Must have acquisitions from a snake show?

[Snow Balls]

So the big weekend is almost here. The New England Reptile and Gypsy Flea Market Show! So I have a few questions regarding “must haves” from the show. They are as follows;

1) Are vendors allowing their snakes to be handled during these strange times? I’m sure my son will want some.

2) Is frozen prey a better deal at shows or online?

3) Is additional foliage necessary in an aquarium? IE, tree branch, palm leaves etc. My son thinks it looks cool.

4) How to prepare for the 5+ hour trip home? Plastic container with clean towel and a hand warmer or two?

Anything else I’m missing?

Thanks, thanks and a discount double check to y’all.

PS: My daughter wants a bearded dragon so I told her this would be a “research only” trip for her as her brother has read 3 books and planning this for 2-3 years.

1.) It depends on the vendor honestly
2.) Also depends on the vendor, some offer free shipping over a certain amount. But if you are just ordering for one snake then you are better off getting it at the show
3.) As KMG said, you can, some people like it for the aesthetic but it’s not necessary if you have proper hides for the animal
4.) Also as KMG said you can just keep your cab warmer or have your kids hold the snake
