Meet up for Daytona Expo

[ReptileJenna]

I could be wrong here, but I believe the only tanks usually at shows are the vision style and maybe some other higher quality cages. Don't think you normally see cheaper tanks (10g) etc at shows.

Yeah, I thought they wouldn't be selling it, but I saw at one of the (I think it was Orlando?) shows a few tanks for sale at decent prices. However, I was to busy drooling over 20,000 dollars ball pythons to pay attention to any supplies

As far as needing a tank for a BP, I'd advise you do something different in the set up, but if you're dead set on a 'glass' tank, get one with the sliding locking lid PLEASE. We don't ever want to see "escaped snake! omg!" threads if we can prevent it. The lids that just set on top are infamous in escapes. Yes, the 10g tank at Walmart is much cheaper, but it'll cost you way more if the snake escapes and you end up replacing it or having it need a vet visit.

Thanks for the warning. No worries though, I use the regular tanks for weaker, more calm, species of herps. For snakes, I tend to only use Zilla or other locking tanks if I'm not using some sort of rack system.

Jenna, if you don't mind putting in a little elbow grease to clean them. local reptile shops will usually have used tanks for cheap

I appreciate the recommendation.

Sadly, I live far away from most reptile and animal shops that are not one of the big chains. I'm still kind of new to the area too. However, I'd be willing to make the drive. PCR sounds like a good place to check out. Also, I think Petco is having a sale on zilla cages, and I remember some other tanks for sale that will work.

Other questions if people feel like answering:
1. How early people actually start lining up? Like a good estimated time. I'd be willing to get there at 6:00 A.M if it means I'm first in line, ha ha.
2. What is the, "Symposium at the Hilton Exo Terra" or the "Reception" like or about?
3. Is the auction at the Hilton any good?
4. Should I even attempt negotiating prices?
