Reptile Expo questions

not sure if this is the right forum:
ive never been to a reptile expo, but im going to one in san diego in june.

I was just wondering, since i found out that many BP owners got their morphs from these expos, and it seems to be the best way to get a bargain.

Can someone explain the price difference of buying online, and buying from an expo? which is better? does it matter? what questions or signs should i look for?

please and thankies :D :bow:

NO shipping involved.:gj:

so expo is better? bc ive been seeing craaaazy prices (GOOD prices) on some of the BP morphs i've had my eye on. And i wanna know if im gonna be even more WoW'd if i go to an expo, and see the prices there. ive seen pictures of some of the snakes and their prices at an expo and im WoW'd in a bad way =s

no shipping, you know exactly what you're buying, and can usually get a pretty good deal.

Im going there as well, im hoping to get a male spider
was wondering the same hing

Questions I always ask is when they ate last, how often they eat, ask to hold them to feel their muscle tone and look them over.

Often I find people selling bring the shed/feed charts, this helps in telling if they eat on a regular schedule or are trouble eaters and how their sheds go.

Just remember quarantine when they get home if you do pick one up and good luck with finding what you are looking for:gj:

for sure, for sure

i was just wondering because im trying to find a bumble bee, and im looking at breeder sites. i think i find a good bargain, then i see another site has them for a little over half! it's crazy lol:rolleye2:

just wondering if im gonna run into the same situation at an expo.

see u there envy =p

I usually do not buy anything the first day of the show and wait until the second day because most of the breeders drop the prices like crazy trying to move the stuff so they dont have to take everything back. Ive gotten some really good deals that way.

THATS the kinda thing i was also wondering! THANKS

But aren't all the best animals gone by the 2nd day?

I'm not arguing, I'm just trying to figure out which day I should go. (Sac expo)
