Baby has beautiful eyes.

Baby's mouth was taped, but he spent the entire weekend looking very calm and relaxed. He is a PERFECT gentleman!

This display of Crested Geckos in little soda cups cracked me up!!

These plants were GORGEOUS! They made me wish I could keep plants alive.

Scheltopusik. I want one. Sadly this one was not for sale. I was thrilled to see him though!

A very relaxed iguana.

Bamboo Ratsnakes. So pretty. Sooooo pretty.
http://i206.photobucket.com/albums/b...4/DSCN1230.jpg

I should have taken pictures that included the names of all the various vipers and cobras.
http://i206.photobucket.com/albums/b...4/DSCN1229.jpg

Still more...

Can I come out?
http://i206.photobucket.com/albums/b...4/DSCN1220.jpg

Boomslang. Very very dangerous....and beautiful.

Green Mamba!
http://i206.photobucket.com/albums/b...4/DSCN1208.jpg

Inland Taipan. They are very shy, which is lucky for us because, drop for drop, they have the most potent venom of any snake.
http://i206.photobucket.com/albums/b...4/DSCN1205.jpg

The Fer-De-Lance may not be as potently venomous, but they are AGGRESSIVE. These guys kill a LOT of people in the wild.

I'm finally done! I hope you enjoyed!!

Wow, so many pictures, and such fun critters every one! Thanks for sharing with us!

Those are great pictures!
A woman I used to work with took her son to the expo this weekend. As much as I am not a huge lover of reptiles, it would be neat to go to an expo and see all the different kinds......safely behind glass or in enclosures. :)

Wonderful pictures!

Whenever a reptile expo comes around, my friends always tend go and one of them wind up bringing home a new addition. I mean, how could you pass that up with such beautiful creatures? ;)

I'm glad you guys likes the photos!!

sallyandsnowx, this is the first time I've been to an expo without bringing someone new home! It IS hard to see such beautiful animals all day and not bring one home! The friend whose booth I was helping to run told me to let her know if I was especially fond of any of the snakes she produced and she'd 'pay' me for my time with a baby....I'm pretending I didn't hear that!

Wow! Such nice pictures! Some very cool reptiles!:cool:
