NC, SC, VA Reptile shows

[MitsuMike]

Ok well I was just wondering who is going to the shows in the Carolinas/Virgina? I am personally going to the Raleigh show on the 2nd of May and was thinking about the one in Richmond on July 25th? Seeing my Bday is the 24th I'm sure I will buy myself a nice present. Also has anyone been to these shows? Good turn outs?
In May I'll be looking for feeders. Shipping kills me. haha
Then in July I will be looking for a nice breeder sized Pastel for the season ahead and probably a female Blue Beauty. Seems like there isn't alot of these snakes going around and I would like to produce to keep their market going. They are WAY to pretty of snakes not to.

I'll be at the Raleigh show in May and the Winston-Salem show June 5.

I've never been, but I've heard the Richmond show is very small. I don't think you could count on getting something as specific and relatively rare as a breeder sized pastel or a blue beauty.

I support your idea about breeding blue beauties though! You are right, they are far too beautiful of a snake. They should be much more common than they are.

A show in WS? Really I have never heard of anything there. Ever been?

That sucks. I know there are shows further north in like Manass or something like that. But that is a 5+ hour drive for me. And idk if it's worth it.
And yea I really want to start my BB project soon. But my male I just got today is only 20 grams!! haha. But he is like 2 feet long just as thin as a pencil I find it funny how different they are compared to the BP's

Also has anyone hear anything about the Columbia show??

The Manassas show is right in my backyard, so I've been several times. It is not very big, and I've heard the Richmond show is even smaller. I would not drive 5 hours to go to the Manassas show. If you ever decide you want to go on a bit of a road trip to a show, I think you'd probably be happier driving twice as far to go to White Plains or Hamburg, which are supposed to be great shows.

Have you looked at Repticon's website? They have a lot of shows in the southeast, and are branching out a bit, so maybe they have some stuff closer to you.

I have been to both the Raleigh and Charlotte shows. I enjoy the Raleigh show, and usually a decent selection to choose from.
