Sarasota "Reptiday" with Ray

Postby Dakota » Sun Aug 30, 2015 8:59 am

Even though we weren't sure if the vehicle would make it (having some battery troubles, go figure!), we decided to go up to Sarasota to help Ray with his tables and such. Not sure how much of help we were, but it was an awesome experience!! Being able to meet a legend to the BTS world is one of my life goals. It was awesome seeing Ray speak to all the people that came to his table, explaining genetics, diet, housing, etc. to all those that asked, without even hesitating. You can see the enthusiasm glowing off him!! And he stood up the whole time, too! My knees started trying to give out about halfway through. :lol: It was a life changing experience for me. I highly recommend anyone serious about Tiliqua to give this guy a call or something. He'll talk your head off. :)

I was just mesmerized by all the skinks he brought. They certainly do look better in person!!

Can't pick a single favorite. I really liked the Blotched, the orange Merauke, the neon yellow Northern, and the red banded Irian Jaya. All of them were great, though.
