Steel City Expo

The Harmar show is decent, but the Steel City show is way better. Last couple times I've got to Harmar I've come home with nothing, which is a pretty difficult feat for me. Just not a lot of variety anymore.

The Pittsburgh Reptile Show is pretty awesome, however there are a lot of low end dealers there... people with animals that die, people with shotty setups, etc. But there are other awesome people like Paul Wyble (who I believe is with Steel City Reptiles and works at the Steel City Expo).

paul started the name steel city exotics, got with ben and they started the show. and yes, not much about ball pythons that paul doesn't know.

what do you mean by shotty setups? when you walk in the door at cheswick, the first vendor on your right, keeps his snakes on display in many sizes of deli cups, he's been breeding not just keeping snakes for over 35 years. if anyone has a question at the show, They all go to him. even the ones with the nice displays. He can pop a snake without setting his beer down, he is also on staff at the daytona show. yes, their is a vendor there who has a rep for his reptiles not being healthy, If I want something from someone that I'm don't know, ask the other vendors before buying, you will be surprise on the answers you will get.

That wouldn't happen to be Bruckman (SP?) Reptiles? He does seem to know his stuff and when I was there he was showing a crowd how to pop.
