The NARBC reptile show begins at 11 AM on Saturday; I'll also be giving a talk that day on how to start doing outreach to the general public to benefit the reptile community.

Jeff and I will both be at the show, and if you want to get some kingsnake bumperstickers or assorted swag from the past, make sure to swing by the Psychotic Exotics booth and say hi. While you're there, meet Kerry King of Slayer.

Jeff and I will be bringing you reports starting this evening and running through the weekend. Watch the blog, our Twitter, and our Facebook page!
