Here's the site: http://dixiereptileshow.com/index.htm

They do it once a month. Brent and I will be going to the next one, which is next weekend, on the 19th. We're just planning on getting up early to drive down there, spend the day looking around, and getting home.

I know we'll at least be coming home with some feeders. Very Happy

Oh it looks fun. I'd rather go to one next month though. Maybe I'll have some money by then.

PostSubject: Pics from show!   Dixie Reptile Show Icon_minitimeFebruary 19th 2011, 10:25 pm

Ok, so we're home! I got the pics uploaded to FB, but I'll put them here, too! I had this started, and then my stupid computer died! It ended up being a small show, but Brent and I still had fun! We didn't expect anything big, and I think it was a good show for our first one.. nothing too overwhelming!

There was still a pretty great selection of animals for such a small show, especially snakes.. there were morphs that I didn't even know about there, and now, that I will be dreaming about, lol! They also had some beardies, cresties, frogs, turtles, gargs, turtles, some kind of other lizards, an insect feeder vendor, lots of rats, and supplies.. only a total of 4 leo's.. all of which one person bought. That was a little disappointing, but no big deal, cause Brent and I still came home with two new geckos!

Okay, here come the pics! Sorry if they aren't that great or are blurry.. a bad photographer+an okay camera= okay pictures! Lol!

Some of the vendors:

Baby Beardies! I was so tempted by this little fella! They had some very nicely colored beardies, unlike the boring ones at Fins n Skins:

Haha, why? Is KFC better in Kentucky? Or is the special one in Corbin? And, I've looked at the schedule, and Corbin is not on there again yet. Most of the other cities are anywhere from 3-5 hrs away, so, not terrible. They'll be in Bowling Green I know..

We stopped in Corbin for lunch when we went on our trip to pick up Eve, my female mojave. We were going to go to the KFC there but went to Sonny's BBQ instead. Maybe I'll try the KFC next time we're up there. Wink The billboards along the way had me sold on some fried chicken and mashed potatoes, but the thought of bbq swayed us both to go to Sonny's. lol
