While it may not be the show it was 5-10 years ago, idk wasn't around then, this weekend's show was the best I've seen them do in the 2 years I've been going... and yes, I do go to every one.
Maybe not a lot of 09 balls, I'm sure there's plenty still hatching.
Limited selection of higher end... ok, but really who's buying higher end stuff right now? There were plenty of base morphs available, and even some of those weren't moving.
Unfortunately just a sign of our poor economy, the ball market is in a real slump this year. But for a buyer with money, you can get some great deals there.
I did see some nice high white pieds, a juvie clown, bee, and you couldn't miss the pastel calico!
Reptile Show... while we all love balls, I wouldn't want to go to a show that was just about balls, I can shop for balls here on KS.
And this show had a wide variety of reptiles. The New Caldonian geckos were awesome, and there was a nice 7-8ft Bredli python. Various bearded dragons, chameleons, GTP, rainbow, of course the burms, tics, bloods and boas. There's one table alone that has a great selection of monitor-type lizards, turtles and amphibians.
Please, while the show may not be what it once was, don't discourage others from going... It's that type of pr that really effects a shows patronage, and thus the vendors willing to attend.
I, for one, will probably be back on Sunday to enjoy the sights and talk with local herpers... to me, that's the whole reason for going.
