HOLY COW! Talk about crazy....I've NEVER seen so many people at a herp show in my entire 12 years of going to herp shows! I just got back and I'm wiped out from fighting the crowds. It was probably the most crowded herp show you'd ever see....and I promise you that I'm not exaggerating....It was like survival of the fittest....if you saw a herp you wanted....get it and don't wait...otherwise one of the 10 billion other people were gonna buy it. Hopefully it was a good day for the vendors and not just a window shopper experience. I did leave with an unrelated pair of hogs...no...not the boas...the other hogs (hognose)...and I got another eastern chain king.

Anyone else go? I brought my 2 yr old daughter (1st mistake)...her first herp show...AND last! never again....if ya didn't see me there...chances are that I ran into you with my stroller (2nd mistake). Overall..it was fun...but way too crowded to enjoy and talk with vendors. Promoters are soon going to need to hold shows in stadiums or somewhere else that can accomodate a billion-trillion herp enthusiasts.lol

I was there today and you are so right !!! When I pulled up at about 10 am and the line went out of the parking lot and into the street I knew I was in for a fun day. The line was still huge at 2 oclock when I left. I have to say I didn't enjoy the show because of the mobs. If the fire marshall was there he would have shut it down for exceeding capacity !!!!! Just my $.02
