Doing Some Research...Chicago NW Burbs Reptile Store

I'm trying to get a feel for the demand for an all Reptile Store/Breeder in Chicago's North West Suburbs (Schaumburg, Roselle, Bloomingdale area). I'm wondering if others are having issues with the lack of suppliers and fun places to hang out in the area.

Also, what would others in the community be looking for in a Reptile Store?

Any and all input, suggestions, opinions, and ideas are welcome.

(I currently shop at the all animal expo (bi-weekly) and a small pet store in Streamwwood, CRH in Orland Park is a little too far for regular visits)

I'm in St. Charles, and there really aren't too many places in the nearby that specialize in reptiles that I'm aware of. I hit up the all animal expo all the time and that is where I try to get my supplies from, otherwise I purchase stuff online when I can't wait for the next show. I do frequent a shop in town called Critters, but they don't usually have much of a selection. Though I have seen numerous T's, scorpions, frogs, occasional BP's and sometimes RTB's. Last time I was there they had a Uro, BP, Iggy, and a CWD. I wish there was something out here that specialized in exotics!

i live out in saint charles too and ya i will also go to the all animal expo every time it comes to town. but other than petco petsmart and critters there really is nothin. that would be cool if there was a shop that specialized in exotic animals.
