We had a great time (albeit brief) at the Phoenix Reptile Expo. Great turnout! Some really awesome breeders & vendors attended this year.

First I’ll start by showing off our newest friend – a female Ornate Uromastyx courtesy of Doug Dix @ Deer Fern Farms.

We said hello to a couple of local vendors as well. Not sure if all are Arizona breeders, but they sure are familiar by now! Chaotic Nights Reptile had some awesome crested geckos and leos, and they introduced me to some very cool looking red eye crocodile skinks!

Tiki Tiki Reptiles from Las Vegas were in attendance, as well as locals Arizona Reptile Center,  Reptiles & Reefs and Aaron Pauling (who comes down from Northern AZ to vend in our neck of the woods). Thanks to everyone who participated! Can’t wait until 2011!

Don’t forget that the Phoenix Reptile Expo is this weekend!

They have a lot of great vendors again this year. I can’t wait to see what’s going to be out on the table!

This year’s show is at the Mesa Convention Center in the Centennial Hall. You can get $2 off with this coupon.

We’re currently working on the MVR site so excuse the mess. It’s been a good month so far. Our yellow tiger crested gecko breeding group is resting for the winter, and we’ll be reuniting them early in 2011. We’ve put our Pinstripe group together to see if a winter breeding season will allow us to incubate eggs at cooler temps, hopefully lengthening time until hatching – with the end result being larger, heavier babies with nice structure. We shall see!

We’ve also been putting together our Tricolor project, the males of which are still in quarantine, for late 2010/early 2011. The geckos in this group are gorgeous, and we’re very lucky to have snagged them.
