I apologize for not having more people pics. That was a stupid oversight on my part.

What a great slideshow! I loved it. I didn't get so much pictures of the snakes, had to keep my eyes on the little ones so I really enjoyed seeing your pictures.

THANKS! Some of the pics didn't turn out at all. None of them was as good as I wanted. For photography, the lighting was awful. All of the snakes were in deli cups or some other plastic container that hampers good pics, BUT keeps us safe from being bitten.

I'm pleased to have been able to take pictures, so that was good enough.

Just wanted to say thank you all who attended the show! The foot traffic was 2,000 plus for both days.

Thanks also goes out to all the vendors! You guys and gals are the greatest! All the animals for sale and on display were outstanding!

Special Thanks to all the SHHS members who attended and the members who volunteered to be our venomous escorts, Andrew from NCARK with his hunting buddy "the redtail hawk" (beautiful bird), Chuck Hurd for his SC venomous display and his presentation,Jeff Mohr and Roark Ferguson for their great presentations and to WNC Herps for their donation of 8 baby corns, New Generation Reptiles for the Adult female Corn and the baby ball python donation, Snakehook.net for donating the hooks, Chad Minter for donating his book and last but not least a BIG thank you to the following for the generous donations: Exo-Terra, ZooMed, CaribSea and Russ Gurley. Thank you all for the great products donated!

It was a pleasure to meet Karl aka Buzztail and the "Boss", Paul Moody from Simply Snakes, Eric from NorthShore and I know I saw FLVenom and most likely spoke with you but I did not get everyones name.

I would like to tell a sort story about a new vendor we had at the show that showed respect for the venomous protocol. As most of you know any venomous that are sold must be escorted out by a staff member or a volunteer. Me and Monica was standing in front of one hot vendors booth and he had a cutomer that was ready to leave and needed an escort out. I sent Monica with him but he had another venomous purchase to pick up at another venomous vendor's booth (Aardvark Breeders and Traders)). Jeff from Aardvark questioned Monica about who she was to make sure she was suppose to be escorting the venomous out (she did not have a name badge nor a Repticon shirt on).

Thank you all for making this a great show for all!

I wish someone had escorted me! I picked up a couple of subadult timbers and nearly got trampled trying to get them back to my table. I was walking carefully but some guy pulled a Deon Sanders move on me, collided and it was all I could do to hang on to the totes...It was a great show though wasn't it? Monica gets to live another day for recovering my favorite popcorn bowl and everything!
