Repticon!!

I went to my very first Repticon today. I LOVED it!!! Of course, I couldn't afford any tortoises, but I enjoyed learning more about them and holding all the adorable babies! And the snakes and lizards are being held by my sister, who is much less squeamish than me! Here are a lot of pics of my time today!

Great pics , glad you had a good time ! I don't know if I am going to be allowed to go to those events anymore . Since I bought this guy at our last Reptile Expo !

Wow!!!! I saw some just like him!

There's one coming to Fort Lauderdale on the 18th.
Usually tortoises aren't very well represented. It is snake and lizard heavy.
I like that you wore your TFO shirt.

I was just coming down to say "Nice Shirt!"

Man those redfoots are beautiful!

Aw, thanks! Only one person noticed my shirt at the repticon! I was hoping to see someone else with the same shirt! My sister was very close to getting a snake. If I lived closer to Fort Lauderdale I might go again, and maybe get her a Christmas present lol. I thought they would have a lot more tortoises than they did, I guess you're right about them having mostly snakes and lizards.

I love the mini T-Rex in the last picture! @Tidgy's Dad - does it make you jealous that we can buy dinosaurs here in the States?

I also love the Manouria in the first pictures!!!

I am jealous that you get so many dinosaur fossils in the states, though i specialize in other things.
But we do get dinosaurs here in Morocco, too.

Nice vertebra I got last year.
And a pterosaur tooth. Not got any more photos uploaded now, but will post lots in the future.
Oh, and here is :

Metal kit I made and painted, weighs well over a kilo and another one of the same, now unavailable kits, is going for $1,270 on e-bay !

I told my wife that now that Speedy has moved outside , it was a shame to let that 60 gal tank sit empty ! She said "oh you think your so slick" and I said "what a great name !" I got to buy him with the understanding that he lives out in my shop ! He gets to come inside the house for visits though !

LOL!! That's so funny! I love the "origin" of the name.

@Tidgy's Dad - It was a joke, Adam. The picture shows a little 4" tall plastic T-Rex in a habitat. But I'm jealous of all your artifacts. I've always loved old bones, etc. I used to have a big rock that I found in Coalinga that was full of clam shells - and Coalinga is miles from the ocean.

(Nice job on the kit)
