My First Reptile Show!

[Miss Lily]

Yesterday, I went to my very first reptile show, where I got my first Crested Gecko! I also saw baby Panthers and a Fishers cham too! By far the best thing I saw was a pair of adult Melleri!! OMG! They were stunning! Until yesterday I have only ever seen Veileds, Pygmies and a tiny baby Jackson, so I had a brilliant day!

And the crested you got is a beauty too!

Were you tempted by the Meller's?

 

[Miss Lily]

Most definitely! If I had the room and the money I would have bought them! They were so big and lovely! The stallholder was trying to persuade me and Anita (Chameleon Lady) to buy one each. Sadly, I just don't have a spare £450 (or £740 for both) or the room to house them. It was soooo hard to walk away. They did get sold though! There was also a 'breeding pair' of Veiled, but they were housed together and I've never seen such a small adult male. Something wasn't quite right there and I don't think they sold them.

Thanks, my Crestie is beautiful - I love him already!

Your crestie is gorgeous, I love seeing the pics you post so keep the coming. I am glad you enjoyed the show you went to, there fun! I also went to my first one in Orlando FL this past Saturday. It was a very lovely experience and we came home with a Savannah Monitor. It was fun and quite an experience will be going to the local one when it comes in May for sure.

I just went to my first Reptile Show too. I came home with 5 Posion Dart Frogs. This will be a new experiance for me. I am hooked on reptile shows now. I love them. So many neat animals.
