OKay back and I can tell you about the Chicagoland Animal Hobbyist Expo that Lee Watson puts on. I really enjoyed it there, there was SOOOO much to see and so many types of reptiles! Some awesome tortoises - a Greek, several Cherryheads, a YF pair, a HUGE single YF, a handful of Russians, several Sulcata (many babies, then three different sizes of larger ones), and of course regular RF's, one was SOOOO gorgeous and another was HUGE!!! I was THIS close to getting the gorgeous RF (about 6" with the prettiest coloring I've ever seen), but I ended up getting three 5-week old hairless rats instead! GO FIGURE! But I have so many Torts coming in the next month, so I'm good!

Also both my son Deontay and his friend got baby Pac-Man Frogs (so cute... for now.... not too sure how I'll feel when they're eating adult mice...) And my friend that came along got a baby Beardie!

Here are the ratties:

Kelly, I can't believe you made it out of there without a tort! But I knew you couldn't walk away empty handed! LOL I have never seen a hairless rat. Kind of feel bad for the things. Bet they get cold.

LOL - I figured she come out with a tort for sure!! I was waiting all weekend to see what you got. Your rats are very cute, my son wanted a rat but then he got the snake and figured they wouldn't make very good companions. Frogs eating mice??? don't know how I would do with that either.. Congrats on your new rats. Hope you had a good birthday!

LOL I know, it was a TOTAL miracle that I came out without a tort, because there were plenty there that I WANTED! I actually practiced some restraint! WHOA! Mark it on the calendar! LOL! But it was easier to "just say no", knowing that my SPiders from Danny will be here this week!!!!!!!!! And then three RF's from Terry in a couple more weeks!

Yeah you have a bunch comin, much easier that way..

Glad you had a good day and love your new rats.
