I wasn't able to make it either. Going tomorrow. The show a few months ago I went to I didn't really look around just hung out with the breeder. He gave me a pass to get in.
Yeah you can, I'm new to this as well. Bought my little guy at the NRABC show that was in Arlington this past Feb. not sure I got a great deal but it was a local breeder that I've gotten to know and he's helped me out a lot with questions. There's another show coming June 4th & 5th in Farmers Branch. It's the Repticon so I'll attend that just to see what they're shows are like.
