selling not buying at a reptile show

I'm supposed to be selling. I've sold one gecko and donated one to the usark auction.

I may come home with most of my animals plus a sulcata tortoise and a Mexican red leg tarantula.

Looks like Dixie here I come. Next week I will be in Birmingham at the Dixie reptile show.

There has been loads of traffic at the Atlanta Repticon, but that's been about it. The vendors around me haven't sold much either. Same with a vendor down the way that I know from the pangea reptile forum. Just appears more walk throughs than buyers. Here's for hoping for a better day tomorrow, selling more products and jewelry and at least a few animals.

Atlanta Repticon July 2011

I will have not one but two tables at the July Repticon in Atlanta. I am super excited. I'm really hoping that I can make up my costs for the tables.

In January, my table felt cramped, and the past few Dixie shows have been cramped with one table. I've added a few things since January, so I figured, I'd go big with two tables.

Expect to see 2010 and 2011 unsexed crested geckos, unsexed 2011 gargoyle geckos, sub-adult gargoyle geckos, and possibly adult crested geckos. I will, also, have my jewelry, which will include choker necklaces and earrings, as well as lampwork necklace and earring sets. I will have toys for kids, a few decal cups, hopefully decal beer mugs, various books,  and whatever else I can come up with.

More than likely, the stuff will make my sales worth the trip, but I'm hoping to find homes for some animals too. I won't be able to bring too many 2011 babies because most of my cresteds are just now hatching. I have an incubator full, and many of what has hatched has been more recent. Depending on their sizes right before the show, will depend on who and how many 2011's actually make the trip.

Anyway! Come see me in Atlanta. I'll have goodies for all!

post repticon experience

Saturday was ok with four geckos sold, one being donated to USArk; Sunday, I sold more geckos.

Overall, I found out that pink reptile cups are not as popular as the other three colors-lime green, blue, and black. I also found out that snake earrings are popular and favored.

I may try to make it to the July Repticon, but it all depends on animal inventory.

Overall, a great first experience for my second ever show vending at

first eggs of the season

I found my first crested gecko egg for 2011. I have it in the incubator although I do not think it is fertile.

other news... Atlanta repticon is this upcoming weekend. I am slowly getting ready, amongst my other normal weekly duties.

I'm also trying to get some jewelry ready, as well.

It is a busy week with a coworker out at work, a take home midterm to work on, a paper tow start, and regular homework and reptile duties.

The show couldn't have come ay a worse time, but I hope u am preparing and getting everything as well as I can.
