This is not just about the economics for snake breeders. Has anyone written a letter to Home Depot, True Value, and the like? How many of us shop at home improvment stores instead of pet stores for our reptile supplies? I've known people who had additions added to the house and/or basements finished to make better/more enclosures for their pets. Where does the building materials/experience come from? This would be less income for the construction businesses, too.
And then there are the pet stores, the veterinarians, and so on. State income and sales tax, too. Hotels and restaurants for expos (what hotel and restaurant chains are near the big expos - anyone written to them?). Do any mom & pop type restaurants or other businesses get a lot of business from a show? That would be a perfect "non-herp" person to write in.
