Anyone been to Columbus show?

[cschneider]

I'm planning on going to the reptile show this weekend in Columbus OH in search of a nice new addition. Has anyone been to any shows up there. I think they have a show every month. It's only a 2 hour drive for me but wanted to see if anyone knew anything about it since i've never been. Do they usually have a lot of BPs for sale? Also, i was going to go out and get stuff to make a rack but won't have time before this weekend. Do they have prebuilt racks and housing at the shows? I figured if they did, they would be cheaper at a show vs. buying one on the internet.

I've been to this show. Haven't been in awhile, but I doubt it's changed much. It's a good show, just a little small. They usually don't have a whole lot of racks there... it just kinda depends on who is going to be showing up. If Jason's Jungle is there, you could pick up a nice set from him.

I always enjoyed going to this show before I moved, always got my feeders there, and picked up some nice additions. Most of the vendors are good people... just remember to ask your questions and look your animals over before purchasing.

i went two months ago approx and got my male spider. Not a great deal of snakes but enough to suit me

i've been to the last two, went in loaded came out broke. i picked up a nice female pin for 200$. a male het albino male for 50$, a female mojo for 350, and a male lesser for 300.
they had a ton of normals, bumblebees and yellow-bellies. also was a handful of various hets. only saw a couple spiders, pastels, mojo's. i found the best buys/snakes on the smaller tables after walking by them a few times without noticing them, you really have to look
i got my lesser from michael spradlin/R.E.M exotics. he was a real cool guy and had a lot of nice animals.
its close to 2 hours for me as well. 4 hours of driving and 45 mins of shopping

OOOO! I'm so excited I can hardly wait. I'm hoping to just get 1 bee or pied. I only have room for one more without buying more tanks. I think if i find a rack up there i will get one of those too! I would love to find a good rack that holds 5 or 6 BPs at a decent price. Then i can get more than 1 snake!
