Re: NC, SC, VA Reptile shows
I've been to the Raleigh show numerous times. It's always fun, but parking can be a bear due to the other shows going on.
Conrad Wernett, from Too Fast Reptiles, is a local breeder that always has some Blue Beauties that he has bred. He'll probably have some yearlings there from last summer. He's always at the Raleigh show. I got one from him 2 years ago and it is doing good...always hungry and cruising around during the day. You can look his myspace page up, I don't think he has a regular website any longer.
The Richmond show was OK when I went, it was a bit small but had a good turn out so it was pretty crowded. Some nice animals the day I went and it's usually only one day, Saturday.
The Repticon in Charlotte is pretty good too, about the same as the Raleigh show. Only been to that one once.
The Repticon in Columbia, SC (June 19 & 20) is the biggest one around that I have been too. They allow Hots there so you can see some cool stuff there from Cobras to Copperheads, Rattlesnakes and Gila Monsters.
