Reptile show
16 years ago
Ok, like the title says: I went to a Reptile show today. And it was awesome! Even though I didn't buy a snake or anything there, it was really neat to see all the different animals there (not just reptiles).
First it started off as trying to get a parking space. It was 9 am and it was already packed to the point of a line being from the door to the beginning of the parking lot. So, we went to the visitors parking space of an apartment home for the elderly..XD. And when we went to cross the road all I hear is: "Hey, watch out there's black-" Before I slipped on what "seemed" like a puddle in the middle of the entering of the apartment home parking lot, that was actually black ice I slipped on. I got a good bruise on my bottom because of that. Then when we actually got to the building, we had to wait in the line, for an hour. But when we waited, we saw a hearse come up and try to find a parking space (the building holding the show was squat in the middle of a cemetery) but come to find out that the hearse was just some ones car (the cobra detail on the front kinda gave it away XD). When we finally got into the building, it was chaos..People everywhere, in the tiny little spaces of the building, just everywhere. Then, we looked around. Tons of snakes, lizards, amphibians, tarantulas, scorpions, venomous snakes, even baby gators were there.
It was only a bit since we got into the building when I hear this audience-group "Ohh" When all the lights went out..Apparently it was THAT much of a fire hazard in that place.
We walked around, and around, and around, saw a bunch of different kinds of reptiles, and a lot of them were the same. Plenty of Duremil Boas (my lovely Masquerade snake). Rainbow Boas. Pythons. But when I thought I saw just about everything, I saw the most beautiful snake. It was a cobra, it wasn't albino, it couldn't have been, it was as white as snow, it didn't have pink eyes, no little yellow marks to know that it is albino, this was WHITE and the best part was is that it even was up with it's hood when I saw it. *whistles* simply beautiful. *thinking of picture to draw* Also there was huge freakin' vipers beside the cobra, their head was about as big as my fist (maybe bigger)
We only spent about 2 hours there and decided to not come back to that specific one again (too many people know about it). But, as I was leaving I saw this guy with a tub of only 2 little gators in it. One was older than the other, it was pretty obvious. Then, one guy picked it up and gave it to his girlfriend to hold. I picked up the smaller one and held it, then the seller said that the smaller one that I was holding was missing a foot. And it was right, his bottom left foot was missing, his leg just ended in a stump. And his head was bigger than his body, he was ADORABLE. He was so tame, it was so cool to hold something you never get to hold very often.
Hurrah for a wonderful day!! (besides the chilly February weather)
