buying adult bp's at a show ?

[ubecrew610]

I cant wait for the local reptile show at the end of this month! my question is am i going to be able to purchase adult sized balls at the show? will they be more expensive then hatchlings or less? i am only looking for a few pets and the rack i have open has three 41qt tubs in it? so i was hoping to get adults.

Which show are you going to?

Depending on the size and number of vendors, there might be some with adults. I picked up 2 adult normal girls at the last one I went to. They usually are a little less than whatever the current going rate is, but are more expensive than hatchlings.

are you talking about the hamburg show?
there will be adult balls there. you can get good deals on them.
last time i saw an adult male het clown for $50 and an adult male het pied for $50 the het piebald was even microchipped.
just watch who you buy from atleast 1 or 2 people sell WC animals.
i buy a couple things every time i go and i've been going for a couple years.

yea, Hamburg. i am so excited. will they let me handle the snake before i purchase it? or do i have to do it on looks alone. wow 50 bucks. if i do purchase some hatchlings or yearlings how much of a problem do you think it will be placing them in a 41qt tub.

Hatchlings might not like a 41 quart, but I think a yearling would d o better.

Quick fix on the 41q tub: Put a smaller tub in that tub, lid it if you can and put a bunch of holes in it.

Ta-daaaaa.

Some vendors will let you handle their snakes as long as you're using a hand sanitizer, some won't.

wow, i have been thinking about how to do it all day, and that never crossed my mind. do you think the heat will transfer through 2 tubs?

i have handled every snake i bought there before buying them.
i need to build my rack before the show, i am using 41qt tubs
did you build yours or buy it? and how many tubs does it hold?
