I went to the northwest reptile expo in Renton, WA today, man that place was a madhouse! I think I got pictures of all the tortoises/turtles, plus a few other interesting creatures. Some of the booths with tortoises/turtles were actually a little upsetting to me, it looked like people were selling deformed ones.
I tried to get the name/price of everything in the picture, I had to fight the urge to take them all home, but I've already got my hands full with just one tortoise!
Two headed red eared slider
I think this was a Fly River turtle?
That's one huge "pixie" toad
Ok there were several of these baby sliders with severely deformed shells, and I overheard the vendor telling a kid that just makes them a cooler pet that other kids don't have.
Goliath bird eating tarantula, it was bigger than my fist and not fully grown.
Beaded lizard, these things are actually pretty dangerous
I had one of these in 6th grade, until a neighbor of mine was pet sitting and she left the tank open(which was on a dresser) and he climbed out and fell pretty far to his death. I've never even seen anyone sell them since then.
Too cute
I think these were mini musk turtles, they said they only reach 3", they were seriously the size of a nickel
Another mini musk, this was about an inch though
Some beautiful Greeks from northwest reptile rescue, I had a nice conversation with the guy about how they breed Greeks, but mostly it sounds like they do rescues.
This was the saddest rescue of all, this is Scorch, his previous owner doused him with accelerant and lit him on fire.
And lastly, a very bad picture of me happy as a clam to make friends with this gentle giant!
