Collin and I went to the Reptile Expo at the Fairgrounds today. It was so cool! I have never seen so many reptiles (or creepy people) in one place at one time!! hahahaWe saw all different types of snakes, some I hadn't even heard of before. That made me want to get a snake again. I had a 7 foot Carpet Python when I met McClain. There just wasn't room for her in our new apartment. They had teeny, tiny snakes as thin as shoe laces and huge pythons and boas, too.
My favorite, of course, were the frogs! We got so excited when we saw all the frogs and toads. My favorite are the poison dart frogs. They had some as small as your pinky nail that they call 'Thumbnails' because that is only how big they get! So cute!
They had turtles/tortoises, geckos, dragons, spiders...pretty much everything you can imagine! There were hedgehogs and ferrets too. We got a bunch of free stuff and super cheap things too! If you haven't been and you are a reptile/amphibian lover, you should definitely go.
I spent $5 to get in and $5 on merchandise that normally would have cost me WELL over $50 in a pet shop. Plus, your kids will love it! It is jam-packed full of people, but it's worth it to show your kids animals they wouldn't normally see and they can touch and learn, too. I pet a GIANT Boa Constrictor and a Black and White Tegu (they are so cool!)
Can't wait until next year! I am saving up so I can get my itty bitty dart frogs! : )
