Seattle reptile expo

[sde]

Anyone else going to the Reptile expo in Renton on May 9th? I will be there. There will be some axolotls, but I am hoping there will be some other Caudate species as well.
It was a blast last year, and I got some Salamandra.

Do you think I would be able to find some Taricha Granulosa?? I'm looking for a copper or purple axolotl too, but mostly those adorable Newts ). If you think I can find those, Then I'm goin! Lol

I never thought these critters would be so addictive :crazy:

No, odd of there being any Taricha is very small. Firstly, only the native species is legal to keep in this state, and it is against the expo rules to sell illegal species. And secondly, it is also against the expo rules to sell native species. As for the axolotls, I know there will be a vendor selling axolotls, but I am not sure if they will have coppers or purples.
Here is a list of the vendors Northwest Reptile Expos – Seattle Vendor List
A LOT more addictive than you would think indeed!

Okay, hopefully you can!

The expo is tomorrow! I will be there toward the start.
There are now two vendors who I know will be selling Axolotls, and the guy I bought my Salamandra ssp. from last year will be there again too, so he will hopefully have some more.

The expo was awesome!
The guy who I got my Salamandra from was listed as a vendor last time I checked, but apparently changed his mind because he wasn't vending.
I thought the axolotls that were for sale were high priced, the lowest price for a sub adult wildtype was $30, and small wildype juveniles that looked like they had just gotten their back legs were $20.
However, I did find some CB juvenile Hypselotriton orientalis for $4 each! I got 6 total, they are aquatic and at least two have already eaten.
