Well, I made it back from yesterday's show with a much thinner wallet than I went in with.

But I managed to increase my gecko collection in the process, so it's mostly good I suppose.

For those curious as to what I got it was:
- one young U. guentheri,
- a pair of Stenodactilus (doriae?)
- a pair of agamura persica,
and
- a pair of Uroplatus (fimbriatus?)

As you can tell, I'm still in the process of both settling everyone in, and of getting them positively ID'd as well.

NIce pickups. Did they have anything else cool. I thought about going. Just to much money to go, park, pay to get in, and buy crickets or possible nothing!

Well, if you got there early, you could have picked up 500 free crickets right off the bat, as one of the sellers was giving them away...

But as far as geckos were concerned:

There where a few flying geckos, the spider geckos, some knobby tails, a handful of chewies, a random assortment of small geckos (vipers, stenos, etc,) a ton of leopard morphs, some leachies, gargoyles and cresties, two Australian velvets, and the three leaf-tails I picked up.
(Southern and Central California has terrible summer weather for transporting Uroplatus, so that may be why I didn't see more of them there.) Lygodactylus williamsi was also a popular offering this year, with pairs going for ~$200

As far as other critters, there was a lot of corn snake and ball python morphs, some very nice emerald tree pythons, chameleons and beardies, turtles and tortoises, frogs, salamanders, tarantulas, roaches and scorpions. (I'm afraid I mostly glanced at those, although I almost bought a rough green snake from the table they had the fimbriatus pair at. The snakes where at the right, the leaf-tails on the left, and getting the leaf tails meant pushing my budget money a little past where I wanted to stop spending at as it was, so the rough greens will have to wait until next time I have money and more room for critters.)
