Yesterday my family came with me to another Ft. Lauderdale Repticon show, and to my surprise even my mom seemed to have a good time. I got to stock up on insects and supplies, I was able to drop off two dead frozen chameleons to Dragon Backbone to articulate the skeletons for me (I'll post photos when I receive them in a few months!), and my mom even found a hat to buy. I had a great time like usual (although the show seemed dominated by bearded dragons this time!) and we had an incredible lunch afterwards just a couple streets over at Tarpon Bend (their black and blue burger- to die for!)
The last photo is my food pick-up for the next month or two - a box of 500 crickets, a box of 500 superworms, and a tub of 500 mealworms. With only two chameleons and a single gecko, my food bill has gone down considerably! The crickets will only last about a month but the worms I can get 2-3 months out of easily. Shout out to Georgia Crickets for being so nice, and always remembering who I am every time I stop at their table.
Who else went to this show? Did you also stock up on supplies or did you leave with a new pet (or two?) Let me know in the comments!

Hello there, I'm Spanish-born biologist currently residing in Miami, Florida. I became a keeper of chameleons several years ago, after having accumulated over 10 years of experience working with exotic animals at various centers, zoos, rescues, and animal hospitals prior to that. This blog post is written per my personal experience and education.
