Re: Michigan reptile show
I've been to the Taylor show a few times, probably won't go again unless I'm REALLY bored. I don't mean to insult any vendors there but its usually not worth the drive for me. My wife and I live about 2.5 -3hrs away and its just not that exciting. Its a very small show or has been in the past. Of course we have spoiled ourselves by mainly attending the columbus, OH shows and this last NARBC show which you can't really compare to Taylor. You might have a good time and find some cool stuff, I think it varies we just haven't been impressed that much.

Re: Michigan reptile show
I think the last time I was there...which was probably a year or so now at least...I was turned off because of the lack of BP's...but like I said it varies. If I lived an hour away I'd definately still go, but not going to make a 3hr trip for it every month.
On a side note, my wife and I are planning on attending the new Kalamazoo show that is being started up. That is on the 19th, might be cool to meet some other MI keepers.

Re: Michigan reptile show
I think the new kzoo show is supposed to be annual...not positive its the first one so if there is a good turn out I'm sure it would be continued. Lets all get together and show support for it...we need more MI rep shows!!
We could start a new thread to try and draw people in to see who can go and meet up and what not...don't mean to take away from the original question.

I went a few months ago, and if you are with a possibly captive hatched, wild harvested egg female baby, you might find one for that. I was looking for adult female at that time, and there were none to be had at any price.
It is a pretty small show, but it is only an hour from Toledo. Tell you what, I went to the Fort Wayne show a few months ago to pick up a rack from Jason's Jungle, and I think it was maybe a bit better. It is a two hour dive there, though. Here is a link on that, http://www.fortwaynereptileexpo.com/

Re: Michigan reptile show
Here's the link for the new Kzoo show on November 19th.
http://webpages.charter.net/collison...le%20Show.HTML
Mike and I are hoping to attend if possible. It's a long drive for us but we do really want to meet Alex Hue and Casey Hulse as well as any of the Michigan forum members. I think it's a 30 table show and isn't filled up yet so it may be pretty small but like Heath said let's get out and support any new reptile shows here in Michigan! I read on Alex's site that they just got a rodent vendor so that should be nice to see.
The entrance fee is very reasonable as well as the lunch offered. I sure hope all things considered Mike and I and the kids can get there. The guy that is the breeder for Beth's new albino nelson's milksnake will be there so hopefully she can pick up her female that day too.
