Phoenix Reptile Show

[gummybearpoop]

I took a few pics even though it was tough to get decent pics because of the traffic! I was happy to see lots of tortoises. I didn't get pics of everything...I only took pics when there wasn't a mob of people by me!

It was nice to see some captive bred elongata and a radiata for sale.

I picked up some supplies and picked up two c.b. AZ-raised Russian tortoise females for my friend...

What kind of tortoise is that in the 10th picture. Are those Adrabras?

 

[gummybearpoop]

yup yup...those belonged to Blue Beast Reptile....one of our forum members. Very nice animals eh?

I should have labeled all the pics....but I am too lazy and busy...if that makes any sense. haha

Now I have to ask you Gummybearpoop, did you post these on purpose because you know that Rav007 said that he couldn't see the Aldabras thought the screen, but here you have a perfect picture of them. Do you have special connections with Tyler? lol Sorry, I couldn't pass that one up.

Oh no....hahaha I could see how it almost seems like I did though. My only special connection with Tyler is that we are both tortoiseforum members. Actually, I didn't have a chance to meet Tyler-he must have been mingling or throwing out a dirty diaper...although I did meet his wife who was very kind.

I just bent down a little bit and saw the tortoises. All the tortoises in the terrariums could be seen that way. I could see them just fine....the only way I would want a closer look is if I were going to purchase an animal.

Very nice photos! We picked up a yearling pair of rhino iguanas from Jerry Fife, that big one in the back corner (seemed bigger than the one you show in photo 4) was amazing. My wife has been asking for one or two of them for a year or so. I didn't know they could be probed like a snake.... That's how they sexed them, combined with a larger head size on the male.

Sorry I wasn't around when you came by. I was going to ask why you didn't introduce yourself. I was there probably 95% of the time, but tried to sneak away when the booth got slow to check out the rest of the Expo. I did have a few diaper trips to an outside garbage can, so that might have been where I was, in all reality. Fun weekend overall. Show wasn't great for us, but we had a blast.

I cam late on sunday...had to work over the weekend. Hopefully, I will get a chance to meet you at another show or something. Jerry Fife is a really nice guy.I have been wanting rhino iguanas for such a long time, but I don't have the space and money for an enclosure. Sorry to hear you guys didn't do so well at the show. I like how you guys set up the animals...ie. the pancake setup had rocks for the tortoises to hide under VS. the other dealers who had pancake tortoises on rabbit pellets and nothing else. You also had a grass "pad" for the aldabras to graze on....etc,etc.

I was tempted to purchase some animals from you, but I just don't have the time and space. All your animals looked very nice and healthy. I would highly suggest you to anyone in search of a tortoise.

The aldabran tortoises in the picture were at the Phoenix Reptile Show, in Tyler Stewart's Blue Beast Reptiles booth. You can contact him about them.

This picture is amazing! It took me several seconds to determine what that strange-looking stuff was and I finally figured out it must be Sphagnum moss! Very nice picture!

Wow, great pics! What kind of animal is in the 4th pic from the top? He looks like a litle dinosaur.

 

[Meg90]

Thats a Rhino Iguana, if I'm not mistaken
