It's funny I stumbled upon this because I am wondering the same thing. I am thinking about going to Repticon in MD in October. Have any of you ever been and is it worth the 2-3 hour drive for me?

I have traveled from NY to Ga on the East coast doing shows.
My favorites in order are, White Plains NY, Repticon Baltimore, I also enjoy going to Repticons in NC, Columbia SC and Atlanta.

I think I'll be seeing you at the one in Baltimore. Would you still be willing to take a look at my girl? If so I need to know the best way to transport her and keep her happy for the day.

Whenever I have to take any of mine to the vet I put them into a box with a hot water bottle to keep them warm, always seems to keep their temps ok for me

I was wondering this myself, although I picked this little guy up in the Oaks,PA show, it seemed somewhat drab. There were enough vendors there,but it was obvious the convention center had expected more. I asked around and some of the vendors said storms last year and dwindling numbers are killing that show. So I guess I will have to find more. I'm hoping to get him a mate at the hamburg show,but we will see.

Thank you I will find you. Do you have a booth # yet? I looked into this expo and saw VIP tickets, do you know what those are? I didn't see anything they offered other than early entry, did I miss something? As far as her staying warm. It is about a 2 1/2 hour drive for me one way plus the time I decide to spend at the expo. So this is going to be an all day affair for us. Do you think that is to much for her and how can I keep her warm enough for say at least 8 hours away from home.

Vip ticks will get you in at 9 am instead of 10 am on the 1st day. They are also good for both days of the show. I should be on table 18 or 19. thats where I always at. See you there.

Does Exo Terra have a booth set up there? And if so are the prices better than online? I am just having a hard time parting with $250.00 for the enclosure we want. I will, but if I could save a few bucks I would be happy!!!

Sometimes they do sometimes they dont. But there will be dry goods vendors there as well. You may see something else you like.

Unfortunately for me Brett I'm in Scotland, UK and there was once a show a few years ago, but it was a flop so it was never repeated. We are saving to have a holiday to the US in a few years, maybe we will get dates where we can go to an expo while we are there

Cool thanks Brett, something to look into for summer holidays next year as we would have to make a mini-break of it as they are all at least 5/6 hours drive from us, too far to do in one day
whiteplains is good, i have gone several times. they have it four times year too which is fun. Its mostly snakes, but there are a good amount of lizards compared to hamburg and some other shows. I have only been to whiteplains, so thats my only input.

White Plains is up to 6 next year. Its one of my fav shows to vend at and we are working on moving from the stage to down on the floor.

Never mind, I just saw the answer to my question in one of your earlier posts, sorry. That is just to far for me to go. I will be there for sure next weekend though!!! Looking forward to it.
