Ok..so were going to Daytona for the first time ever this year,( flying down from DE )and I wanted some tips/advice from those seasoned Daytona veterans. I have a lot of questions too....1.Is the Saturday night auction good n worth going to? 2.Are there a lot of T vendors? 3.What are the prices like for stuff there(including animals) 4. Are a lot of big names there? 5. Is there a lot of rare stuff there? 6. Which of three days is best n why? 7. Is there a good bit of gift type herp stuff - tshirts, jewelry, statues, etc? Anything you could give me would help. Im also excited to meet anyone thats going, so let me know so we can meet

1. Saturday night auction is one of my favorite parts of the Daytona show! They have a lot of cool stuff up for auction and it goes for a good cause.

2. I'm not sure on T vendors, I always kind of skip over those tables.

3. I would say prices are pretty good! You can snag a lot of great deals and people are usually willing to bargain.

4. It's been a good mix of bigger names and some more local vendors.

5. I do see more "rare" stuff at this show vs others I go to.

6. Saturday is best for seeing all the animals (before they get sold) and the auction is a lot of fun!

7. I've bought a good amount of Herp related trinkets from different vendors and at the auction!

Unfortunately a lot of the big names stopped coming a few years ago when the Florida laws were passed regarding the big snakes, but there are still a ton of vendors and still a few of the big names show up (I believe BHB is one of the few if not only vendors that has been to every one).

I agree, the auction on Saturday night is a blast!
