We have a winner!

Thanks for your very kind offer DB. I hadn't thought about Repticon. It's not a bad idea at all but I tend to avoid reptile expos. I'm always worried I'll come home with mites. Do you have a trusted supplier at the show? I was looking at the vendor list and saw a company called feedersource.com . I haven't used them before and their prices are a little higher than I'd pay at Perfect Prey. So even with shipping, which is usually only $30, I'm not sure how much coin I'd save. On another note what part of town are you in? I'm in Cobb Cty. We should link up sometime.

No special contacts, I just know there are always people selling feeders there. Looking at the vendor list I see feedersource.com, not sure if anyone else will be selling feeders but last year I only remember seeing one feeder booth right inside the front entrance. I had thought micedirect was going to be there also because they're located in Georgia but I guess I was mistaken on that point - it was more of an assumption on my part than any actual evidence I'd seen. And yes, feedersource does seem to have higher prices than perfectprey or micedirect (both of which appear pretty comparable). Don't know if they run any special prices for shows or not.

I wasn't originally planning on going to Repticon. The original plan was to go to the much bigger Daytona show but then I found out my parents are going to be coming to town that weekend to see our family and my sister's family. It's mostly to help her move to a new house but I kind of have to be here too. The only thing I *might* be able to do is go to Daytona on Saturday and then drive home that night arriving very late but that's kind of stretching it. Repticon is a minor consolation prize at best but I figured if I was going anyway I could pick up feeders and browse around.

For mites the advice I've heard is to immediately strip down when you get home, take a shower, and put the clothes directly in the washer.

If the feeders are going to be significantly more (eating up the shipping savings) then it may not be worth going as I'm not expecting to buy any animals. Let me think on this a bit and we can take the discussion to PM.

Location - I'm in Marietta which should be pretty close, off of Allgood road.
