    1) last time i went it was about a 20 min wait but i got there at 8 am. which is a good idea because by noon. good luck getting close to a booth it was packed.

    2) as for a discount. there are so many cheap things there. except for the beautiful snakes of course. but feeders and equipment were dirt cheap.

    3) i payed cash only. i know a bunch of booths had a cash only sign up too. but there may be some one with a wireless interac machine.


    whats the date for the next one it has slipped my mind.

    I recommend you bringing cash to Mississauga. I went fairly late the last time I went so there wasn't a line up for me.

    yeah i think there is very few who accept debt or visa. and if you go at 9 when it opens the most you will probably have to wait about 20 mins they get you in pretty quick.

    thanks for the info. next expo is this sunday june 14th. someone told me it was like 50% off live stock lol! knew it was too good to be true. guess u would save a few bucks by not getting it shipped to u from breeders across canada.

    50% off, perhaps, if comparing it to rediculous pet store pricing. But once you become accustomed to non-pet store prices the deals aren't necessarily as astonishing. There will definitely be some vendors who have good prices on stuff and there are those "deals of the day" to be found, but they're not bargain basement prices.

    Most vendors only accept cash. Only two or three that I've ever noticed take anything but. Most just simply aren't equipped for it and it makes no sense economically.

    Lines vary depending on the time of day. It's usually longest first thing in the morning, but there are sporadic rushes throughout the day.

    I personally wouldn't expect this expo to be huge. Most vendors are saving a lot of their good stuff for the first Canadian Reptile Breeder's Expo in September. But you'll likely see a lot of babies of nearly everything and some left overs from last year.
