One of the advantages of coming in a day early for vendors is the NRBE Icebreaker, hosted by Timberline, Zoo Med and Gourmet Rodent.

Then there's getting your badge early. And the free food. And saying hello to everyone while it's still relatively quiet here.

Tomorrow's a big day, with a trip to St. Augustine early in the morning, back for the USARK open meeting, lunch and then the CITES workshop with U.S. Fish and Wildlife. Quick break for dinner and then off to the night's talks -- all of which we'll cover live here on kingsnake.com. You can find a single page with all our NRBE resources from Daytona right here.

Remember, all of the photos can be seen in the NRBE 2010 photo gallery. And as always, more photos after the bump.
