Hi there:

I went to this show in August in search of rat snakes, which I did find indeed! (I left with a 4' yellow * Everglades intergrade). There will be a huge variety there, and just about everything is available. In some ways it is like a junk sale, because you will find many old beaten up gages and supplies of all sizes for sale, as well as books, pictures and one-of-a-kind memorabillia.
Believe me, you should also go if you want to see some characters! There are lots of categories of herper there, believe me! What is it your looking for?

Thanks for the reply. I usually go to the Monroeville Pa show because it is only 30 minutes away, but I wanted to try some other shows and Columbus is the next closest.

On my wish list is:
1. A pair of Crested Geckos
2. A yellow or white female for my beardie
3. A Panther Cham

I put them in that order because I currently have an open cage for the cresties. A female for Joker would be good, but I would have to build another shelving unit to hold her cage. Chams are my true favorite, the only time I saw a panther at the Pa show I didn't have the money to get one (thanks to a speeding ticket and a certain husband).

Hi there:

OK, going to the All Ohio Show to get a crested gecko is like going to Ponderosa to get a steak. You'll find cresteds all over. I guarantee they'll have them.
Same goes for beardies. I don't know about morphs, but you're sure to find females, young and old, roaming across the tabletops, piled up under lamps and scurrying in tubs.
As for the panther chameleon, I really don't know. I only saw Jackson's and Veilds the last time, but like I said, ther's a lot of variety!
This is a great place to get deals on decor and cages. For $10 I saw a 30-gallon old-style reptile cage with lights. Don't be suprised if some of the stuff is old and messed up.
This is really one you shouldn't miss!

Hi there:

If you get hungry, it's well worth taking only a short detour to Mt. Victory Ohio to eat at a restaurant called the plaza inn. There, at the buffet, you can get all of the Alaskan walleye you can eat for only $6.95. It comes with fresh salads, homemade mashed potatoes and gravy etc. You'll love it!

It's the only one I go to, being less than half an hour away, but I am told that it is one of the better shows. As the other poster asked, "What are you looking for?" There will be variety and value, in my opinion. And this time of year there will be lots of babies at decent prices. And characters??? Well, I'll be there since I need to buy lots of micicles and ratcicles.
