Probably will be a lot of normal balls but not much else.

I have been to this show before and there are a lot of ball for sale. If you are going to buy morphs I suggest you go on Saturday and get there pretty close to when the doors open or just soon after as that is when the morph pickings are at their best. They get snatched up pretty quickly.
Have fun. I'll be there tomorrow.

i have been a vendor at this show a few times. jeremy the guy that puts on the show and his wife are gracious hosts. in the past there has not been very many ball python breeders selling animals.

if you live close it's a nice show to go to, but don't expect to see very many high end bps.

Went to the show today. Whew!! I never saw so many people in one place. I did not get to see everything because of the crowds. I saw a couple baby balls. Lots of Leo Gecko's. 2 dumeril boa's, lots of corns (no high end) a few hondo's, a couple sand boa's, one rosey boa and more than a handful of kings.

Also saw around 50 bearded dragons, a couple B&W tegu's, scorpions, toads, frogs, torts and a couple tarantula's.

Keep in mind this is only what I could see amongst a bajillion people and strollers.

There were hardly any ball pythons and I was told by one of the promoters of the show it was due to a breeder selling all of their 06' babies at 25-50% off at a recent show. So, as a result, a majority of the vendors at the sac. show did not bring their ball pythons. There were a couple of vendors though that did have some morphs: Constrictors of Rocklin had their Albino, Mojave, Spiders, Bumblebee, and some pastels. EBV had a few pastels as well. If you are a BP lover the show (IMO) was not worth it.
