    I figure I should start this thread now to give ya'll time to come! The Daytona Breeders Expo is the biggest reptile show in the US. Its like top 5 in the world, I belive. We've got our hotel reservations. The first day of the show is the 18th. Alot of people come up earlier, to met up with the other reptile people and party often. This year theres going to be a boa symposium along turtle and tortise lectures, the annual reptile art show. And the tons of vendors. The syposiums are on the 17th, Friday night. The show runs the 18th, and 19th. Even if its a far drive, its deffinatly worth it. The doors open at 10am and close at 5pm, and the auction starts at 7 at the hotel across the street from the show, the Hilton.
    Heres the site for the show if you need more info. http://www.reptilebreedersexpo.com/index.html

    So, who all is coming? CheriS and myself will be there. And I know a few people from out of state and in Canada who come every year. Alot of people make plans to get together, go have dinner or hang out at the hotel. Theres always stuff to do, considering theres all the bars and resturants, the hotel on the beach, and the Boardwalk all withing 5 mins of eachother.
    Is anybody going looking for any reps or items? I will be searching for a good female to go with my male bloodred het. hypo lavender corn snake. I'm hoping to find another bloodred het. hypo lav. like him. Or a lavender, or a bloodred lavender. And maybe if i can find a super gorgeous snow or blizzard female to let my snow male have another lady. And I'm hoping to find some people who are intrested in one of my snow babies when they hatch and are ready to go( I prolly shouldnt be saying it considering they arent even laid yet...doh!). I'd like for them to have homes in Florida, that way if anyhitng happens they can comeback to me. But if they dont, oh well.

    So, I'm so excited for this show! Like every year.

    I'll be there. Wanted to go last year but things happened that kept me from doing so. I live in Jacksonville so it's only an hour ish for me. I'm taking the GF and kids.

    Are the Rosy Boas CB07 going to be ready by then? I would like to get a couple of those.

    MY list all CB07

    Rosy Boa
    Gray Banded Kings
    Mexican Black King (All Black)
    Eastern King (Black and white)
    Florida King
    Honduran Milksnake
    Arizona Mountain King
    Chihuahua Mountain Kingsnake
    Corn snake
    I'd like a Mole King but not sure if I can find one

    I'm looking for the above average snake so I'll be happy if I walk out with 1/2 my list. I'm to damn picky to walk out with just any snake.

    And maybe pick up something that I see that I must have

    Any HOT snakes there? Never been.

    There is a hot show every year. Its 18+. I'm not sure if its gonna be there this year. If so it will be on the top floor of the show building. And theres a ton of snakes there. I've seen some of the rarest gorgeousest snakes. The breeders expo is pretty much the place where breeders who have been working and developing new morphs and line to show off. Theres gonna be new stuff and rare herps. And its gonna be amazing. I'm so excited. Hopeing to find some pl in florida who would be looking for a cornsnake. I have 18 eggs in the incubator right now! If you want one, I def got ya if you wanted a snow. Id love for them to go to homes in florida.

    If any of ya see me walking around anywhere come up and say hi. I love meeting people on the site. Cheri does to I belive. With how much time everyone puts into it its great to finally see some fces and talk face to face with the ppl you interct with daily. lol. One year I suggested we wear nametags that said reptilerooms.com and our nicks. If yall cared We could organize a get together in the hotel after the show one day.

    So excited. Only 8 more weeks guys!

    Man, I really want to go. I live in Longwood so it's not that far. I'm almost broke though, with the 10$ admission I'll have roughly 10 bucks to spend. :roll:
