Agree - you can find great deals, good breeders, see what you're buying up close (as opposed to internet or other remote ordering). Good deals also on enclosures, grapevine, substrate (if you use) hell you name it. If nothing else it is great to go and just look and talk with folks who share our common fascination.

Radford, eh? Man I killed a TON of brain cells over that way when I was going to VaTech - ya'll throw a mean halloween party!
