Never made the drive to oaks. I frequent Hamburg tho. Pittsburgh and steel city are much closer for me. But neither is big I would go to oaks if I knew it was worth the drive

I know a few people that will be at the Oaks show. Wish I could attend.

Kirk: I googled it. Doesn't seem to be as much vs Hamburg, doesn't even have its own website. If you've attended a Hamburg show and will go to the Oaks show next Saturday please post a comparison. Also, if you are looking for rats, and are willing to drive to Hamburg, then go to the Hamburg site and have a look at the vendor list. There are a few that specialize ln rodents (you will be able to tell by their company names), and at least 1 of them is very near Hamburg so may allow you to visit their facility, especially with a purchase of ​>$30.

They do have a website http://eastcoastreptilesuperexpos.com/
I was just seeing if anyone had been there recently

Been to Hamburg many times , missed the last show there
it's so cramped I couldn't bring my self to drive all the way out there to
Be bumped into and pushed passed tables. Plus there was a jersey show scheduled for 3/18 I was going to attend till it was cancelled . Now I'm kind of ina pinch for some weaned/small rats

I'll keep ya posted

If Outback has my caging done, I'm hoping to pick it up at the Oaks show. I also need stuff from DBD and they'll be there, too.

[paroxysm]

Ok well I'm back from the show and
It was busy , compared to white plains it's
a small room but what show isn't compared to that
Lots of stuff you would expect to see bp's Leos and beardies
Not a lot of variety and only one rodent vendor , which was good for him

it's a 90 minute ride for me
And if I wasn't in need of rats so bad
I probably would not have gone
Don't know that I'll be heading back
Any time soon
over all 6.5 of 10

Good news is I got rats and 2 ball pythons
Female enchi Ghost ( in shed ) and a female lavender Albino
