The only Repticon show I have been to was the Charlotte one. In comparison to that one Raleigh is much bigger with a lot more to choose from in the way of variety. I usually use the Raleigh one to pick up supplies, frozen feeders, and aspen in bulk.

The September show usually has a lot more available than the Spring show just because of the breeding season. There is a nice selection of everything reptile. Prices are usually in reason, and the ball python selection has gotten a lot better over the last couple years.

I am a buyer so I enjoy the show. I know some of the vendors get frustrated because there are a lot more people who are coming through to just look and touch what they can. A lot of that comes in because people at the flea market probably see the signs and come in just to look.

Just my two cents.
