Reptile shows are awesome. There are so many amazing critters to see and cool people to talk to. I absolutely recommend going to one! Here are some upcoming Reptile & Amphibian Shows/Expos out here in California this year. This is a great way to find a new scaly friend for your family. We wont be selling at any of them but I'll be visiting quite a few so say hi if you see me!

The Early Bird gets...the Coolest Reptiles

We left home when it was still dark and got to see the sunrise one our way down to LA. We wanted to make sure we would get there early. And its a good thing we did because the line got HUGE fast. We waiting in line for over and hour and it started to get hot fast, everyone was getting tired of standing in the sun and then finally they let us through to the area where you buy tickets, and then....another line. Of course I was constantly posting pictures on Instagram and then finally we got to go inside!

Zero is the new number One

Picture
Picture

We went to visit Josh D , who as always is full of knowledge and a very nice guy, always willing to talk. To our happy surprise he was selling 2 dragons of the new morph called "Zero".  Danny fell in love and I knew we weren't leaving without one of them. We chose the male and he should be ready to breed in a few months. We are so excited to add this guy to our dragon family.

So Many Vendors...So Little Time

We cruised around the booths, Danny carrying his new Zero, was stealing all the attention away from any Bearded Dragon breeders' booths we walked past.  
Picture
Picture
Picture
I did get a new little girl to add to our group, though she wont be ready to breed for a few years as she is just a hatchling. She is a stunning red Classic Translucent, from the first stink-eye she gave me I knew she was meant for me.
Picture
Picture
We stopped at a few non-reptile booths too, like this guy that had crazy T-rex and other animal T-shirts. I got a new Lizard pin and a hat from Josh D's wife! And of course we renewed our membership to U.S.A.R.K if you don't know who they are go to their site, sign up and help reptile keepers around the USA have the right to breed and keep reptiles. www.USARK.org

I know this is last year's show but I had so much fun and loved meeting some of my followers so I had to bring this blog over from it's old home to this one.

Reptile Heaven Day 1

Picture

Picture

We arrived in San Diego and dropped our stuff off at the hotel and went right over to the Show. There was a huge line to get into the Reptile Super Show, but we got there early! We got our 2-day wrist bands and couldn't wait to get in, we got our swag bags and waited. We did not go to sell this year we did not want to travel that far with dragons and we just wanted to get to walk around, see what's new and make some new reptile purchases for future breeding projects. I love course had to stop at the reptile jewelry and get a new ring.

Meeting and Instagram Follower

Leah Michelle @lmhboo stopped me looking at the reptile jewelry and said "Oh my god its you!" It was crazy to have that happen I loved meeting her, and of course answering her questions on feeder bugs.

A New Dragon Morph

We did get to hang out with Josh D a bit, he's a really nice guy. If you don't know who that is, he is a very well known exotic bearded dragon breeder known well in the dragon breeding community. He had a new type of dragon morph at the show that sold for $3,500 that he created with a breeder out of the country. It is similar to a Wiblit, which is a new morph that not too much is known on, but Josh's morph he was tentatively calling a 'Zero' I called her gorgeous! It's a completely blank bearded dragon, no markings of any kind.
Picture
Picture

What We Got on Day 1

Rankins Dragons, we bought 2 females and an unrelated male. Rankins Dragons are like mini bearded dragons, they are full grown at about 10 inches and don't puff out a beard. Sadly when they were shipped to us at home we realized that the male has an arc in his spine, which indicated MBD, so he is being shipped back. We will continue to search for a Male Rankin so we can breed them in the future.
Picture
Picture
We got 2 unrelated female Bearded Dragons from Josh D. The cream colored one is a Dunner Leatherback Hypo and the red one is a Classic Translucent HetHypo. The red girl has a bit of a nip tail but she's adorable. We had them shipped to us as well.

Oh Heck No

Danny wanted a spider..... I wanted a shoe, and a can of raid....and a flame thrower.

Art is DEAD

This artist takes reptiles that have died from natural causes and molds their dead bodies and then makes jewelry, statues, you name it. Cool but freaky.

Walking the City

Picture
We didn't get to sight see in San Diego, we were so busy as this was a business trip for us, but I did get to take some pretty cool photos from the hotel room and walking to and from the Reptile Show. So enjoy some of my non-reptile photography from the second day before the show started. For those of you that didn't know I made a living as a professional photographer a few years back. Poor Danny has to wait around for me to take 100 pictures of something and find the best one to upload and share.

Reptile Heaven Day 2

Picture
Picture
Picture
Waiting for the show to open, and charging my iPhone with the iSound mobile charger so my phone doesn't die like yesterday....because if I couldn't share photos with my followers I would.....be so sad. Inside I had a brief love affair with a rescued Tegu and Danny fell in love with Uromastyxs. I had a feeling we were going to end up with one...or four of them.

S.C.A.R.

The Southern California Herpetology Association & Rescue, also known as S.C.A.R. takes in a rehabilitates mistreated reptiles. They were adopting out snakes, bearded dragons, geckos and more at the show. To raise funds for their work they had a raffle and a couch with a giant snake that you could get your photo taken with, or course we did it. Much love to anyone that fosters mistreated animals.

Another IG Follower!

This is Seth or @sethdls7 on Instagram. He wanted to come up to me and say hi because he follows me, but he was feeling shy. His mom walked up to Danny and asked him, "Is that Christy? From Instagram?" as I was looking at a booth. He laughed and said yes then she introduced me to to her son Seth, his older brother and her husband. We took a quick photo and they asked me all kinds of questions about incubation as their beardie had just laid fertile eggs for the first time. I can't express how much joy I feel when people let me into their lives and help them with their dragons!
Picture

What We Got on Day 2

Uromastyx! 3 females and 1 male in a variety of shades od teal, green and yellow.
Picture
Picture
Picture
Knob-Tail or Levis Geckos! We bought 2, and it is too soon to tell if they are male or female. So these guys will go unnamed for a long while. I love their HUGE eyes. We do want to breed these guys as a species eventually so this is a start.
Picture

Stay Classy San Diego

Picture
Picture
Playing with the Uros in the hotel. We had to ship them ovenight, and both sets of geckos to ourselves the next day because we took a plane to San Diego. We had a blast at the show, and freaking out room service with a reptile filled room.  Exhausted we shipped all the animals the next day and flew home. They all arrived safe and sound on Tuesday, we had a great trip.
