Lone Star Reptile Expo Arlington, TX

So who's going to the Lone Star Reptile Expo in Arlington, TX on July 28-29? I know I'm excited and the dates can't come faster enough. I'm actualr planning on buying my first ever herp there, hopefully a Pastel BP. Any of you breeders out there going to be vendors there, possibley with a Pastel BP?

Also, just for fun for people going, what are you trying to find here at the show to buy? Interested in anyones ideas.

I wish I could make that one! I'm moving that weekend. However, I'm planning on going to North American Reptile Breeders Conference in August 25th and 26th (there's a chance I can't go, so I'll probably go when they come back in February). I'm also thinking about going to Repticon in either Ennis (October 13th and 14th) or Houston (Nov 17th and 18th). I'll be looking for a male/female pair of ball pythons. Ideally I would like a double het albino/pied pair, but I'll take an albino het pied or a pied het albino or a pair of both (I want to breed some nice albino pied babies in the near future). I'll also be looking for a plasma or lavender (ideally a hypo lavender motley) male corn snake and probably a low-orange classic female corn snake. If my friend ends up going with me, she'll be looking at chameleons.

Aizkora and I will be there! I don't know when though. We're looking for female normals that are breeder sized, but I don't know if we're going to buy this weekend or not.

Ill be there, and possibly be getting my first snake. I'm looking for either a hog island boa, kenyan sand boa, or ball python. Iv'e been researching them all for the past year and cant decide what to get. Definitely leaning towards a ball python.....if only they were reliable feeders then the decision wouldn't be so hard.

Sorry if I sound like a noob... I am lol. Is this supposed to be a big show? If it is, I definitely want to go. I live in Dallas.

Not too big of a show but it gives you plenty of options for a small show. I went earlier this year to this show/location and was kinda upset about the size but it offers a good variety. However, I dont remember what their ball selection was like. I remember lots of piebalds but at the time I wasnt really looking for one so I could've overlooked them all.

Do they have a decent selection of racks and tanks too?

I will be there. I will be stocking up on frozen rats if anyone has them. If not I'll see what other supplies they have. Definitely don't want to come home with another snake...husband would kill me dead. :rolleyes:

I might go to that one but I am way more excited about the NARBC on Aug 25 in Arlington!!

YAY! I convinced my friend to go with me to the NARBC in August in Arlington. I'll go there hopefully to get me a pair of adult corns to breed next spring. I also want to look at frozen rats. I want to switch my ball to rats instead of mice to put some meat on her...but the smallest rat the pet stores sell are a small rat. Fluffy only needs rat pinkies since she's so teeny. I use an online rodent company to bulk order my rodents, but I don't want to buy a bunch of rats if she won't eat them so I'll be looking for some to try on her. If she'll eat them, then I'll bulk order when I order the rest of the mice I'll need. So excited!

Is it supposed to be big? What is it exactly?

I wanna edit my previous post... I just did a google search... Looks legit

I will be there, probably both Saturday AND Sunday.

It isn't the biggest snake show, but very exciting none the less to see all the different kinds reptiles. And of course I know I will come away with one again.


See my post in the Selling section on this forum, I will deliver ASFs if I get any orders.

(Slightly off-topic) Do you live in the DFW area? Because one of our babies is on a hunger strike (we're hoping it's because he only wants white mice), and I'm worried that we're going to need to try ASF's in a few weeks to get him to eat something, but we don't know of any ASF breeders in the area. So while we don't need any this weekend, if you're close we might be able to work something out later this month. :)

Well decided I am for sure going tomorrow.
