Post Raleigh Show Report
Well, I had a great time in Raleigh, caught up with friends I hadn’t seen in a long time and met a few new ones. I sold a few snakes too, which was a nice bonus to the weekend.
The proceeds of the show are going to buy some new caging from Reptile Basics. I know, I’ve always taken pride in the fact I’ve never bought any cages, I’m the do it yourself guy, but I finally had to admit that i just don’t have the time to build everything I need. So I looked at all the major cage manufacturers and I decided that I was most impressed with the cages from RBI Plastics. I’ve got six 3×2 cages being built now which will go a long way toward getting me out of my caging deficit.
Once I’ve used them for a little while, I’ll write a review of them and add to that section of the site.
I also got some new animals while I was at the Raleigh show. After five years of swearing off insectivores, except for my dwarf monitors, I bought four crested geckos. I’ve always liked them but until now I’ve managed to hold to my no lizards rule and resist getting any. I’m really glad I did though, they are neat little geckos and I’ve been needing something new like that to stoke the fire so to speak.
The other new addition I picked up was a pair of Lady Gouldian finches. I’ve always enjoyed keeping birds I’ve wanted some Gouldians since the first time I saw some years ago. They are a truly beautiful finch, and I plan to add another couple of pairs in the future.
All in all I enjoyed vending again after such a long break from it and I will probably do it again once next year.
