NRBE: A busy first day comes to an end

Was turnout up or down at this year's National Reptile Breeders Expo in Daytona?

Just like everything else herpers talk about, it's a subject of great debate. All I can say is that it seemed busier this year than last to me, and the pace of day one was fast. Hoggies and kings seemed very popular. I also saw a ton of supplies moving out the door.

Now that I've made the 10 mile post-show hike from the convention center to the hotel -- and taken my second shower of the day -- I'm off to grab dinner and hit the USARK auction. Will report back with photos tonight.
