This is not a very big show, but if you've never been to one before you should enjoy yourself. Big Gunns thinks Ian will be there. If you tell him you know Big Gunns, he'll probably hook you up, and make you laugh about using Big Gunns name.:D

Shows are definitly worth it.

I went to a small show last month and met an amazing breeder I never heard of before. Ended up picking up an amazing animal from him at a very good price.

Couldn't be happier! I say go. That's not too far of a drive.

If you like reptiles you will like going to a show. There are usually lots of cool things to look at and you can get some good deals. Not to mention you can hold and get a good look at what you are buying instead of just pic's on the Internet.

Even small shows have really cool things to look at. Everytime I go to a show I see something I haven't seen before. Plus that is where I met my breeder!! LOVE HIM!! Had I not went to that show ....I would have never known about him.

You'll get to see some very cool animals. You'll find decent to awesome deals on reptiles your local pet shop has never even heard of. Most importantly, you'll get to talk one-on-one with fellow enthusiasts, breeders, and real reptile pros on both sides of the table.

Go. 'Nuff said.

I wondered the same thing. Would always hear about them going on here in SoCal, but never went. Then one weekend I decided to check one out, and was AMAZED :)

Going to the reptile expo here is what got me back into the hobby after many many years. I highly recommend you go!

ohh yeah..... I only drove 12 hours 1 way to get to pheonix show last month I loved it just wish I had more money to burn there...... wasnt a big show but I loved it

Def worth it. Most of the shows you can make a deal with the seller and get the snakes a lot cheaper. Don't be afraid to bargin with them.

Definitely, I went to my first one last month and really enjoyed it. Got a
good deal on my carpet too. Make sure you check and double check for mites or anything of that nature before you buy though
