I've gone to the Indy show 5 times in the last year. I went to the one yesterday and it was fairly dead, but I guess you can't expect too much this time of year. The spring and summer shows are usually much busier, venders and crowd wise. I can say that the 3 times I went there looking for a specific species I was able to find it. So I would say it is hit and miss but the summer would be your best bet for a good variety.

I've been to the Indy show about every month for the past year and a half. This time of year it's a bit smaller, but is starting to pick up. The big show is in August. If you're looking for corns you'll find them! If you're making a long drive I'd suggest waiting for the August show - or maybe going to the June or July shows.

Thank you all, I'm planning on going to the Indy show next month and I'll probably manage to go througout the summer and to the August show as well.
The Valpo show is this weekend, and though it's a lot closer (only an hour away) I'm trying to find out if it's worth going. Thus far I haven't found anyone from these forums that have went to that one.

I haven't been to either. I was planning to go to the January Indy show but the weather kept me home. Schedule premitting I'll be at the Feb. show to buy some bulk frozen mice or my corn and a few friends snakes.
