gila Productions! It was this past weekend (March 7th-8th) at the Florida State Fairgrounds and it was quite the success! We met so many new people and had many visits from old customers

We brought a variety of animals this time, even some that you rarely see such as CB baby Fly River turtles and CB baby Mata Matas which were quite a hit. We also expanded further into frogs this time: Dumpy Tree Frogs, Malayan Horned frogs, Fire Belly Toads, and Budgetts Frogs. We sold a trio of Argentine Black and White tegus that were to die for! The customer who got those is a very lucky man

Samantha did a seminar on Bosco, the Black-Throat Monitor. As you can imagine, many people attended and were able to take pictures with him and pet him. He sure gets all the attention.

We hope that all those who attended had as great of a time as we did. We can’t wait until the next one!
