Kurt-I've had my fair share of amphibs die after White Plains. I can't believe that last show all I came home with was another snake hook, I usually can't resist getting something.

It was very hot the one day I went to White Plains and we stopped in CT to eat on the way home. Everyone else left there animals in the car when went in, so I did as well. Big mistake! My newts died and no one else lost their any of their animals and one guy bought a frog.
When I went to Hamburg the following September, I brought a styrofoam box with me and in it I placed a bottle of ice water. That kept the animals I bought that day nice and cool all the way home. They all survived the long trip back to Massachustts.
I am dying to go back to Hamburg, there were tons of baby turtles for sale, not to mention venomous snakes like mambas, copperhead, and rattlesnakes.
Last show I went to was last years fall Manchester show. All I bought animals-wise was a Pandinus cf. militarus. This year I am hoping to score some of the amphibians on my want list.
Maybe you should come up to Manchester. The New England Herpetological Society will be having a table at the show and I volunteered to man it.

I'll definitely try. I really really really want to go to Hamburg, mostly for the venomous snakes and Micheal Shrom. I always bring a cooler to the shows. Thats how you can find me, I look like a dork carrying around a lunchbox.

Well, lucky for me, I will be at the NEHS table in Manchester and I can keep my cooler(s) under the table. I want to make to Hamburg to see Micheal Shrom. I really want to get some marbled newts. I e-mailed to see if he would be coming to Manchester, sadly he is not.

I hadn't seen this thread before today. Wow. Lisa you are hardcore . I love the (orange?) terribilis. They look young? Is that foam in their tank? What do you use for most of your back walls?

I love how organized it all is, the shop lights and the side-ways setups. I feel so amateur.

Thanks John. A lot has changed in the frog room since then. I am now to the point of having to put my eggs, tads, and froglets into a spare bedroom. The problem is that I have a three bedroom house and only one bedroom! LOL

The Terribilis in those pics were probably about 6 months old or so. There isn't any foam in the tank...might be white river rock (maybe?). Most of the backgrounds are made from Black handi foam, some are made from the yellow foam from Home Depot covered with brown silicone and coco fiber, others have corkbark siliconed to the back glass, and some don't even have backgrounds.


Oh, about feeling amateur...you won't be for long. This hobby is like crack...one try and your hooked! LOL

[herpinjim]

Your terrariums look great!!!

[nx2ured]

Thanks Jim, you are more than welcome to come by sometime and check them out.

[John]

There's a chance I'll be in Roanoke VA in the next month or so - I'd consider a side trip .

[Mike]

How are the lorenzo doing?

[nx2ured]

John, I'm not sure how far away Roanoke is from me, but if you want to take a side trip you are more than welcome

Mike, the Lorenzo are growing like weeds! They are amazing little guys. I can't wait to see what they will look like as adults.

[Kurt]

Forgive my ignorance, but what are Lorenzo?

[John]

Alex- I am probably going to Hamburg in December.

[Mike]

They are one of the dwarf tinctorius localities / morphs.

I've had an adult male for over a year now that I've been trying to pair up but they're generally hard to find since not many people breed them. Aside from the froglets I'm raising out, I traded for 2 sub adults a while ago and put one of them with my male. He started calling and the other one sort of courted a bit, it's toepads are smaller too so hopefully it is a young female. Will find out in a few more months.

[Kurt]

Good luck.

Is there room in the car for me?

[Ebony]

Wow..I'm now thinking of selling my house for a bigger one with an extra room. You have a really nice set up there NX2ured. I'm sure you allot of envious people on this forum. Thanks for sharing

[John]

Why does it have to be my car? :P

[Kurt]

Why does it have to be my car? :P

Doesn't have to be, but do you trust my POS car to get us any where?

[nx2ured]

I have some pygmy goats. Maybe you guys could ride them home. LOL

[Tom Highum]

I have some pygmy goats.
