    i went early morngi on the one show i been to so far I got my ablino and a pair of het axanthic ( jol line) but I loved it idid a walk around first to see every thing and then 2 more looking and trying for deals. The draw back is that the show was only a single day and small so it not like i could see a entire lot of different snakes, plus being on disablity really limits my purcashing power.

    Definately the end of the show, but that's for me. I look for the deals. Dealers begin to slash prices drastically to reduce inventory. Our guy was slashed $150 when we got him, and it was during the last hours of the show. We watched as some vendors began knocking 50% or more off prices during the last hour.

    If you want selection, show up early. If you want ganga deals, go towards the close.

    THANK YOU for this thread! I've been debating about this for months... I still have a few months left, actually. I'm going to the Sac expo.

    I am conflicted, though. I gather, from what everyone's said, that morning of the first day is for the higher quality animals, last few hours is for the good deals. When I go to Sac, I want one of two things, depending on what I can find; a Suri RTB (either gender, any age) or a female breeder pastel BP. I'd want a top-notch Suri, but a deal on a pastel. :(


    Anyways, thanks so much everybody for the info, this has helped me a TON.
