"Part of me wishes that we as an industry would crack down on the unscrupulous dealers who have tables full of emaciated animals covered with mites at herp shows. Gives the whole hobby a bad name. "

When a monthly show was started in SE WI last spring, the first two shows had
several "unscrupulous dealers who have tables full of emaciated animals covered with mites". The other vendors refused to take tables near these dealers for fear of contracting mites or diseases. As a result the show host could not sell tables near these dealers and eventually banned them from the show due to complaints from the other vendors. I guess the lesson here is if you band together and turn some screws, you can get results.
