Reptile Show in Iowa

[Jerhart]

Is there a reptile show coming up in November which will be held in Des Moines? I know there is that 3 day event held over the weekend where Dave Barker and various other herpers are to speak, but I cant find anything on the actual reptile sale....such as show times and addmission. I am contimplating on driving down for the day from minneapolis to attend seeings we dont get much for shows up here. On a side note, does anyone know if there are any shows in Wisconsin?

Sorry, Jerhart, you JUST missed the breeder show there.

The Omaha, Nebraska show is this Sunday, though.

Not sure if you want to really call this one a show.I have a few people i know that say this place is like going to a pet store .I even sent for info last year and they stated they have maybe 3 or 4 tables with a few animals each.If you want to travel then i suggest the Indy show at the fairgrounds the last sunday of each month

Joepythons, are you talking about the Nebraska show or the Iowa show? The last Iowa show I was at there were about 30 tables or so. Not a HUGE show but not that small either. I've never been to the Nebraska show so don't know much about that one. At the upcoming one, I'm sure that some of the larger vendors will include Jim Stelphlug, and probably Marc Bailey and Gerrick DeMeyer. I haven't seen a vendors list so I really don't know who else will be there. I think the animal sale should be pretty good, but mainly I'm going there for the list of speakers.

Are they going to have any reptile sales? I have been seeing this but nothin about having a show?

No, the Iowa show was already done like a week or two ago. The symposium is a talk, and NO reptiles will be present. Just pictures.
The next show coming up is the one here on Sunday, and then there's a big Chicago show coming up not too far down the road.

WRONG!!! The Symposium is an entire weekend event with socializing on Friday night, Speakers all day on Saturday, and a Live animal sale on Sunday. I've even got a table so I KNOW there will be live animals there. Some of them will be mine.
