Eating in the hide...

I had trouble finding the location too, but if you go to driving directions, it gives you directions to the place.

Unfortunatly for me I had to sell my babies about a year ago. I moved to Orlando from Arkansas for college and they told me i can't have them...but i'm still lurking around this forums :P

OHHH it's at the Ocean Center I know exactlty where that is. So are you definitely going to be there mr veteran?

What about admission?

Here are the rules from the Daytona show as as well as the entry fees, etc. You cannot bring any of your own snakes or any other live animal to this show. While some small, regional shows might allow that not many of the bigger, more professional shows would due to health concerns, etc. Daytona from the pics I've seen is a packed, madhouse and the biggest of the big shows. It wouldn't be a good environment for your snake to be walking through with you anyways.

Visitors:
1) Admission is $10 per person; children six years and under attending with an adult are free.
2) Your Expo wristband must be worn in plain sight and is your pass to all Expo functions Saturday and Sunday. Wristbands cannot be shared or resold.
3) Baby strollers are not allowed in display area.
4) No smoking inside the Ocean Center.
5) No live mammals or birds are allowed inside the Expo.
6) Only official exhibitors are permitted to sell animals at the Expo.
7) All animals must be kept in secure containers.
8) Animals taken out of the display area cannot be returned.
9) If you choose to take reptiles to your hotel, please do so discreetly. Use boxes that are not clear. Many hotels have rules against animals in rooms. If you are discreet and put a “Do Not Disturb” sign on your door, you should not have a problem.

Tha is the rule for vistors.. so im assuming you can bring your herps.. (not mammals) only if they are kept contained? (hence, my fiances purse) But perhaps yo are right about my snake being in that environment for to long.

Thanks for the correction.

Well if everyone is leaving ther pets at home what makes this expo so interesting and why is everyone so excited about it?

Because it is one of the largest gatherings of reptile keepers in the country. Do you really have to take your 'pet' snakes to a show to enjoy it? Actually, I think that even considering to do so is irresponsible on the keepers behalf. The show is a place to 'shop' for new reptiles and a place to interact with people that share a common interest.

I feed my BP in a seperate tub just so if there is any "mess" I can clean it up easier. Not for sure about the pluses or cons as far as aggressiveness goes though.

Peace

Just like with a major dog show you can't wander around with your pet dog from home. These are major breeders with quality stock they've invested years of work in and untold thousands of dollars in their time and the value of these gorgeous snakes.

Heck I have a small collection and I wouldn't let you walk into my snake room with your BP slung around your arm either (don't mean to come off as rude but I'm a stickler for quarantine and disease transmission as most of us are).
