Made it back Monday afternoon. What a show. That one is a bunch of work to be sure but we did quite well, saw a lot of people that we deal with normally through the net and met a bunch more. Exactly what we hope for when we do it. And did it rain!
Misting went over very, very well. Sales on it were good, response on it was great and I it looks like we have a winner! The big surprise of the show was the dosing needles! WOW, sold a ton of them there. Hides went over quite well also. Wish we had been able to bring more racks/cages-they were pretty much gone Saturday. Overall I think the show was a bit smaller than it has been BUT attendance seemed to be about right and there was more than enough to look at. As usual there were some good deals, and some not so good but there was something for everyone and plenty of opportunity to spend money. I picked up a pair of hypo bulls from Rob Nimmo (Peace River) for Stu- he is expensive on them but they are the best. They grow up to be absolutely unbelievable, he has worked on a really good line of them-check them out if you are into Pits. Rob is a stand up guy and quite helpful. Tom Stevens will get me talked into those white sided speckled kings one of these days as well………While they are worth every penny I am just “playing around” with the snakes these days so I will wait for the price a little longer.
Neil Golli will be by today or tomorrow on his way home, he did very well at the show and stayed down in Fl. for an extra day to wrestle with his albino gator. Seems to me he isn’t quite big enough for that line of work but hey-its a cool gator. Greg Graziani had one at his table to show off over the weekend. Can’t wait to see if they can get some babies out of this project.
Frank about sold out of our snakes. Got some nice adult corn morphs left for Raleigh as well as some killer albino hognose. He will be set up at Raleigh with some of my dry goods as well so if you need heat panels, thermostats or hides he will be the man to see!
Now we get ready to do it all over again in NY in 2 weeks, looks like Neil will meet up with us there again as well and I have to get on some serious re-stocking. Got a few to build for Raleigh this weekend but not too bad. Should have all that done tomorrow.
