Reptile shows?

[cschneider]

I have been to the Columbus show a few times. It's decent, but I am interested in maybe traveling to Lexington KY, Morehead KY, Noblesville IN or Indianapolis IN for their shows. I live close to Cincinnati OH, so all of these are about 2 hours from me. Has anyone been to any of these shows? Looking to see how good they are before I make the trips, or if they are bigger than the columbus show. I'm looking for larger ball pythons, 700g and up. In particular, het pied pairs or a good female match for my male bumble bee to breed next year, and I have had no luck finding pied or het pied at columbus shows. Any info would be much appreciated!

i havent been to any shows yet cuz their arent any near me. but im pretty sure u can get het pieds from BHB and royalconstrictordesigns but they may all be younger than what u want

Yeah I personally haven't bought a bp off of the internet before. I like to hold them and inspect them before buying. I also like to get a sense of their temperament. I'm not against buying online at all and have thought about it, but since there are so many shows within a few hours from me, I would prefer to do it that way. I wish they had a show in Cincy!

you can also try your luck online. kingsnake is a good source for finding good ones.

I haven't been to the Indy show in a few years. The last time I was there it was just a so so show. I visit the Wheaton all animal expo every month in Chicago. In Oct is the big show at Tinley Park. That is a definate show to make it to if it's not too far from you. I have wanted to go to the Indy show again but haven't had time to do it. If I do go I will let you know. I have heard Noblesville is not a good show at all. That is just what I have heard though. I have never been to that show. If you are in Ohio look up Special K reptiles. I have bought a few snakes from Tim and they have all been really good prices and nice looking snakes.
