Well, the Carolina Reptile and Exotic Animal Show in Raleigh was a success this past weekend.  Crowds were steady, both Saturday and Sunday. 

The most apparent thing I observed, was that most people coming to the show were there to buy snakes.   There were many snake vendors on hand.  There were snakes of every size, color and variety.  But, there were no venemous snakes, since North Carolina does not allow their sale.  For those who must have venemous snakes, they will be available at the Repticon show in Columbia, South Carolina in November.

There were also many lizards of every variety.  There were also tarantulas and scorpions.  I must admit, I don't see their appeal, but to each his own.

There were vendors selling dry goods and other pets such as, birds, cats, pot belly pigs and a few miscellaneous creatures.

There was only one other Dart Frog vendor at the show.  They have been selling there for quite a few years, and so had a loyal following.  I was the new kid on the block and appreciated their advice.

I made new friends, learned a great deal and made some new business connections.  I met the reptile curator for the Greensboro Natural Sdience Center.  They have a few Dart Frogs currently, and I will likely be adding to their collection and trying to assist with their attempts at breeding.

I was also lucky enough to add to my collection.  I now have Green Trivitattus and Pumilio Solarte Dart Frogs.  I look forward to breeding them.

If you have never been to a reptile and amphibian show, I highly recommend it.  There is something to interest everyone.  I hope to meet you at the next show in Charlotte, NC in October.  Stay tuned for more details.
