I live about 10 minutes from the show. Honestly, I wouldn't drive that far to see it unless I really, really, really needed something that I couldn't get any other place. I skipped it myself this past show because my rats are breeding like....rats, and I didn't need to pick up any feeders.
Good things are that if you need f/t Rodent Pro is there all the time. If you need live feeders get there early because they sell out quick. (psst--the guy against the far back wall usually has good prices for small ball python sized live rats) The snake selection varies. I have bought exactly one snake at the show, and that was Darth Jackass and because I felt sorry for him. You see the good, the bad, and the ugly, just like I figure that you do at about any reptile show. But I have seen some nice looking ball pythons there.
Bad thing is that it is kinda small. The aisles are too narrow for a good flow of foot traffic. A lot of the stuff is the same heating pads, bowls, etc, that you could pick up at one of the chain stores and they aren't cheap enough to justify driving five hours to pick up.
