The show is in Indianapolis, we attended the last one in August. The kids are definitely excited. My son can be kind of timid and he had been talking all summer about snakes and trying to catch one at our house. I honestly figured he would be too scared of one so I took him to the last show and my daughter tagged along as well. They both loved them and each wanted one. I told them to wait so I could make sure they didn't lose interest and have time to learn what they are getting into. I had to convince them we need to start with one to see what we are getting into. They have paid for everything their selves and are paying for the snake. Time will still tell if it will be their or mine this time next year, lol. I've had birds and fish but this will be our first reptile.
