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.
