I will be going. I hope to have a Varnyard stock Gu by then, but I want to go either way. I just really enjoy walking around and eyeballing all the cool reptiles I'll never have, lol.

It's nearly impossible to eyeball without walking out of there with something!

Haha tell me about it! If that happens, so be it, there's certainly worse things

If I didn't already have a prior engagement, I'd be tempted to fly out to NY and go (one of the perks of my job is that I can fly most places in the US for free; gotta love being a flight attendant. *grin*)

The only problem with that is bringing a cold blooded critter back on the plane.

Especially since the FAA prevents people bringing pets other than a cat or dog onboard.

Well, actually, there's a loophole. For owners just wanting to travel with their pets, only cats and dogs are allowed. HOWEVER, if you can find a doctor to sign off on your pet being a "Emotional Needs Pet" or "Comfort Animal", then, I believe, you can travel with just about anything, and the airlines can't stop you.

I'm keeping my fingers crossed for the day when I have one of those "service ponies" on one of my flights; they're freakin' ADORABLE.

Anyone think it would be a good idea to get a blue tegu at the show? If they have one?

 

[DaveDragon]

You won't find any. There are only a hand full of breeders. We sold Blue hatchlings there a couple years ago. I doubt anyone has hatched any yet, usually later this month or next month. We didn't get any eggs this year. The male bit off the females tail during breeding

 

[DaveDragon]

Amazingly there was a Blue Tegu there! One from last year, about 2.5 feet long for $450.
