Repticon was here last weekend in Orlando Florida. There were a lot of animals for sale and a nice variety. It was a really fun show. I ended up taking a lot of pics, as you will see.

Wow, thank you for sharing all those! They were really fun to look at, so I can't imagine actually being there to see them in person.
Did you get anything while there?

I ended up buying a new hide for Bowser, he needed something bigger. I was really trying to hold back from buying anything else, sooo... tempting.

Your camera takes great pictures! The detail was so clear. Thanks for sharing. I wish there was a nice show like that here in our area.

Great pictures :D

The yellow tortoise is a hatchling Forsten's tortoise, Indotestudo forstenii. They are from the island of Sulawesi. They get quite a bit bigger than that :p they average about 12 inches.
The turtle you didn't know was a Chinese box turtle, Cuora flavomarginata.

The last one looked like he wanted a kiss, all pressed up to the glass. I would have had to leave my wallet at home not to have bought something. I have discovered I hold a budget well if I do that. :D

That actually seems like a lot of torts for what I've heard of at some reptile shows....can't wait until one is near me (of course I got into torts right after the yearly show!). Thanks for sharing!

Gotta love those tussies on those little sullys they look as if they are all looking at the lizards and snakes in the containers next to them. Great pics Thanks for sharing.

the ig's just look so prehistoric. It's amazing their veg. given the large jaws and many, many, many sharp teeth.

Jamie, thanks a lot, it is very nice of you to post all those pictures. I wish I could go to a show like that, they have a lot of reptiles. What kind of hide did you buy for Bowser :) ?
It must have been really hard to leave without a new little friend :)

I'm not a fan of snakes, but every time I see pictures of (I think they're called pied) those snakes with white on them I think how beautiful that coloring is.

My husband thought I was crazy for taking all of the pictures. It was very difficult not to buy something, there was so much there. I would love to buy a snake, but my husband does not like them. But I did have to leave with something for Bowser, he is like my child LOL :) I ended up getting him a bigger hide, he loves it :)

Thank you for all the wonderful comments everyone!
