normals, jungles, albinos and albino jungles. Was a good turn out for the show. Lots of window shoppers but as my first reptile expo vending I found a side of me i thought was there but never have had the chance to do, and that is educational work. I went to sell boas and i left not caring about a dime i made. Handing little kids snakes and seeing the smile on their faces as they behold these beautiful animals is priceless! Kids getting their parents who claim to be terrified of snakes to touch and even hold them! I met people from all over the united states and even some foreign people. Met 1 lady who spoke not a word of english but I could tell she wanted to hold a snake. I handed her a baby and I will NEVER forget the grin and enthusiasm that spread across her face like a plague. Her husband was in the background and he smiled at her smiling. An unforgettable moment that i will cherish for a long time. I love these animals and no matter how dry my mouth got from answering everyones questions and answering the same 5 questions all day it was so worth it and ive already booked the next show. I was told by many many people at the show who have been attending for years that I am the first person who really has boas and is willing to talk answer questions and let handle regardless if they are buying or not. It makes me sad yet happy to hear that nobody has reached out to KC yet to show these people that these larger snakes are not man eaters and killers but at the same time I feel beyond priveledged to be the one who can be educational. It was an experience I would do every day if I could. I know i said a lot but its hard to put into words just how exciting it was to show people of all ages and sizes there is nothing to be afraid of. Cant wait for the next show!!!!!
