No. You are not allowed to bring animals into the show, even if you purchased the animal at the show and walk out the door for 10 seconds. They will not allow you to bring them back in. Only vendors are allowed to bring animals in.

Do you have any idea why they made that rule?

Vendors pay lots of money for setting up. Is it fair to vendors for someone to sell animals that do not have a table? This recently happened to me a my local show. I had a buyer interested in one of my chondros because he could not find a carpet python. A guy walked by with a carpet that he had brought in and sold it right in front of my table. I will be discussing this with the show promoter soon.
Not to mention, if someone brings a sick animal in, or something with mites, it can easly become out of hand. It can happen anyway, but it reduces the risk of contamination. I fully support the rule in every way and I am not a vendor in Daytona. This show is very costly to set up for, and it would not be fair to vendors if any Joe Schmoe could walk in and sell animals.
I hope that all made sense. lol.
