San Diego Reptile Super Show & Anaheim NARBC--Whose vending/attending?

I will most likely be going to these shows. This year my mom and I plan on going out of state for some reptile shows, but only states that are around Arizona because we don't want to travel too far.

For those who are vending--What's your business name & what show are you going to? I would love to stop by and say Hi:)

For those who are attending--What do you plan on purchasing and what show are you planning to go to?

I might also be going to the show in Las Vegas, Tucson show for sure, and a definite for sure I'll be at the Phoenix expo.

I've decided to get a female Pin, male Cinny and either a male or female Lesser.:D At the NARBC show I'm so planning on getting my BPs from Brian (well the BPs I didn't end up purchasing at the Super Show) or any other reputable breeder. Though, most likely I'll be purchasing from Brian.:gj:

I'll be there.

I won't be vending at San Diego, as this is not a good time of year for Ball Python babies for me (I'm practically sold out!).

Anaheim is a great show for seeing more stuff! I'll be vending there....

The Las Vegas one is new, so I can't speak to that one.

There is also one in Pasadena, one in Long Beach, and one in Pomona that I plan on vending at.

Awesome, I hope to meet you as well as any other BP.netters:) I've only been to two shows in Phoenix (2008 & 2009.. this year I'll be there for the 2010) so I really want to see what other things are available in expos since the Phoenix expo is kind of small.

nevermind, I found the calendar

I'll be purchasing some other species besides BPs as well. I'm leaning towards a JCP or some other type of Carpet, a Dumeril's boa male, maybe another Blood, and some other snake I can't state.;)

BUMPer boats:D

By that frowny face, it seems the show wasn't that good last year:P

I'll still go to it no matter how bad it is, or really any expo. Just being around reptiles gets me excited. At the NARBC I'm gonna be too overexcited.. Heather you need to try to settle me down before I turn into a rocket and go through the roof:D:rofl:

I wont be vending at the San Diego show as it is way too early for my season to know whats going on. Maybe vending at Anaheim depending on what we produce. Time will tell;)

I have proof how bad the Vegas show was last year...

If you do end up getting a booth I'll stop by and check out what you got:D

If you go to one show visit Anaheim in September. It's my favorite show, I'll be there vending as I have the last couple years. Tucson is pretty good as well if you want a "local" show.

Well I will be going to some expos in Cali so I'm 95% sure I'll be attending the Anaheim show:)

Since Big Gunns got such a great reception at his last Cali show(total fan mayhem really)....... He'll try and make this one. Better start making your plans now. Get those 5k cameras(needed for BG pics) ready.:D

Anaheim will be my very first vending show -- I just know I have already not planned for/and forgot at least 5 things!!! :rolleye2::taz::tears:

I will be at all the So Cal shows, I will be helping out at the Heather's Herps table!

Hmm not bad:D

I'll be at the show in Anaheim for sure! Possibly the Super Show in Los Angeles.

Ill take the 12 hr drive to San Daygo. I love that place and Ill be back again this year, hopefully buying instead of just walkin around.

We will be vending at the Anaheim show, already got our booth. Just not looking forward to the 15 hour drive! :rolleye2:

Look forward to meeting the Sloans! I need to get my table -- I just called ARS to order acrylics -- out of stock. They said they would have them by Daytona. I was thinking about doing the Super Show Aug. 7th-8th to get my feet wet -- I am a reptile show virgin :tears:

Any plan B suggestions for displays? I am looking for 3 of the complete set 3 tier types. Any guidance would be appreciated.

I have done a Google search, but have the feeling there are great sources that don't appear in the search. Thanks for any help!! :gj:

I will be at the San Diego show and my hubby will be home from Afghanistan just in time to be at the Anaheim show. It's his favorite and I'm super excited about going since I was out of town for it last year. I'm already trying to get a list of what to be on the lookout for and plan on making some purchases :) Hopefully I can meet some of you!

Look Forward to meeting you too Bill!
We use display cases from The BoaPhile, Jeff is a great guy and his prices are very reasonable. They are really cool displays because the dividers in the cases are able to move to different spots so that you can move it to how big the animal is. Heres a link to his displays:YouTube - Boaphile (Part II) Acrylic Reptile Display Set Up Video. He also makes them very fast he made ours in two weeks and we have two sets! They are $500 Shipped Per Set if I remember correctly.

I will be attending both. Super excited as this will be my first year of going to shows. Hopefully getting a female pied and a female orange ghost. And possibly a male or female albino

You are too lucky! I'll be looking for boa morphs and Kenyan Sand boas. I'll be looking for Ball pythons at the NARBC show, but if I find something I like at the SD show I will most likely getting, knowing how I get LOL.

I might also just skip getting anymore snakes and look for some kick ass caging... hmm tough decision, lol

Everything is always a tough decision when you go to an expo. Some people just go to enjoy the show and check out snakes. Last show I went to I said I was only gonna get a Beardie. I ended up getting a Pastel Ball python and my mom got a Pastel 50% PH Albino BCI, which is now my snake I guess. I'm saving up money, so I can get some stuff of my own.

I'm trying to organize everything though, I got too many different things and I just feel so unorganized! I might sell some of my stuff, the stuff I don't need, and I need to try to build some racks.

pretty dead thread here. doesn't seem like too many people are going to be attending from bp.net. I can't wait til Friday to get on the road. I just can't decide what to buy. Stupid expos make it so hard to decide.

This weekend! Didn't think I'd be adding anything this year, but I'll have cash in pocket just in case. Keeping my eyes peeled for pieds, g-stripes, and ivories. Hopefully it's not too early in the season...

I'm here already.....

I just happen to be in San Diego for the weekend (visiting my brother), so we're hoping to attend on Sunday... maybe I'll see a few of you there? :)

Leaving right now to be there today! :)

I will be there Sunday super excited!

Was there for a couple hours today, it was really awsome to see so many different snakes and to drool over all the morphs that i can never afford... lol. But yeah picked up a NERD line pastel male BP and a Hypo Pastel RTB male, going back tomorrow to pick up a rat rack...

I'll probably be there tomorrow (Sunday) from around 2-5pm... so if you see a girl with bright red curly hair & glasses, say hi! If it's not me, however, you may feel like a dork for a second. :D

I went yesterday (Saturday) and wandered around for a bit. It was packed when I first got there, I often had to pause and let people walk by as the aisles were stuffed. A lot of cool animals, and a good amount of ball pythons. Pickings were slim for what I was particularly searching for (ivory, gstripe, pied), but I almost picked up a female genetic stripe for a really good price. Alas, its stripe was not perfect with several breaks, and I ultimately passed. If you're in the market for a co-dom ball, you're gonna get it for a really good price!

I wanted a snapping turtle, but apparently they can't sell them in CA? And yet, hatchling turtles well under the 4 inch rule were being sold... I wanted to buy a hatchling Eastern snake-necked turtle and had decided to make my rounds first, but when I came back it had sold. Oh well, ya snooze ya lose.

My highlight was the indigos! My first time seeing those in person and they are very impressive. I might have to pick one of those up in the future. Good show overall!

I just got back as well, and had a great time! Unfortunately I didn't see any of you (that I know of) while there, but I got to see some awesome herps... I think the highlight was this Panther Chameleon, and a few VERY expensive BP morphs (crystal, soul sucker, etc). I got lots of photos, which I'll post on the forums once I get them uploaded. Oh yeah, and I did pick up a little something - an '08 female Stimson's Python, to go with my boy James. :) She was a holdback that he decided to sell at the show, and I negotiated a fairly good price for her!
