Richmond Reptile EXPO

Anyone here going to this? I've been waiting a few months and i'm getting excited for sunday.

I'll be there, probably early around 11 or so. That show is better earlier, most of the vendors pack up and put things away as the day goes by.

Really? Then I guess i shoud plan on getting there a bit earlier.

Where is it? Haha, sorry, I don't think it's near me though.

Richmond Virginia.

i'll be there too!:carouse:

how big is the show compaired to MARS? I want to go but i dont want to be disapointed because i would have to drive about 2 hours to get there. How many vendors are they going to have? Thanks.

it is smaller than mars. smaller than the northern va show in manasas. are you looking for something specific?



vaughn

thanks. i am not looking for anything specific just wanted to go and check it out. i think i am just going to wait until either the manasas show or MARS.

to be honest, if i lived in md. i wouldn't drive to the richmond show. havre de grace,manasas,mars are all bigger shows with similiar vendors. i'm only 20 min!



vaughn

ok thanks. i am going to wait on the manassas show or MARS. Havre de grace is 2 hours from me as well.

What can i expect to be there? I've never really been to a expo beore.....

there is a little of everything. frogs,boas,pythons,geckos,turtles,colubrids,inverts,etc

You can find some good deals here and there. There's a couple good vendors for Leopard gecko morphs, cresteds, and various turtles and tortoises that you'd otherwise have to get shipped to you. I'm mostly just looking and shootin the blank with some friends and vendors there, maybe look out for some odd-ball normal females.

I'm thinking about picking up a leopard gecko accually. Any idea how cheap they'd be?

Its a good show for Leos. There's a couple tables with high end morphs, there's also Bruckman Reptiles, which is where I got my 1.2 trio from. He's got normals and all of the base morphs, nice prices too.

Pretty slow show today....at least for ball morphs. Pretty much was just whatever was left over from '05. Lots of people and not enough vendors...

yea it wasn't bad. it was really fun.

I talked to Brian Sharp a little bit...seemed like a nice guy.....mentioned some of the stuff he's cooking up this year. He said that this year is going to be an exciting one for new designer combos!
