Hi everybody, i have seen that a bunch of you guys are from IL or the surrounding area, are any of you planning on going to the NARBC trade show in tinley park in the beginning of october???? I am from connecticut and only been to the New York Reptile Expo once which was small at the time, but i am looking forward to going to one of these massive ones. Im excited!

There have been a couple of threads already asking this question.. just do a search and I'm sure you'll find them!

I am going, and quite a few others from here will be there too. It's a great show.. I went there last year.. and came home with 10 snakes.

i'm planning on going as well. don't know too much about who's going to be there, both from here and breeders. pretty interested and i'm sure i'm going to come home with another ball. ahh i need make a rack for my little snake room i'm setting up. shelby, or anyone else that has gone before, any can't-miss breeders there? i'm definitely a newbie so i'd love a heads-up.

If you take a look at www.kingsnake.com, it has all the shows listed.If you click on the vendors list after you click on the Tinley show you can view the list.I think they have the shows listed here on the home page also at the bottom.I am unable to go yet again this year .

Cool.Now another show i recommend is the Indy show at the fairgrounds its the last Sunday of each month.I do not recommend the show that used to be the Streamwood show even though it moved now.I know every show has the good vendors with the bad,this show is just to many bads .Majority of the vendors are pushing there non eating half dead garbage wild caughts as CBB and its sad.If you want anything thats Illegal in Illinois this show is the place to buy it then lol .

think i was there the last time it was held in the old location. saw some caimans and some other things i've never seen in person before.

Anyone going from the Milwaukee area? I want to go and am willing to drive if someone wants a ride. Let me know!!


Peace!

On that note: Anyone coming from the Chicago area by Lincoln Park? Doubt it but yeah I'll be driving and if anyone needs a ride. BP.Net=Teamwork lol.

Well, NERD will be there. Can't beat them for ball pythons. I think Bob Clark will be there again too.. there's a lot of big name breeders there.

I went to the reptile swap (that's the streamwood show) several times.. I thought it was a lot of fun, you just have to be careful when you buy.. just like at any show.
