I was at that show too!
Actually, it may be touted as the biggest show in TX, due to size of the location building, and maybe the amount of vendors, but actually, the timing of the show is off-base, in terms of wanting to see a plethora of colubrids. In other words, it is definetely NOT the biggest show in terms of a widespread selection to view. All you are seeing is leftovers from last year, which is not a bad thing, and of course, millions of ball pythons, but it is not like a show in August or September, when so many vendors are just beginning to sell their colubrid babies, thus creating a bigger selection of babies to see.
Even though I have not been to the ETHS show that is held in September down in Houston in a few years, that show alone, from my experience, always has the biggest selection of colubrids for sale, including graybands, for any show in TX. Way more than the Arlington show last month ever has. Again, better time in the season.
When you do see those who are getting rid of colubrids to get ball pythons, it does appear to be the trend following you speak of. Let them do what they do, as they will get burnt out on that, which is all what trends are good for to begin with. It shows substance when you stick to what you REALLY love, not what you think you will make any money at. Then, if you do make money doing what you really love with species you really love, it is a second and added bonus!
But back to the point, I do wish more people would vend at shows that breed alterna, but then again, alterna lovers are different than others, mostly in a good way! haha!!! They really love those animals, as I do!
