If you enjoy talking reptile, or you are just looking for other people who enjoy frogs and snakes and such, you won't want to miss the North American Reptile Breeders Conference & Trade Show, with 100 dealers and their 10,000 geckos, gators, iguanas, snakes, lizards and tortoises. Here's one to share with your new friends: What would you get if you crossed a newborn snake with a basketball? A bouncing baby boa!
