    Biggest Expo

    I was wondering what expo is the largest? Since i live in Texas im kind of far away from those east coast extravaganzas. my dad said it would be Ok to go to one big one mabey every 2 years or so since our family homeschools. I think it would be Tinley Park or Daytona beach from what Ive read but i would rather go to the biggest or better quality one. I just wanted to make it worth the trip.

    I went to the Tinley show this year and it was amazing...It was a couple months after getting my first snake so it was kind of overwhelming to see all the different snake morphs, insects and amphibians

    Re: Biggest Expo

    I've never been to the Tinley show but I went to Daytona this past August. It was a ton of fun with all of the big breeders, meeting people, seeing the awesome animals (and even getting one), and playing on the beach. haha The beach was extra fun due to the fact that there was a hurricane nearby and it was stirring up the waves Super excellent quality show, nice people, cool animals, and fun why wouldn't you go? As mentioned before, it really does take both days to see everything. They also had an auction (at which I won a bunch of real fangs) and some speakers about different things (history of herpetoculture, turtles, etc.) at night so once the expo was closed, there were still things to do! Also, if you have extra time, you can see all of the nascar stuff because it is very close by. Right next to the hotel they have a waterpark/go karts/minigolf/arcade which was also fun. Best expo/vacation I have been to/on in a while! DAYTONA!

    Re: Biggest Expo

    I have not been to either show but I plan on going to Daytona. The past two times I've wanted to go, I've had to miss it. But I might drag my sister along with me and go down to Florida for a few days. Might drag the hubby along too. I've seen pictures of Daytona and it just looks amazing. I can't wait!

    I think you're guaranteed to have a great time at either Tinley or Daytona. Never been to Daytona but I live about 15 mins from the Tinley show and it's been awesome the past two years!

    Where did you get this information? I heard Daytona was going to be Aug 20-22, 2010. If your talking about 2009, they had it Aug 21-23. Was a fun time. Good to meet the Big Dogs of the industry.
