I am early this time, but I wanted to get the ball rolling on this one. The Toronto Expo is finally approaching and this will actually be my first year going so I am STOKED! I've been to Ajax, Kitchener, Mississauga, and Etobicoke but not to the big CRBE! This is also the first time that I won't be working the night before and the night of. For this years Kitchener Expo I worked from 7pm till 7am Sunday morning, drove the hour and a half to Kitchener, and made it back just in time for my Sunday night shift 7pm - 7am. This year I will be well rested! I imagine it will be more difficult to pick ya'll out of the crowd but Ill be doing a lot of hanging out around tails and scales table so look for me!

sweet! glad to see a lot of people are gonna come out. I'm hoping it's gonna be worth all the hype. I haven't been overly impressed with the last few expos. But in the defense of the organizers, the venues are much smaller and the communities are more remote so hopefully this one will be huge.
I heard Brian from BHB was at the last one so I am hoping to see some international faces. Don't know that we will, but it would be nice to see.

YAh I pretty excited as well. I didnt get to make the Kitchener one unfortunately but I got to the woodbine one which for my first expo wasnt to to bad in my eyes but then again I have not seen the breeders expo in September lol. Im getting pretty stoked for this one because I am pretty sure I am going to be buying my first ball python there
If Brian comes that would be epic! I wonder if chewy will be there? would like to kick that guy in the balls lol.
well.. for those of you who didn't go.. you didn't miss anything much.. I was not impressed. It seems that the expos keep getting worse. I got some good deals on rabbits, and won a pinstripe 500g male in the auction for $125.00. The auction was SO SLOW. It was a reptile and aquatic auction so there was A LOT of fish and aquarium supplies which I had no interest in so every 45 minutes or so they would auction off something to do with reptiles. I wanted to wait for a black pastel male they had with a $100.00 reserve on it, but i had already been at the auction for close to 4 hours and they were only on table 6 and the black pastel was on table 9 so I left. I'll post pictures of the pinstripe when I get him back to my place tonight (he's at my buddies).
For those who were upset that you didn't make it.. it's good that you held off until the next one. HUGE waste of time IMO.

Definite waste of time. Unfortunately it was my first expo...hope they're not all like that. Bought a couple of black hides and that was it. I was excited about the auction, but all I saw the whole time there were fish : (
Parking lot was full so I had to park on a side street. Didn't see any good deals. My buddy was looking for a black pastel female with no luck.
Oh well...killed a few hours...hopefully the next one is better.
