N/P

We went on Sunday this year. The crowd picked up about noon, however there were less vendors and the floor space was smaller, making it very crowded. Someone commented that it was worse (crowded that is) on Saturday.

There were some nice stuff on display and for sale, but solection and the number of vendors was down (my opinion). Need to see if this show will be smaller in the future, I hope not as it is one of the larger ones for us in the Mid Atlantic area....

I'm glad I didn't waste my time. The show last year was smaller than the previous year. So this year it must have been really small. There were a few vendors that I knew would be there and whose animals I wanted to see but I couldn't make the trip

Many of the Marland vendors stayed away this year. Too costly for the return I was told!

a pair of spotted pythons from kim and mark bell. I also picked up a pair of terrapins as well as several books. I really didn't plan on spending anything but I got some really good deals, which I had to search carefully for. I saw a vendor selling some nice quality normal bp's, which was rare.lol.

Otherwise, not only did the number of vendors decrease but their selection was so limited due to the BP craze. I cannot imagine a vendor making as much money selling snakes in the $400 and up price range as a vendor selling cheaper snakes but more of them. Anyway, all I could think of was how the BP morph market will have to soon drop if any of these vendors ever wants to sell their animals. Otherwise I assume that all the BP morph vendors do is trade with one another.

The croud was crazy and after my 3rd lap around the place I was eager to leave.
