    Havre De Grace 1/9
    Just realized I had the 9th off of work. I've never been to this show and its a good 3 hours away from here. I might go, I might not. Have any of you ever been to this show and is it worth a 3 hour trip for me? The next show that is closer to me is in Manassas, Va in February so I'm kind of itching to go to a show. Haven't been to one since the summer.

    I've been.

    There's still some good deals, but the "fly-by-night" breeders are dragging the quality of the animals down and it's been said that some sick animals have been sold there.

    I have basically limited myself to buying supplies (substrate, feeders and equipment).

    I don't plan on purchasing any animals from the show. My next snake is coming from a well known breeder on this forum. They just don't know it yet. :D I just like going and looking at all the animals and I am looking for some new racks soon. I have to replace my adult female rack and get a hatchling rack.

    Do you know of anyone that sells racks there? I've gone to the Richmond show and once or twice I've seen racks, but mostly I see boa/large python cages, not racks.

    I don't recall now, it's been so long since I went. :( But they should have a list of vendors attending and one can always contact those vendors and make plans ahead of time?

    I take a little offense in that statement any show can have flippers & scammers I set up at the november show & my animals are top notch & will put my animals up against anybodys I rather buy from a small breeder instead of a mass producing giant breeder.The bigger breeders are the ones that are killing me offering such deals that its not worth it to sell my animals that cheap! I spend time everyday with my animals & are well taken care of fed & growing good unlike some ive seen the same size show after show because it costs money to feed.

    It's the only game in town, so to speak. The hall in which the show is held is no bigger than a middle school's basketball court. Not a big show at all. I can't speak for anyone but myself. I would probably make a 3 hour trip just to say that I've been, but I can tell you it would probably be the last time I'd travel that far for this show.

    Just one man's opinion,
