Why Do You Go To Reptile Shows?

What is your main reason for going to a reptile show? Just to hang out and see some interesting new animals? Or do you only go for a specific reason, such as always buying your feeders at a show?

If you ask my wife, I want to go to just "look", but I always want to buy something when I go.....;)

I go to see the snakes in person and get my new supply of f/t rats.

Well it depends on the show and the time of year, but I always go to browse and sometimes to buy animals and sometimes to buy supplies. But I always leave with something even if I don't intend to. So now I leave my money home if I don't plan on buying.

Mainly just to chit chat and look at the snakes people have

I go mostly to meet new people to talk reptiles with.

It's a good opportunity to meet other people who are into reptiles. Over the years I've gotten to know a lot of the local vendors, so it's nice getting to catch up and talk animals with other people who share the same interests.

I browse with the intent to purchase. We also have 2 shows a month where I live. Sometimes we go just because we can.

I always go just to see all the pretty animals.
If I plan on buying a specific animal I usually wait for a show but unfortunately this season I'm broke so I'm stuck just window shopping.

I also buy my cricket crystals and crestie food at shows.

So I'm 3 out of 5, i guess. :)
