Cool thread.....
I'd like to see more educational booths too. Not just for kids, but some designed for adults too. As far as animals, I'd like to see more rare colubrids - specifically drymarchon and hognose (not that either of those are "rare," just that they are more rare at shows - at least around here).
I would like to never again see the puppies and kittens that are piled into crates and lugged along to a reptile show. The reptiles are in great shape (mostly), but puppies and kittens should never be for sale at an expo. Talk about impulse purchases and an unprepared owner......
One additional thing I'd like to see changed at the expo I usually go to, is wider aisles. While I'm glad to see them busy, it's nearly impossible to move around. And the thing is, they have the room to expand. The expo is in a trade center so all they'd have to do is move the fence which creates one "wall" over by, say, 50 ft and it would allow the aisles to open up a lot more. Makes me a bit mad that they don't do that - the trade center isn't using the space, so why the heck not???
