I'm not going, but I went several times (although that was several years ago).
When I went it was *the* show to go to in the region. It is very large with lots of interesting things to see.

Are there a lot of Chams? I didn't see too many vendors listed that I know of that carry chams other than a handful.

I might go but I'm not sure how far it is from Hershey, I'll have to check.

i actually used to vend there!
the last few times ive gone there have been little to no chameleons.
years ago though there were usually at least 3 other vendors selling it was very competitive, i usually got mine sold cause they were "fatter" or "larger" which makes sense because they were probably older
i'm the only one i ever saw selling CB panthers and adults that were in good to excellent condition.
you'll generally see people that dont specialize in chams selling the adults, and anything other than the basic veiled, panther or jacksons. sometimes theyre in good condition too many times theyre in poor condition. sitting in plain tanks with a twig to hold onto.
theres a guy in a wheelchair that makes some nice chameleon cages though, screen with shelves, and tupperware bottoms. never bought any though, a good chunk of the 500' roll of black metal screen is still in my basement XD
overall its a good show, but like i said last couple times its been a bit dull tho, for me at least.
i may be showing up for some feeders and to see if they have anything new or exciting.
theyre pretty big on the venomous there too. which are always cool to look at.
im just outside of philly and its like a 45 min drive for me

You should be a little less than an hour away! I usually go for the feeders and supplies. There are never many chams there. I almost came home with an Arctic Fox puppy years ago, though. You know, anything goes in PA!

Really, Arctic Fox at a reptile show? That's crazy. I could get you a red fox pup from my backyard....they are all over the place here and they seem to be getting less and less afraid of people.

Yea, it was about 7 years ago. There are things in Hamburg besides reptiles. Mostly feeders - but I look at the quails, chicks, and ducklings more as future pets than feeders! And thanks for the offer - but no foxes for me! It's just that they were SO cute.

I unfortunately purchased one of such chams in a fish tank a couple years back. If I see one in rough shape I'll basically haggle to the point I can get it cheap enough to take it home and try to get it better. Too many of these "breeders" just buy WC and put them on display.
