West Coast Captive Breeder's Expo - Portland, OR

[problemchildx]

Yeah I think I saw one scorpion.. They had some really good display spiders too! Sad to see little kids walk by tapping on the glass though... :wall:

 

[Mr. Mordax]

Yeah I think I saw one scorpion.

I saw what looked like some kind of Hadrurus sp. on display (NFS), two emperors (for $25 each! :wall, and someone else's Heterometrus had babies and they were selling those.

Sigh . . . better luck next expo . . .

 

[Rain_Flower]

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

Awh you should have said hi to me!

 

[mbreptiles]

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.

We had the cambridgi, I still have a couple left if you are looking. I think we brought about 15 different species of roaches and 20 different species of arachnids.

 

[Mr. Mordax]

Those B. fusca you sold me are doing great!

 

[problemchildx]

I'm just glad you brought spiders Matt, otherwise I would have been very very disappointed with the show. Tarantulas being the only motivation for me to journey for just a show.. I'll admit reptiles are pretty cool. But, it's not my bag and they seem extra expensive.. I'll have quite a few in the future though...

especially those beardies! We spent a while checkin them out

Glad to hear it! They are pretty prolific for us...

Next show we will have a better T selection. We only had about 15 different species.

I am waiting to hear back from Joel about the show. I have not made up my mind, however I probably will be vending if everything works out. I do wish it was a 2 day show though.

 

[SuperRad]

Omg!



Why didn't I hear about this sooner?!?!?!?!? Thanks for the info, I'm already there. Even if the vendors aren't that great, I'm sure it'll give me slightly more selection than the places round Seattle I've been going on wild goose chases to.

So are we going to try to set up some kinda pre funk/pub crawl before the expo or what? Could be rad...

 

[mbreptiles]

Bummer...

I spoke to Joel about the metro reptile show, and it looks as though we will not be attending. They do not have any open spots at the show. He said that he would keep me posted if anyone backs out of the show, but as it looks we will not be vending.

 

[Snipes]

I think i might be going with the friend i brought the other time

 

[Mr. Mordax]

Are we talking about the Portland Metro Reptile Expo?

I'll try to remember to wear my shirt with the giant green mantis on the front and I have shaggy blonde hair. Say hi to the crazy guy! If anyone addresses me as "Mantids" I'll probably answer.

 

[mbreptiles]

We are talking about the portland metro reptile show which I believe is actually in Wilsonville.

 

[funnylori]

Yes, it appears that somewhere in the middle of this thread, the topic changed from a previous show, to a future one. I for one, plan on being at the future one!

yeah, that would be my fault. Sorry for the confusion guys. :8o

I'm planning on going to the show.

 

[mbreptiles]

I am going to harrass Joel for atleast one table so we can atleast bring t's, some reptiles, and roaches. Probably won't be bringing supplies because I don't think he has enough room for us to do 6 tables or so.

 

[Parahybana3590]

I am hopefully going (the one on the 26th right) with my friend for his birthday.If I go, I will be bringing a 9-10 inch California King Snake (F) with me if anyone is interested in doing a trade or something.

 

[Loaf]

when is the next one, is it at the expo center again?
