the thickness of glass would only affect temps in an insulating sense, unless sunbeams could hit it.... then it would act like a solar oven, i think.
i will swap out the guys in glass cages if you want though. i think i have at least 50 containers of that size lying around =P

also, i was just guessing about the brainfried thing. i'm probably wrong. you know how that goes =P
I was thinking in a over insulating sence, and dead air as well. I think it would be on the safe side to remove them though, thanks a bunch.

wow i had a great time. i got a couple of pics. not sure how to post them though. the toad came out well. as well as the spider that was on the buried palm tree. lots of stuff was blurry as i need more than just the macro setting. that was a lot of fun. i am sorry i can't make to san diego. i really want to see T burrows in the wild.

warren (wburke) is a dad so we usually have one along =P

plus, hopefully your dad will be impressed with SCABIES and you can pick up a little more invert freedom when he sees how "serious" we take it.

i believe we will be cruising through the herp show but of our time the bulk, pulk, will be spent hunting.

happily i am tall and generally noisy so you will just have to look for the hairy guy giggling about bugs.... but a meeting point might be a good idea. anyone familiar with this place?

i'm hoping GQ. will teach the people that go and then we can pass on the info and eventually you will get to see your T burrow.

also, some of the other SCABIES live by tarantulas (so do i... i just can't *find* the dang things!!) so eventually we will find them. i'm just hopign it's not *too* long of an eventually

I might be able to go to the Sunday sandiego trip. Not sure yet, I'll find out tonight. Is there going to be some kind of carpool or would I have to meet y'all at SD?

I know physically where the Scottish Rite Center is, but I've never been inside so no help with a meeting place. I am however intending to be there at opening Saturday morning. Has everyone got a discount coupon yet? If not go print one here http://www.reptilesupershow.com/coupon.html. I will only have a couple hours to hike, but have my own transportation, so not a problem. Where is the hike going? It is very warm inland it has been in the low 90s, but it is supposed to be partly cloudy and a little cooler this weekend. If you get out into the desert it is into the mid 90s at least.

yeah, meet at my house. i believe ronin has a SUV (though i thought he drove a car when we went to Azusa Canyons). if worst comes to worst i can drive too.

I now know that the show is in the Corinthian room. Which is the ballroom but I still don't know the layout or anything else about the place. Maybe we should meet at the entrance to the ballroom. I'm sure that the show isn't going to be huge since according to the website for the Scottish Rite Center the room holds 63 booths for tradeshows. Whaddya think?

if we're meeting/leaving at the very beginning, should we not pay to get in until we come back/Sunday/ever? (assuming they don't have a re-entry option)

ok, here is the tentative timing for SATURDAY, June 30th, San Diego Adventure:

7:30am Meet at Andrew's House

8:00am Meet at Warren's House, arrange car(s), head out to San Diego

9-9:30am show up at Scottish Rite Center. do a little shopping.

~11am HUNT!!!!!!!!!!


edit:

also, i will try to wear one of my bug shirts to make it easier to spot me. also, check out nbond's group pics... i believe i am the hairiest dude in the pics. heh. and i will be wearing a black hoody. well, if i wear my bug hunting hoody then it is more of this sort of reddish-brown color now... but you can kinda tell it was born black and has faded with time, sun, and sweat =P hehehehe

edit*2:
warren, like the change to my sig?
