Herp Shows?

Every time i look on here it seems like someone has just bought a new snake or herp of some sort from a reptile show. I was wondering how everyone finds out about them, and where i can find out about them so i can go. Thanks in advance.

I don't belong to any herp societies (best way to find out!)

so I just google stuff like 'reptile expo' and 'reptile show' and see what happens :)

Look up at the top between Members List and Shop!...click on the Calendar and you should see all sorts of listings there with links to the various shows.

Found this one for you. I don't know anything about this show or the people that put it on but here's the link...

FYI the calendar is good, but it doesn't have everything on it :)

I believe they have repticons in VA all the time.... Well i hope you get to go to one....

If you know of shows that aren't listed, then by all means add them and a link to the show on the calendar. :)

thanks everyone

i also would like to know about how you all feel about the quality (word choice) of the reptiles there... im looking for a columbian boa and i was wondering if i should have any worries about the quality of the animal

The thing about shows is there are many different vendors with different quality reptiles so you should check them all out but there isn't a set quality to any expo

do you think i would be better off buying from my local pet store?

IMO petstores aren't always the way to go. I would only turn to them if you can't find a good breeder. That's the reason I'm waiting 'til Nov to get my first snake. I'd rather find a good breeder at an expo then chance a poor quality petstore snake, which would probably be WC.

does anyone know of a good breader in the Northern Virginia, Maryland area for redtail boas... preferably columbian
