It has been a couple of weeks since we last recorded. We caught up a little on what has been happening in our lives. This show is all about the Anaheim Reptile Super Show that happened back at the beginning of January and its impact on the west coast reptile shows. We also talk about all the great things reptile shows do for our hobby and what we can do as buyers and vendors to improve on the impact they have.
