Hello Wilhelm, I am sorry to kill your hopes but this is a Bug Show. Perhaps you can find bugs that resemble tortoises, but a real chelonid, I doubt it. Just a remainder make sure to bring your female C lamanai to the BBBQ I will bring my male. regards francisco |
||||
| Celeste |
Emo: my friend Sandy breeds tortoises -- I sold two of her baby Russians at the Anaheim show for $45 each, but she has at least two or three other kinds as well. What kind of tortoises are you looking for? -- Celeste |
||||
| a1_collection |
I can't really find any current info on this Bug show at all on Cal Poly's website or online. I can only find 2005 and 2007 info.
Q: Can we buy insects at this fair? What time will it open up to the public? Confirm that it is on the 18th and 19th of October please. |
||||
| WBurke17 |
First? yes you can buy live and preserved specimens.
second? I dunno Third? yes the 18 & 19th |

| Celeste |
Bugmom,
I hope I get to meet you this time! I won't get there until about 1 pm on Saturday. -- Celeste |

||||
| Celeste |

-- Celeste |
||||
| a1_collection |
It was fun today. Finally I was able to meet you people in person.
I learned a lot today talking to the SCABIES' tables. I would like to thank Celeste, and Fransisco for the information and the animals. Thanks to Cacoseraph, and Jules (sorry if I don't know your name) for the warm welcome in the morning and for the fantastic information you gave out. |
||||
| crash714 |
Hey Everybody,
Working the show was a awesome experience. Being able help someone hold and pet a tarantula for the first time is pretty funny and gives the hobby a chance to grow. I think I convinced a few parents to let their kids purchase inverts today too! Hopefully we gain some new members too from the show, a few people who seem to have some "advance" knowledge grabbed our card and a few that realized that there are others out there crazy about inverts. My friend also told me the dean of the Cal Poly was at our table and she talked to him for a bit. Also numerous people commented on how we were featured on "California Gold" with Huell Howser. So it looks like SCABIES is getting tons of exposure. Eric |
||||
| halfwaynowhere |
I didn't realize this was on sunday, too. I had to work all day today, but I'll definitely head over there tomorrow. Might be nice to check out the old alma mater while I'm at it(that bunch of portables in parking lot K was my high school). | ||||
| cacoseraph |
my dad taped the california gold episode for me (and i still haven't seen it!) so, heh, if someone wants to bring a tv and vcr and some extension cords i can bring the tape
oh, i will be going sunday from about noon till close. if anyone wants we could try to poke around some hills after the show |
||||
| DavidRS |
Don't forget that there's a 2nd room of exhibits. I always get stuck in the dungeon. | ||||

