They used to have the Florida International Reptile Show every year about a month after Orlando (now Daytona, of course). It was actually a pretty good show, but was sold off, then discontinued.



Different versions of Tampa shows have since cropped up, and there are now shows in nearby cities like Bradenton, Sarasota, and Orlando. None of these shows are really big enough to attract many vendors from out of state, so you end up with 10 mediocre shows instead of 1 good show. They cater more to people off the street rather than serious hobbyists.
