Anyone going to the New England Reptile Expo?

I was wondering who might be going to the Expo in Manchester, NH next weekend (April 11). Here's a link: http://www.reptileexpo.com/nefirst.htm

I've never been to a NE expo, so I was also wondering if someone has some idea about what reptiles, and reptile supplies I might be able to find there? For example, will there possibly be some feeder insects available there? It should be fun!

I will be there! Can't wait!

 

[radstusky]

Me too! Have you been there before? I don't think it is a huge show, but since it's in NH, I guess there might be some chams there. My son is thinking of getting a Jacksons.

Any of our sponsors going to this show?

Yea, it's not huge, but it's slot of fun! Not sure about chams, I talked to lll reptile and they will be there! Hope they bring chams!

Some pics from the NE Expo!

I took my kids to the show and we loved it! So many cool herps and inverts to see! Of course they were asking me to buy them everything under the sun. In the end I came home with some banana roaches, and some Drosophila and excelsior for my mantids that should be hatching out any day now.

My take on the show is that it is definitely a great place to get feeders. I'm pretty well stocked up at the moment so I didn't get many. Also if you plan to get a reptile it's best to get there early since obviously the best herps get bought out fast. There were a few chams there; veiled, panthers, jackson's and one senegal are what I saw. There were some pygmies but they were already sold out.

I didn't think the deals were very good on the cages, lighting etc. You can get that stuff cheaper online! I'm getting set up for my next cham which will be a Jackson's for my son. (well, we'll share of course)

Here are some pictures from the show...

Me & My Friend went, I was very disappointed in the amount of feeders there. There were alot more reps than at the October show. I came home with a new Gargoyle gecko! I always come home with something. The Boyfriend wasn't thrilled but oh well.
