We’re still here.
Just extremely busy with our family.
We still have little ones hatching. This one from Bamboozled x Opal hatched this week and I love it!

10/23/2024

We are far from being where we want to be in terms of numbers… and little hatches like this ain’t helping 🤣
Phantom x Circus Peanuts kiddo!
We’ve decided to keep Phantom and will be pairing him with Big B***y Judy for 2025.

We hope to do some listing of what is still available in November!

**UPDATE: he has been found!**
Be on the lookout for Marshmallow!

Stolen off our table at NARBC.

Please let us know if you see him!

Come stop and say HI! We have lots of geckos who would like to go home with you at NARBC Tinley.

10/11/2024

NARBC IS ALMOST HERE.
We will be in our regular spot - back wall in the middle! We anticipate getting there in the afternoon but we have a lot more to cup tomorrow morning so we will see how it goes!

NARBC Tinley PSA time!
Who is ready for a weekend of reptiles, good company, and maybe some shenanigans?

NARBC Tinley really is THAT big. People, vendors and attendees, come from all over the country and even some out of the country! Here’s a roundup of tips and commonly asked questions, but please feel free to ask any in the comments!

How do I get Tickets?
There are two types of tickets: VIP and General Admission. VIPs get in early on Saturday and Sunday along with setup on Friday. This ticket is $50 and is good all weekend. General admission is $15 for Saturday or Sunday (ticket only gets you one day). No Friday admission. Online ticket sales are still open but you can also purchase VIP at the show! General admission has a LONG LINE to start the show. See their website for info on tickets.

What is the parking situation like?
It can get a little crazy at opening time but do NOT park at LA Fitness unless you want to be towed. You may end up in the hotel lot even. Carpool if you can!

Can I hold one?
This is not a petting zoo type of show. Some animals will be available for holding/petting but many will not due to the nature of the show - packed full of people and stressful for animals!

Do not bring your own pets to walk around with. This is a show rule.

What about strollers?
If you can avoid it, leave them at home! The aisles are not all conducive to strollers, especially large ones. You will have to be extra conscious of placement. All kids need to be under constant and direct supervision. I say this as a mom.

See something and don’t like the price? Or don’t understand the cost? See something that’s “so small that you’d lose it”? There’s no need to make a comment, it just doesn't sit well with others. But feel free to ask questions about it!

What should I wear and bring?
Wear comfortable shoes and clothes! Lots of standing and walking, not really anywhere to sit unless you’re in the hallway. It’s going to be beautiful out this weekend! Don't bring a coat in unless you really like saunas. I would suggest a bag to carry things. Also, be prepared to bring something home with a cooler in your car 😉

Be aware of your surroundings.
Try not to block people’s tables or others ability to view if you’re just talking to friends.

“Can you hold this for me? I just want to do a quick lap.”
Don’t ask a vendor to hold something and never go back. It leaves a sour taste in their mouth and ruins future relationships. If you end up changing your mind, tell them as soon as you can! BUT if you’re asking like, I just bought this from you, I don’t want to carry it around through the show, absolutely ask your vendor to hold on to it. Most will gladly do so!

What kinds of payment are accepted?
While it really depends on the vendor, cash is king (especially from a bargaining stand point). Many vendors will have accept credit/debit cards, some will accept Apple Pay, Venmo, CashApp, or Zelle as well. Just ask!

Food in the area? There are lots of food and shopping options in Tinley a park and the neighboring town Orland Park! Like A LOT. But if you don’t want to leave, there’s a restaurant in the hotel and concessions in the lobby.

Most important thing to do this weekend is to have FUN and enjoy the company of other reptile loving people!

This is one of the last Tinleys we will be vending - depending on how much sells this weekend. Let’s make it awesome!! 👏 🤩🥳

As always, we will be vending next to Sunshine Geckos AH who has beautiful leachies and cage decor! Be sure to check them out!

A Phenomenon x Marmalade daughter I was growing up with the intention of her replacing her mom in breeding projects. Haven’t decided on a 🏷️🤑💲for her yet… or if she stays as one of the six we keep…

What are your thoughts??

10/01/2024

It's October - that means it's almost time for NARBC Tinley! We are super excited to see everyone in - EEEK - only 10 days! So far, 15 of our breeders are awaiting their new homes but there are still many more that are still available, but some that haven't been pictured - like this lady - Biohazard! This is a Chemtrail girl (from Girlzilla) and was paired with Phantom, and has laid her first set. She's available ;)

Got all of our labels for Sunday’s show printed! This is the gargoyle (and two baby chewies) bowl - because I didn’t have anything else within arm’s reach 🤦‍♀️😝

Got some gargoyles I have been growing up coming to Nebraska!

Can’t wait to get down there and check out the zoo.
