Hey! I was wondering if anyone on the forum was going to this? I'm going today but it extends until tomorrow!

I was going today but today is wild splash one of the best concerts of the year, and there is another show next month just across the bridge look for some infor online there is an awesome map! i forget the venue but they moved it to "expand"....I think its the repticon show


so I may go to the show tommorow but who really knows this weather is crazy
 
I went this morning-here is the run down. Mike (FL Chams) has hands down the cleanest exhibit and nicest, healthiest animals. He had a nice collection with him and was doing well. First Choice had a nice selection, and most of the other chams there were just plain scary. Here is what I did see....
Way too many week old Veileds for sale.
A pair of Veileds in a very small cage, female very gravid and attacking the male.
A pair of Oustalets in a small aquarium-mating.
Actually-there were lots of Oustalets-every other show there have been none. My CH male looks nothing like the WC's. They all looked dehydrated.
One of the people selling actually started asking ME questions about his chameleons.
There were 2 HUGE Mellers-very cool chams-not badly priced-but if I don't know the people I am not going to buy from them.
And-the most disturbing thing that I saw-a woman walking around with a large male Veiled clinging to her shirt. Geez.
I walked away with 500 pinheads for my eggs that are going to hatch soon!
Of course the person that OWES me a chameleon did not show up.
 
Lol. Mike's chameleons were the best ones there. There was a lot of young veileds. They had Jacksons with Veileds, selling the Jackson as a Veiled. I saw the gravid female. Mellers I was tempted to buy, I wanted to get them soo bad. I also wanted to buy the Ambilobe X Nosy Be that Mike had for $300! Good price, very blue! Also was tempted to buy Standard Fischers he had! Pretty good show, too many bad Chams like ya siad Julirs.

Heres what I got

Cricket Duster
Calcium w/o D3
Minerall I
1.3 Bearded Pygmy
100 1/3 Grown Crickets for Pygmys
500 Adult Crickets for all my lizards
500 Superworms for all my lizards
