The Hillsboro, Oregon show this year was kind of lame. There were at least 10 normal vendors that didn't show up so there were no camels, no primates, no pigeons and a lot less spiders than normal (only one tarantula vendor showed up). There were a couple neat blueys though.
This guy was selling for $85. I didn't handle him/her to see what the temperment was like, but he/she was pretty:
These two were selling as "rescues" and were going for $35. They were in decent shape for being rescues, but still had a few issues. One had dropped the end of its tail and they both had retained shed on their toes, but for $35 they were hard to pass up!
This guy was so dark! If I had more room, I would have come home with him:
This guy was cute too, but not nearly as fun as the dark one:
and of course, I had to take a picture of a spider:
I WILL own one of these someday. They were selling for $175 for a 2inch sling. So tempting, as that is a good price for that size, but I resisted and bought another ornamental species instead.
