The New England Reptile Expo is supposed to be huge. It will be a 2 hour trip for me and I am very excited.

"The Expo Center has space for up to 200 vendor tables, with wider public aisles and a larger food concession. ........ This will be by far the largest Reptile Expo ever held in New England!!"

I'm taking my wife and son, both are afraid of snakes. Hope they can get over it long enough.

Yes, I will do my very best to take some photographs. I just hope they seperate the species into diffferent sections. I very much know that vendors sell all kinds of reptiles, but I can still hope.

I love all reptiles, but it gets hard when I'm trying to look at something and my wife is "hugging" me hiding her face because the nice man is trying to show off his lovely snake.

Just back from the reptile expo. Camera Batteries dead and camera phone was being weird. 75% were snakes, otherwise Beardies, Water Dragons, Tegus, A few Monitors.

Very few Tortoises and even less turtles. I was very dissapointed.

Came back with some blue horned worms (tomatoe bug larvae) and giant cockroaches.
-The Blue Horned thingies are for my son, he loved them. It's going to be sad when they die.
-The Giant cockroaches were me being silly, the salesman conviced me I could have a ready supply of live food and never buy crickets. On the way home I realized I seldomely feed live food and crickets although terribly annoying don't last more than a couple of days when Cleo gets around to finding them.

I just wish they had Box turtles or at least 1 turtle/tortoise person. I love talking about turtles with Turtle people. Beardies and Water Dragons are cool, but I wanted to meet some turtle people

Probally will go, so will this one be as serpent leaning?

Personnally I love all reptiles, but my wife has some kind of weird phobia of snakes.

I will definetly be there, I work every other Weekened, so perfect timing I can go.

I was reading the website and it says Chameleons and Monitor lizards are illegal in Massachusetts, how sad. I don't own any but I love looking at them.