I have some shots of the little critters at our tables.
|
||||
| Emo Cinderella Boi |
I had fun in the pumkin festival nice seeing you guys again. | ||||
| DeniseCasey |
The show was great and it was nice to meet many of you!
Francisco, thanks so much for everything-including the critters. I learned so much from you and I appreciate your patience. I now have a new appreciation for all different types of bugs (still not crazy about roaches or Centipedes) and I learned alot about them just by working with you. It was nice educating the public and I hope we gained some new members as well! |
||||
| crash714 |
It looks like SCABIES and the Insect Fair really stirred the interest in some people. We have a few new members and I'm sure a few kids walked away with some new invert pets after playing with our bugs at the SCABIES table. My friend who came to visit me the 2 days at the show fell in love with all the butterflies on display. I got her a display box from BioQuip and we loaded up on butterflies. Here is what she created, Maybe I should let her re-pin by bug box, looks cool 
|
||||
| DeniseCasey |
Wow! That really is beautiful. Good Job! 
|
||||
| a1_collection |
Glad to see we had some impact on people and the youths. | ||||
| DeniseCasey |
Hi Jules,
What is the ID on the T that you are holding in the photo? Thanks! |
||||
| crash714 |
I believe that is one of our local T's, Aphonopelma eutylenum. Eric |
||||
| Jules |
Yeah, that was Andrew's local girl they were calling "Olive Drab." She was a great demo T. She was out meeting the public for literally hours on Saturday when I was there. |
||||
| AGTrauger |
That's great that my girl (I bought her from Andrew ) was so helpful at the Pomona show. Did she happen to finally end up with Francisco? I'm waiting to hear from him to arrange picking her up
|
||||
| WBurke17 |
Is that the one that I sold for $20????????? 
No one said it was for you... JK. Shes with Frisco |
||||
| arachnofein |
finally met some scabies members bought some T's from DavidRS thanks for the deal and i briefly met caco next time i'll plan ahead so i can hang out longer and meet some other members.
|
||||
| AGTrauger |
No I bought her from Andrew for $35 last week (from his listing on SCABIES) and if you look up above in this thread you will see Andrew said he'd bring her and "something bonusey" since I told him he could keep the $10 shipping if he gave her to Francisco to give me. Ask either of them and they'll confirm this.
|
||||
| Jules |
Did you read Warren's fine (teeny, tiny) print at the bottom? 
Let me enlarge it for you.
|
||||
| AGTrauger |
Whew thanx ... I totally didn't see that  I need to minimize my browser and reduce to 75% size since I'm at work. Thanks Jules ... good one Warren 
|
||||
| Jules |
Yeah, I had a feeling you didn't. Warren's evil trick worked better than I'm sure he anticipated. BTW, You have an awesome T. She is unbelievable mellow and practically listens to commands like a dog. 
|
||||
| AGTrauger |
Yeap actually at 1st I just thought he had confused her with another T ... then I thought some more and started to worry. I'm not mad just feel like an idiot for falling for it haha.
So I'd been itching to try holding a T for awhile but have been worried about it suddenly running off my hand or flicking hairs. So when I saw that Andrew was selling his mellow display spider I thought she'd be perfect ... also she's a local and quite beautiful Since you've handled her already should I let her climb the side of her home (once I get her ofc hehe) onto my hand or can just I reach in and gently herd her onto my hand?
|
||||
| WBurke17 |
APRIL FOOLS  
Damn, that did work better than I had anticipated. |
||||
| ftorres |
Hello,
Adam, she is with me. will contact you soon to schedule the pick up. I want to thank all the members that participated and attended the CAL Poly Show. I hope this was a great experience for all. It was nice to meet new faces and it was nice to have new members as a result of the show and the hard work of the people who manned the table GREAT JOB EVERYONE!!!!!! THANK YOU,THANK YOU VERY MUCH !!!!!!!!!! francisco |
||||
| halfwaynowhere |
Here's a link to the Poly Post article about the fair:
http://media.www.thepolypost.com/...0000.With.Bug.Sales-3496307.shtml I had tons of fun on sunday, even if I hardly left the SCABIES table... too many damn butterflies everywhere else. |
||||
| crash714 |
That local T was the calmest I have ever handled. Mine won't stay still and shoots poop at me . She did her good deed at the show and eased the fear most kids and adults have of spiders/T's.
Francisco, I had a blast helping out those 2 days. I will not hesitate to help out again at any future SCABIES event. It was great talking to the kids and meeting girls that like bugs
Thanks, Eric |
||||
| Celeste |
scabies and Andrew (Caco) both figure prominently in that story! Thanks for the link, halfway! (I remember you -- who could forget a lepidopterophobe? I was the lady with the snakes and Tiger Hisser roaches). |
||||
| ftorres |
Hello All,
Way to go SCABIES !!!!!!!!! Great Article. Thanks Halfwaynowhere. francisco |
||||
| DeniseCasey |
Good Job everyone! SCABIES Rock! 
::lol:: They mentioned our production manager, Larry Donlin in the newsletter. He really hates bugs. He is so scared of my spiders. |
||||
| DeniseCasey |
When you are done with her, I think you might some buyers lined up. Maybe auction style
Or would something tickle you now to sell her ?(hint, hint)
|
||||
| vixvy |
Great job congrats to everybody! | ||||
| cacoseraph |
hahaha! scabies is bug famous!
you know, either adam or myself could put together a trip to hopefully collect more of that type of spider. they are found in northern los angeles county i would like to see her species in the hobby as she is such a perfect living display. of course, it could turn out she is an uncharacteristically nice individual... but i expect they will all be as pretty as she is.
plus, it would be cool to collect immature males and having them mature after we know they look similar preultimate |
