Just wondering if anyone has been to one of these before, going to this one, know if it's worth going to?

Thanks

I hear that they are just for entertainment purposes only (children and family thing) and not really much for breeders or true herpers...

Hey, who knows though? It may be really cool no matter what!

I went to a show down there several years ago while visiting my nephew. The time I went it was very small and consisted mainly of bird breeders, very few herps. Wasn't worth it to me. However it could be different now with the explosion of herpers in the past few years. Good luck and have fun, Ron

I shared a booth with a friend last year...It was ok. Seemed to be mostly families trying to decide on their first reptile. Last year was nicer than previous years, they put it into a larger building so it was a lot nicer atmospher. You had room to look around and wern't always tring to get around people to see displays. It's no Anaheim Show, compares more to reptile shows at the LA County Fairgrounds, maybe a little smaller(not sure, that last LA show I went to was small.)
Atleast it's a day out talking to other herpers, I might take the kids and hang out for awhile we will see.

Yeah - I didn't expect it to be no Anaheim or anything - but thought it might be fun to take the boys to. May go hang out for a few hours. Maybe pick up a bird (LOL).

Thanks!
