SouthWestern Herpetologist Society Fall Exhibit at Placerita

ftorres

Hello,

We were invited to the following event:

Francisco,

We would like to invite you and SCABIES to join us at our Fall Exhibit at Placerita Cyn on October 10th. Setup will be from 8-9 am. Please let me know how much space you will need.

We will have the entire nature center for this event and look forward to the largest show that we have had in a few years. We should have at least twice as many visitors as we had at Eaton Cyn. We will have at least one Chumash storyteller and one dance group.

Please submit a list of animals that you will be showing. I will need the common and scientific names of each species, the size of your containers, and any special nees like electricity, being against a wall vs. windows, etc. Tom Hagan will type up exhibit cards for each animal with the name of the exhibitor. We will need this information by the end of Sept.

Thank you and we look forward to seeing you there.

Sharon

OK everyone interested on participating please let me know and also send me a list of the inverts you would like to bring to show as well as what it is asked on the letter above.

I am looking forward to get many new members to come and join us so we can educate the public.

for those who live in the Valley, this will be a great time to come and meet with us, not exactly a BBBQ but a nice gathering were we can share our passion with the public.

By the way, I would love to fill 3 tables, so inverts and reptiles are welcome, just send me the list so I can forward it to Sharon before the due date.

Tell Sharon I'll bring Corucia! :-) I could bring my son's Emperor Scorpion and her babies, too.

Is the public going to be handling the animals? If so, I could also bring Vinegaroons and Tiger Hissers.

balam

I had mentioned to Francisco I'd help him out as well.
I'll send you a list of animals I'll be bringing by the end of day tomorrow Wink

Here's what I have:
1.0.0 b.vagans, 4.5." Handsome boy, predictable, but I wouldn't handle him. He's a nice, hardy boy, though; he's the one I have taken to schools the most.
0.0.1 a.avic, 4.5." Adorable. S/He's in premolt at the moment, however.
0.1.0 b.smithi, 3.25." The girl you sold me. She's molted twice since! She's a scaredy cat, though; not sure I'd even try hold her. You can try if you want... Razz

0.0.2 a.versicolors, 1." Pretty little babies, beautiful iridescent blue with tiger stripey butts. They love being held, though they do go off running sometimes.
0.0.1 a.azuraklaasi, 0.75". Too young to be handled by the unwashed public? However, this is the single most loving and affectionate T I have ever met.

balam

0.1.0 Mastigoproctus giganteus
0.1.0 Avicularia aurantiaca
0.1.0 Megaphobema velvetosoma
0.0.1 Theraposa blondi
0.1.0 Hogna carolinensis
1.2.0 Lasiodora parahybana

I think that should be enough, but if you need more reptiles I might have a couple more things to bring Smile

Yay! Something close! The only thing I have to share that you guys probably don't have a million of is my legless lizard aka Sheltopusik aka Ophisaurus apodus. It probably will not be cold, but if it is, I'd like to at least give him a heat pad. And I won't let the public hold him. He's a little mean and someone would end up dropping him. I'm an overprotective mother, what can I say?

ftorres

Hello,
That would be fantastic to have your pet on display.

I will added to the list. How big is his enclosure???

thanks

francisco

Celeste

Cool, BugMom! I can't wait to see him.

Last time they did one of these things, they didn't let us take the animals out or let people hold them anyway. I don't know what the rules will be this time.

BugMom

His home enclosure is huge, I'll bring a smaller one for the show. Probably 20 gallon tank.

Celeste

Yeah -- the Corucia are in 2'x2'x3' enclosures at home, but I put them in something about 18"x18"x24" for display. I'm getting too old to lug gigantic enclosures all over the place.

cacoseraph

i might be able to go, but might need to arrange a ride. i have never even heard of Placerita, that i can recall =P

BugMom

It's our nature center here in Santa Clarita. It's been closed for remodeling for the past couple years. My six-year-old could probably give you a guided tour of all the trails. We've been there a million times!

Hello All,

I will bring some adult tarantulas but i'm still deciding which one i'm going to bring. i will post it this week when i finally decide.

ftorres

Hello All,

I got confirmation on the 3 tables for the SCABIES group.

I will be submiting the list of animals tonight.
So what ever is on the list is what will be on display as they will be making us some labels with the scientific and the common name.

I was also asked for the name of the owner in case they need to ask a question on that certain animal.

Emo, if you get back to me by tonight, lets say 10-10:30 I can add your Ts to the list.

I'd like to go, but I would need a ride there.

Are you going Eric? I can be picked up at my place, or my grandparents. Whichever is easier for you.

Edit: I have gas money, and we have you to lunch/dinner some where =]

Thanks, Nick

Celeste

Herpetologyfrk: The_Arachnid's mom might be driving him over to my house (from Ontario) -- check and see if you can hitch a ride with them and I can give you a ride from here.

Francisco: I probably can't make it by 9 am (probably a little bit later). What time does it end in the evening?

balam

Francisco, you can count on me being there by 8:30 AM, but I may leave around 2:00 to 3:00 PM.

ftorres

Hello All,
Everyone that is bringing animals to display need to give me your name and last name so they can be included on the description card.

the names will be there just in case some one has a question and they will know who to talk to.

regards

francisco.

PS Celeste you can bring your roaches.

BugMom

Christy Crawford. That's me. Thanks Francisco.

Hello All,
Here is the flyer for the event.

if you would like to print some of these to pass them around or place them at your local pet store. Please contact me so I can email you the flyer.

I was also told that no animals will be held by the guest.

Only the ones at the Junior Herps Table.

So none of our animals will be held, so lets try to bring them in nice and visible set ups.

Thanks

francisco

cacoseraph

BugMom

Francisco, can you please email me the flyer? Thanks.

balam

Hey Man, are you suggesting my enclosures are not nice?????

j/k

Andrew,

I can pick you up at your place if you can;t make it out to Pasadena.

Let us know.

cacoseraph

we've been trying to have this god danged garage sale for literally almost a year now. i really need the bucks from selling all my crap... and i think i have like, forced the issue enough to actually have the sale that day. i can't back out of the sale cuz i am the primary impetus for it

sucks

there is a tiny chance that the sale isn't going to happen after all, cuz everyone else is still dragging their feet, though... but i don't want to count on it

balam

let us know. Wink

Celeste

Yeah, Andrew -- our phone numbers are in the Mod area if you need to reach us at the last minute.

Celeste

URGENT: the SWHS needs volunteers to help direct traffic in the parking lot. They are looking for 3-4 volunteers at all times, for the time period from 9:30 am to 3:30 pm. I told them I could probably volunteer for at least an hour (or more), since I'm pretty sure I can count on other scabies members to watch over my critters in the interim.

It's only a six-hour period, so if we could get a bunch of scabies members to each volunteer an hour (or more), we could provide them partial coverage. I could probably do it for two one-hour blocks, with a break in between.

Can anyone else help out? If so, let me know and I'll relay the info to them.

balam

I'll help out if needed Smile

ftorres

Hello All,
OK so who is ready for tomorrow?

I will see you all there.
