Northwest Reptile Expo

I am going to be attending the Portland Metro Reptile Expo next week, and this will be my first expo. What are some tips for first timers?

Its overwhelming and amazing! Look at each booth, everyone has something different.

solid advice. also if u can, research some vendors before u go. if u are on a budget, leave the credit cards at home. only bring what u can afford in cash.

good luck, have fun and post lotsa pix!

Ill see you next weekend ax. Im going sunday.

I won free tickets for the weekend. I'm trying to get off work on sat so I can go both days.

I went to my fist expo and was not disappointed. The vendors there are very nice and so is the reptile community. I didn't get many photos as I held too many snakes lol

Banana Pastel Lesser female that was for sale

Looks to be a viper boa, part of the Candoia. Great snakes that stay relatively small, 2-3 feet. I have a Solomon Island ground boa who’s super chill. The keeled scales feel way different than most of the smooth scaled pythons and boas.
