The Carolina Reptile & Exotic Animal Show May 2-3

Squamata Serpentes
The Carolina Reptile & Exotic Animal Show
May 2 & 3, 2009
10AM - 5 PM
Exposition Bldg, NC State Fairgrounds
Raleigh, NC

Anyone going? I might if I have off work that week. Probably won't be much new stuff but some breeders tart early, you never know!
 
Not to generalize, but the May show always seems to be the leftovers -- which can be good if some of the leftovers are what you are looking for, or if a breeder has head-started some yearlings. Even still, I've noticed vendors don't deal as much in May -- maybe because they don't have the stock they will soon have in Sept. (i.e lots of babies).

Yet, on the Saturday of the show, you can still make a day out of it:
(1) Go to the show from 9am-12pm
(2) Attend the cannabis rally at the State Capitol from 12-4pm
(3) Go to the beer festival at Moore Square from 4-8pm
(4) Go home, go out, or pass out from 8-?

The following show always impresses (b/c Jeff Mohr will be there :sidestep:)
I may have too many leftovers this year, so I may vend at that show if I find someone to split a table with.

Either way, a day in NC is better than a day anywhere else, and while the May show may not be as good as the Aug/Sept show, it's still better than a lot of other shows (see Richmond).
 
I plan on being there. I got my hypo lavender or opal there in May of last year. I got a really good deal. Seems the vendor didn't know what they had. I think both shows are a must since some vendors aren't there in the fall. Last year LLL reptile had anything you could want (basic level). Yes I too will miss Jeff but I am going to make the best of it on Saturday May 2nd.
 
Sorry you guys will miss me but I don't have anythign to bring.....waiting on the new eggs.

Word on the street is there is a Charlotte Show in the fall. I'll be there for sure. Not sure about Raleigh in the fall...it is a week after Daytona. Plus, last year they stuck me in the corner and I didn't make very good sales....was not worth the driving and hotels...that is for sure.
 
Heck if you bring some of those sunkissed....... and those lava............ I'll pay for the hotel stays in Raleigh with a few purchases. lol

I'm definitely not doing Raleigh in the fall because of Daytona, all expenditure will be invested in that for now. Good thing Katie got us some killer rates. I'll be hitting up Raleigh just to see, never know might get something good and the drives not too bad for me.

Then of course there is the beer...heh
 
Well you guys missed a pretty good show-- picked up 1.1 golddust that were problem feeders for $15/each. Got them to eat that night ;) Also scored a 3,000 gm BP female for $100. Anyone going to the show in Charlotte?? I'll be there! Tiffany
 
Yep Jeff I know you'll be there and thanks to crousecorns I'm hoping to be one of the first to your table ;) Wish Mike and Jenn could come but they are trying to close on a house. See you guys there!
