Northern Virginia Reptile Expo?

Worth going to or not?

The Hamburg PA show is a week before but it's REALLY far away.

I don't want to waste time going to Hamburg if NOVA is any good at all.

Anybody got any info on it, please?

TIA!

if you are tlking about the one in manassas....its an ok show...a small wearhouse full of local breeders....brent bumgarder the hognose guys usually goes, the guys at outback reptiles are there as well, and several small breeders. good deals. mostly cheeper snakes, but there are a few high end expincive snakes aswell. its a decent little show. but hamburg and richmonde are bout 10 times better. but ill prolly be at the next show...and prolly the hamburg show as well.

Thanks!

I'd love to go to Hamburg but it's almost a 3 hour trip.

I'm going to try and make it.

[not much for long car trips, myself].....:)

I like the NOVA show. I try to go whenever I can because it's close to me and can have some great surprises from local breeders and the consistent bigger ones. Just make sure there aren't any bigger shows going on at the same date because sometimes you'll lose the regular vendors to other shows. I've never been to Hamburg but want to go REALLY bad 'cause I'd love to look at all the hots. Are you looking for something in particular?

Yes, I am, actually.
A good quality female Pastel.
My male is a Joliff line Pastel and is still a high, bright yellow at 2 years and I'd like to find a girl who will not 'brown out'.

I'd love to look at the hots, too.

I can go up on the ridge and find Copperheads and Rattlers if I want but it's really not the same....LOL

I don't know about Hamburg yet but I'm definitely going to NOVA.
At least Outback will be there, for sure.

You'll be able to find a nice pastel no problem. There will always be pastels.
