May 27th, Master Card Center Toronto Canada we are having a pretty decent show with an auction :P come up here for the weekend!

hmm I dont know how what my mom would say when I told her " Hey there is some guy on bp.net I have been talking to thats coming to stay the weekend to go to the reptile expo. Hope thats ok!"

haha! yeah, i dont think that'd be good :oops:

i'm sure there are places to stay there

Yah hotels usually are cheap around there only one night for a hotel or motel your only looking at like 60-80 for a night

sounds like a fun road trip :)

thanks Mike!

I dont have any intention to actual go but if i hypothetically did go to the toronto show and bought an animal would i legally be able to bring it back to the US? Arent prices more expensive there anyways?

Im not sure mike im gunna do some research to see what can and can not go over border.

I think this forum thread pretty much covers it

Also it looks like you can buy in canada and then get reptile express to ship them to you.

Shipping costs more money and i think animals tend to be priceier up there already. Not that im saying i would do it but... hypothetically what are the chances that id get caught if i just bought a snake and drove back with it? Do mounties really have time to search every car that comes across te border back into the US? Ive never been to Canada so idk how it works tbh...

mounties?? Those guys are like way up north and to the left lol there are no mounties here. Just border patrol. I dont even think they have guns. I would not at all recommend smuggling animals across the border but they dont search every car its pretty much lets see your passport ok cool go through the gate type deal. Its not like it would be hard to hide a snake in a car anyways. If you were really that desperate. For prices I dont think there is much of a difference. You are not gunna find anything to rare up here either pretty much the same for snakes but there are some rarer reptiles you will find here.

Here is a store that i really trust they have a good list of ball pythons you can compare prices to what ever you go by in the USA.

Nonono, like i said im not planning on doing anything illegal but if i went up there and found a snake i loved then i would be disapointed if i couldnt bring it back.
But yea, good to know that they dont really care lol...

Yes expos are great. I always work the sellers down about $20 or so on what they are asking. We are having some theft problems though like at the woodbine expo in feb. someone stole a ball python worth well over $1000. The breeder was offering a $1000 reward alone.

Unfortunately that happens at expos here as well.
