selling at exotic shows?

[HomeBreeder]

I imagine this is too general a question for a one size fits all type of answer, but any specifics would still be very handy to know about... here's the qestion:

What do you need to sell at exotics shows?

Obviously every show is going to have some rules and regs but, are there broad comonalities? or specific states or shows that are more "trouble" or less? what about transporting your exoitcs between states? any pre-planning generally done or regulations to be aware of?

Thanks!

Know all the federal, state and local laws. If all your selling are Corns you'll only need to be concerned with State and local law. If you keep your snakes in deli-cups all the time you'll only need to box them up and go to the show. It's best to use an insulated container to transport them that way you avoid large rapid temperature changes. I have a check list of 25 things or more that I take with me (not going to type it here). Take everything you can to make your display as professional looking as possible. Pain relievers are the most important thing to take. You'll most likely have a headache before the day is over. IMHO
