That's still a HUGE list for the first CRBE. :gj:

I didn't hear of anyone dropping out because of this? Anyway... Like Buttons said that is still a HUGE list and I still will not be missing this. ;)

I can't wait.. Less then two weeks away now.

I'll be going for sure... haven't been to a Toronto show since '98.

My only concern/worry is that it won't be just captive bred animals there. I hope I'm wrong, and we'll see when I get there.

Going to spend lots of cash, and put faces to names there, for sure!

Chris

Grr!!! Why do I have to live on the west coast!? :soapbx::heartbrea:rage:

Oh well. :sigh2: I'll find others to attend, eventually. They just won't be on the grand scale of AWESOMENESS that this one is sure to be.

I'll be there.

Won't be going to this one too many other shows to go to i will be going to the calgary show this weekend and i will be going to the BCRC show in Abbotsford at the end of the month sept.26-27/09 . I think there won't be anything at the CRBE that i can't get through websites anyways.

I'll be there.

Nice to see a good handfull of BP.netters coming. :) We're leaving Friday evening.

I will most likely be going to the one in Montreal in October. It's only two hours drive from my new place in Vermont, closest I've ever been to a show so I'd like to take the opportunity to check it out. I am guessing I wouldn't be able to buy anything though? They have to have laws against going to Canada, buying a snake, and then bringing it back in the states.

Transportation across the border may be difficult but I am sure most vendors would allow purchase of the animal, hold and they would ship to you once they get back into the states?

Shipping/importing requires a lot of time, $$ and paperwork to do legally.. Unfortunately. Lots of big name breeders can get the CITES paperwork pretty fast though and usually costs around $100 extra. Don't quote me on this though. :)

as for shipping, i'm in canada and can NEVER EVER find anyone to ship to me, (so many rules regulations restrictions etc) but i've spoke to many breeders who have told me that if i could get the reptiles shipped to a bordertown and then drive down to pick them up, there shouldn't be a problem DRIVING them over the border. don't quote me on it though, you might want to find out from the border patrol or whoever of "them" you need to speak to. if you're coming from afar, maybe flying to the closest city in the states and then doing a car rental to drive from the US to the expo in canada and back might be a good option.

so jealous of everyone that's going to this! i'm going to the BCRC show and sale and i'm afraid there's not gonna be many snakes that i want left!

NO I really wouldn't do this... If border patrol finds the animal without proper verified CITES paperwork the animal will be seized and there is a chance you can be charged.

I wouldn't take the risk. :(

I am hitting it. Brian from BHB is bringing me:

1.1 100% Het Orange Ghost Pair 08
0.1 Normal 09 (Little Bro wants one. Shhhh....... it's a surprise;))

ok, that's why i said don't quote me on it! but i've been told by a few different breeders that there "shouldn't" be any problem driving them across the border. i guess there won't be a problem if they don't find them! what about from US to canada? are the rules as strict?

Hi,

Would you really trust someone else's "shouldn't be a problem" in relation to getting charged with illegally smuggling cites protected animals? :weirdface

Either way I'm going to have to ask you to bear this rule in mind I'm afraid.

no problem, sorry about that. i will for sure keep this in mind.
i was definitely wondering how breeders go about getting them across the border but can't seem to find any good resources. it is kind of disheartening as a canadian that the majority of breeders are in the states!

Hi,

Mostly breeders would either just arrange the cites themselves or use a broker who would arrange it for them I think.

There are still some amazing breeders in canada though.


dr del

i know! i'm blessed to live within 3 hours of henry piorun! fantastic breeder he is, that's where we got our het albinos and BRB's and in november when they hatch i'm picking up a pair of het pieds

Hope everyone has a nice time today/tomorrow. :)

I'll be there today! Hope to take some awesome pictures to share.
