Going to our first show

[Vypyrz]

-Whatever your alotted budget is, take that in cash. Leave the credit cards and ATM cards in the car, or at home. The shows all vary, depending on how many vendors show up and what they have available. Browse the tables, take some photos, talk to the vendors, and have fun. If you see something that catches your eye, don't think about it for too long, it might not be there when you go back. If you do buy something before you finish browsing all of the tables, there is always a chance that you will find something else that you want just as bad. That's why I said don't take the cards. It's way too easy to blow your budget at a reptile show. And you will catch yourself thinking things like, "Well, if I only eat ramen noodles for the next three days, and I think the car has enough gas to make it to payday, so I don't really need to fill the tank up, and I can put off paying the phone bill for a few days...Oh yeah, I can do this." And the next thing you know, out comes the card, and out goes the budget.
