Anyone is southeast Texas planning to go to this? I'm going to take my camera and leave all my cash at home (lol).

My next venue will be the Daytona show in Aug. But I'll look forward to those pics of yours; have fun! :)

Boy was I unimpressed. After going to the Expo back in Sept I was expecting something as big (or at least half as big). There were maybe 10 tables in a small room. Lots of dragons and scorpions. Mostly a few ball pythons. A carpet python, 2 rat snakes and a table full of tiny corn snakes. A couple of boa and burms but we went around the room twice and still got out in under 20 minutes. And that was with my husband chatting to a few vendors. Sorry I didn't take any pics. When I stepped in the room I didn't even pull the camera out.

But afterwards we went to Pets a Plenty/Ultimate Reptile shop which wasn't too far from where we were at. We figured at least we could always go and see some reptiles there. They had beautiful snakes as usual. They had a beautiful Spider Ball and a Spotted Python that was so reasonably priced I wouldv'e gotten it if I thought it wouldn't grow bigger than we could home.

But for those who have been there before - a bit of sad news. They are taking out The Green Room. A lot of the snakes in there are already at other locations and the rest will go to their Hockley location or out in the main room. Kind of sad. We had our son't birthday party in there a couple of years ago and he loved it. He even got to feed their Caymon.

One day I'll go to the Arlington show. I've heard that's a big one. Sorry, that's the "big" review.
