    What Is The Largest reptile Expo In AZ?
    I guess my subject title says it all.

    Does anyone know? We went to the Tucson show here (where we got Mr. Biggles for $50.) and it was pretty good...but what is the largest show? My guess would be the Phoenix area, of course.

    Thanks again gang! Looking forward to the replies!

    Yes to both. They had a nice selection. Like any show, if you want selection, go early during the show dates. If you want a bargain, go during the last half of the last day of the show - particularly the last few hours. Most vendors were slashing prices by 50% or more. I feel it was worth it.

    To the best of my knowledge the "largest" show is the Tucson show. There is a lot of the "same stuff" but it is great to see it all. If you are going for a specific type of animal, you will have a good selection.
    The Phoenix show that was at the fairgrounds last fall was much smaller than Tucson but still had a nice selection of different stuff. There is another one coming up in April (East Valley) that has a good amount of vendors on the list.

    In my opinion, it is difficult to draw out of state vendors to the Phoenix area due to the economy. I know that it is tuff all over but here in Phx the spending habits of people in the hobby here are really tight. It takes a lot of effort & time to put a show together and not knowing how successful it will be can keep a lot of people from trying. I would never want to tackle this task!
