Help!

When going into a reptile expo and going to sell something what do you put the animal in?

I've never done it but I would guess a deli cup with holes and a piece of moist paper towel on the bottom...

You put it on your PAID FOR TABLE, generally.

Most shows do not allow the general public to bring their animals to the show and market them, so you better check first to be sure it's allowed.

If they do allow you to bring animals(a la swap meet), a deli cup with holes and bedding/paper towels works very well. If it is larger, or more vigorous, you may want to bag it in a reptile bag and zip tie or knot the entrance.

Yea I went there and seen a bunch savs getting sold cheap and burms. Could you sell your reptile to a breeder?

That really doesn't matter. As I said in your previous thread you need to make sure your expo allows you to bring in animals without paying a vendor fee. Most will not allow you to make trades, you need to check with your expo.

Those selling Savannah Monitors and Burmese Pythons were most likely to be vendors/paid a fee in order to sell the animals.

And many breeders might not be looking for whatever you are trying to trade/sell, and expo might not be your best option.

What are you trying to sell and why? I am not sure that you will be successful in what you are trying to do here.

Not having a vendors fee seems very unlikely to me. What is the expo you were thinking of attending?

Also, selling a normal adult male leopard gecko would be quite hard. No breeders are really in the business to be purchasing adult male normals, as they aren't nearly as valuable as a morph or a normal female, where hets could be produced from breeding. I find it hard for you to end up trading a adult male leopard gecko for some babies/morphs from a trader.

Why not just keep the gecko?

How long have you had the gecko, and how big is he now? I'd also like to know what show does not have a table fee for vendors.

Cant sell him any more , prolapse...

A prolapse is usually easily fixable by a vet if the animal is seen ASAP, and once healed there is no reason why you couldn't sell him if you still wanted to.
