it's suppose to be the biggest show on the west coast but i think the pomona IRBA show was bigger. there seemed to be alot of bearded dragons! we did pick up 500 cickets and 100 mealworms for $8.

Dennis-
I was there also and it was small! Nothing there really but snakes and bearded dragons. Amazing blue chameleons booth was okay. The best thing I saw was the male parson that lost world had on display, not sure if that was a smart thing to do but I enjoyed watching it. I bought some feeders for a good price. In all it was not worth $8 less the $1 coupon for a total of $7 to get in. I broke even if I was to have feeders shipped to me. I was there for a little under 2 hours, had plans to spend the hole day but nothing there to see!

john my wife said that was the most expensive cricket run we have done so far, admission,crickets and meal worms ran us just about $30 for the 1 hour we were there. amazing blue did have some nice chameoleon. we were able to see the guy there feed the chameleon on the left a silky, that was cool and the kids like it. i don't think i'll be going back to the sandigo show though, i'm pretty sure pomona was bigger i think..and closer lol.

I am glad I didn't take the drive from LA area to San Diego to see the show. I am hoping the one in Pomona next month will be decent since that one is alot closer...

Just my opinion, but all that crap at columbas, Ohio,would keep even legit dealers away.The feds took out good with the bad there.
Go to Fauna and see for yourself.KS only gave an overview,butit is ugly there, and that is only the beginning.many people lost legal animals. Well,enought from me, But people HAVE to pay att.
or we are going to be raising cats!!!!!

The IRBA show at Pomona in December of last year was much better than that(most people are running low on animals in December too.
$8 parking lot $8 ticket and $10 gas 
I did pick up a couple of R.Brevicadatus though, from LLL of course, but they are always in stock.
