I have it on good authority that some members of TFO, in spite of their 'silence', will be present at the NRBE next weekend in Daytona Beach.
Among the non-TFO'ers (to the best of my knowlege) coming are a well known Manouria e. ssp. breeder, an individual who, although not specifically known for tortoises, successfully bred Manouria impressa for the first time in captivity and one of the foremost turtle & tortoise suppliers in the country. There are a few other well known turtle breeders (who also breed some torts).
Relatively speaking, it seems that chelonians are better represented this year than in the past.
Keep your dress on Art. Barbie and I will be there.
Planning on meeting up with Dan O'Malley at the Clock Tower Bar of the Hilton at 6:00 PM Friday. Hoping you show up too...
I will be going on Saturday Even though the show is like an hour away or so, we enjoyed it so much last year that we must go again! We also got a lot of free swag last year like different kinds of feeders for the dragons and 2 containers of cactus pieces. I can't wait! I will be taking pics too
Hey, if any of you lucky people who are going to be there today see the goldfield form shingleback skinks for sale, I wold really appreciate some pictures. My phone was ringing off the hook about them Saturday night, but no one has any pictures. Any contact information for the seller would be great too!
