I certainly am looking to get a ride there. My ride had to cancel and unfortunately I don't think that there are many on the forums from London, ON.

I am willing to pitch in for gas and pay your way into the expo OR I can offer a Crested Gecko juvie for a ride.

If anybody is able to please let me know ASAP. I really don't want to miss this Expo.

Thanks ... Dyesub Dave. :biggrin:

Maybe you can go there in bus ? But i dont know how much it will cost, If its far it will take time and probably will be expensive.
Im wishing you good luck.

Well that would be great but Quebec is a bit far to come to London isn't it? I've posted on a local Aquarium Forum as well as Kijiji but still no responses. I'm actually a bit surprised that I haven't found anybody that has room yet.

Anyhow .... I'm still keeping my fingers crossed. ;-)

I took my daughter Erika along to keep me from spending her inheritance. As it turns out, she's no good at that so only her sister inherits something now (until the next show, when hers gets spent).

Actually, it wasn't that bad, I only got a female cream/orange/chocolate harley crestie and a beautifully done up length of bamboo from Betty at Gecko Brothel for my leachie, Lady Oscar. A few months ago I'd looked into removing the inside barriers from bamboo, and Betty had exactly what I wanted. Ryan worked on it, he gets credit.

I thought I managed to leave with just that, but I had my arm twisted to reserve a few other choice items for the next show in November. I might not have bought the stuff today, but I'm getting it. Should have stayed longer and taken it all today.

Marty was a bit mean to me. He wouldn't let me have his display tanks. I really wanted them, beautifully planted, amazing set-ups. He just wouldn't give them to me. I thought I deserve them, but I guess he's got different ideas. ;)

I'm feeling like an idiot -- had 2 cameras, 3 batteries, 16GB total memory cards and completely forgot to take any pictures.

I also tried to talk Marty into going into the commercial vivaria building business. He says he doesn't have time. I think I'm going to send him an e-mail everyday asking him to build me one until he finally gives in. I picked up some nozzles, tubing, fittings and fruit flies from him and his associate today, can't ask for better service.

This was the first show in 9 years where I was a customer instead of vendor, so I had a lot of fun just cruising the aisles. I just never thought of the cameras in my purse, even though I kept cursing the darned thing because it was so heavy, and didn't make the connection.

:crackup: Now you know how the rest of us feel! :rofl:

I brought a camera to the Feb. Expo and only took around 2-3 pics. I'm bringing it again but would like to get some pics of the different vendors and their setups as well as some cool lookin' reptiles.

My 'Poor Man's Leachie' is already paid for so all I need to get is some 2-part Repashy and some corkbark and I'm good to go. I hope I don't see anything else that I 'MUST HAVE'!!! LOL I don't have any room left .... I need a HOUSE!!

Dave, check out Betty's display of bamboo. She has the wide ones, suitable for your Gehyra. And the best part is that Ryan removed the centre blockages all the way down, so even large geckos can hide inside. I got one for my leachie. The final touch is artistic - Ryan 'burned' abstract type designs on the outside, makes them look so much nicer than plain bamboo. I'll see if I can get Lady Oscar out of hers to take pictures of it.

those pieces of bamboo were nice, but $50? c'mon. If you want more, I'll make them for you for $25 lol

I don't know which ones you saw, but I got mine for $20. The plain pieces with the 'barrier' sections still in place were more at other vendors. I'd tried removing the sections with some of mine and it's not at all easy, so I think I got a great deal on mine.
