Expos usually have a list of vendors posted ahead of time: After I picked out the reputable breeders in advance, examined their websites and feedback, and set my budget---my normal questions are:
1. Can I hold it? (then examine the specimen for abnormalities/mites)
2. What is he/she eating?
3. When was the last time he/she ate?
4. Is that price firm?
5. Can I get a discount if I buy more than one?
If I see a price tag that is unusually low on one I am interested: I will ask: 'That is a good price...is there a reason why you aren't charging more?' (usually there will be one). Of course I have also had them forget the 'zero' on the price. That $400- should read $4000-...![]()
