I have a question about the NARBC

The NARBC will be in Arlington the end of the month and this is probably a stupid question but Iv never been so I don't know.. Is it just a breeder thing or can anyone go? How can I find out more info about it? And help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you in advance Shelby :)

Anyone can go! I've been to the one in Arlington twice, it's a nice show and I'm deeply disappointed that I have to be out of town that weekend...

The show's website located here will have all the information you should need. There used to be cupons you could find that made admission only 12 dollars or something like that, but idk where that is now. Saturday would be the more ideal day to go if you had to pick only one, as all the vendors run out of tanks and terrariums by halfway through the show on Sunday (Holy crap, you can't beat the terrarium prices anywhere, buy one here if you need one).

I highly recommend going, they've got awesome vendors, awesome animals, and it's overall a great time.

Okay thank you so much!! :) Iv been wanting to go but my husband is always out of town just so happens he comes Home the thurs before so I'm stoked. And yes I looked and told him sat would be the day to go.. If we went everyday do you have to pay the $15 every time or just the once for the weekend??

Pay once for access the entire weekend. I also highly recommend the auction Saturday night.

The only thing I don't like about NARBC Arlington is, well nothing, except for the move to September this year which puts it smack dab in the kids football season meaning we won't get to attend in 2 weeks.

Yea that's true. Does mess with the kids school stuff. I don't have kids but we always support our friends kids. Iv never been so hoping this will be awesome!! What are some stuff they do there!?

We just went to NARBC in Anaheim, CA last weekend. It is usually not the biggest show here but was still worth going to. Here is a link to last years show to give you an idea what it is like.

So far got some nice snakes. Didn't watch all of it yet.. Can you bring yours and walk around with it or no??

Usually no, unless you have made arrangements with a specific vender most reptile shows will not allow you to bring animals in

Okay. Gotcha. What do you do with the snake if you buy one?

Some of the vendors will agree to hang onto it until you're ready to leave the show, otherwise you just kind of hold onto it carefully (They all get put into bags or plastic tubs, the only snakes out and about are the ones the vendors are showing off or animals being inspected by buyers). I really recommend checking out every booth! A big chunk of the show is ball pythons, but there are so many exotic lizard, tortoise, and spider species available that it's amazing. I'm not much of a tortoise person, but watching the babies bump around is just the cutest thing. Also there are rack vendors, jewelry makers, every bit of equipment or supplies you could imagine (for cheaper than pet store prices), and of course zoomed's tent is always worth a look.

Oh! nearly forgot, but the feeder booths are really worth some attention. I've got a bearded dragon, and besides for the free food samples they give you (Free crickets or worms of your choice when you walk in the door, plus they'll give you more free bugs if you buy any animals), they also have dubia roaches for sale, GIANT hornworms, literally every other kind of worm you could imagine, crickets in crazy bulk (over 1k), and of course rats and mice. Last fall they had a vendor selling live feeder rodents of all sizes, but I don't think I saw them again in February this year... Still, I got 50 frozen fuzzy mice for 35 dollars, if that's a good indicator of how cheap your supplies can be.

Wow!! Mine only eats live. But I def wanna give it all a look. I want another snake hubby says no. But maybe there we will both see one we like and I can talk him into one [emoji2][emoji16]
Hopefully!! I love my male I want a female. As long as she isn't aggressive lol last one I was around was mean.
