West Coast Captive Breeder's Expo - Portland, OR

[problemchildx]

So this isn't for a while, and I think there is a good chance I will be going! But I will have to refrain from buying any new spiders...

This is the link where I found the most info:

I'm not sure as to all the vendors though..
So.. who all will be going?

 

[vvx]

Doubtful I'll be going unless I hitchhike. Portland is a bit far for me. Would be nice to see a vendor list, doesn't seem to be one.. (yet?)

Yeah I know what you mean.. The only reason I have a chance of going is cause my mom and her friend were going down there to visit his dad or something, coincidentally it's the same time as the show.

Seems kinda sketchy without a vendor list though...

UPDATE: Found the official site finally with a vendor list. Looks promising

I think IHeartMantids and I are going. I have to decide soon, cause if we do I'll be shopping for a friend as well.

Carpool from Seattle??

Hi guys -
I am driving to Seattle from Spokane tomorrow. I'm wanting to see if anyone would like to carpool down from Seattle to Portland for the show on Saturday.

I'm thinking of leaving around 8am (to get there at 11am?) and head back around 5pm (to be back around 8pm?). I drive a Toyota Sequoia, so I will have plenty of room for people on the way down, and people with all their purchases on the way back!

If anyone is interested in splitting gas and making a day trip of it, send me a PM.

Any takers????
Krystan

 

[problemchildx]

That's very generous of you!

Although the time frames are a bit off for my party..
Anyway, do you guys wanna meet up or something? How will we know who is from AB?

The show is too soon!

 

[problemchildx]

SchecterManC1FR and I will be leaving Friday and staying in a motel. Those of you who wish to join us can carpool down there. Gotta pay for your own motel room though. See you guys there

 

[funnylori]

I'll be there for sure, opening time most likely. Look for red/orange hair, and a guy with a blond/brown mop and a big nose squeeling over baby scorpions and tarantulas.

I should wear something Buggy. Maybe antenne?

 

[Rain_Flower]

I'll be there tomorrow, and I'll be wearing a reeeeeaaaaally bright purple long sleeve shirt with a nazi looking guy and a tall mountain man looking guy. My boyfriend and my dad, lol. I wanna meet you guys! Feel free to come and say hello to me
I probably sound like a weirdo... oh well.

 

[Talkenlate04]

I am going to have to sit this one out, on the eve of the show I have some car issues I'll have to pay for so maybe next year. Hope you guys have fun!

ProblemchildX and I attended the show and were disappointed. In the entire show they had about 20 slings for sale and 10 or so display only. Wasn't worth the drive:wall:
Still had fun driving down there though.

 

[vvx]

So no good vendors? That sucks. I know nwinverts does that show sometimes.

 

[problemchildx]

Yeah it was sad to not see nw and tarantula ranch there like it said..
Thanks to MB who had they only spiders for sale there!

Some really cool reptiles though like the translucent bearded dragons.

 

[funnylori]

I got a cobalt and a P. cambridgi sling, I also got two new sp. of roach. There was about 15 species of roaches for sale at the show.

The beardies were awesome, so were the green pythons (the yellow ones were to die for!). I got a picture with the snake. I don't know where it went though...

 

[Rain_Flower]

Where on earth did you find the cambridgi? I could only find cobalts and chilobrachy sp.
I got the chilobrachy, a snow corn snake, a couple geckos and some roaches.
I was sad there weren't very many T's.
Anybody see the giant tortoise?... they wheeled it out on a big wood thing saturday morning. It was cool.

 

[funnylori]

The cambridgi was at the table with all of the roaches in big bins, kinda close to the big display area.

 

[Mr. Mordax]

One of those new roach species is HUGE, too. Blaberus fusca. Also picked up a baby orchid mantis. The scorpion selection disappointed me.

I'm not sure where that picture went, either . . . is it in the car?

I'll be there tomorrow, and I'll be wearing a reeeeeaaaaally bright purple long sleeve shirt with a nazi looking guy and a tall mountain man looking guy.

I think I saw you!! I was wearing a black long-sleeve shirt with a giant centipede on it.
