Snakes at Reptile Swap Meet - Wheaton Illinois - May 30th 2009

The Reptile Swap Meet in Wheaton Illinois is a time-honored tradition amongst local herpetologists. I have been coming here for several years, after being referred by Dr. Hermann (http://bit.ly/WmqYt). I had a great time today, as always - and likely back next week! I recommend checking it out.

Originally called the Lee Watson Reptile Swap, I'm sad to share that Lee Watson has passed on. He was a wonderful man who added happiness to the hearts of thousands of animal lovers over the years. He fought a tough battle with cancer and never let his pain get in the way of sharing animal resources with people he loved so much. Scott Smith has taken over the swap meet tradition http://reptileswap.com/

I hope you enjoy my FIRST of Darren Williger's videos outside of http://12seconds.tv/channel/williger

Very cool! Snakes have no respect for people wearing glasses - :) That's awesome that there are so many people there - one of them looks a bit like Weird Al (around 46-50 seconds in) - did they also have other kinds of animals at this event, or was it just a reptile show for this particular one?

[darrenwilliger]

@taburineagle WOW that may have been Weird Al! Event has been going on for at least a decade that I know of and has every type of exotic animal you can possibly imagine, including hedgehogs, ferrets, sugar gliders, tarantulas, ducks, cats, tortoises, birds and more!
