Richmond Va SHOW

[Artemis]

Ok ok so its not till the end of October. But Im psyched and I was curious to see if anyone on here would be there, though I know its unlikely since most of you are in Canada. Also- this will be my first show, so what can I expect? Should I bring a wad of cash or do these vendors have little credit card slidey things? Are there any "scary breeder/vendor" red flags to watch for?

Anyone other than me gonna be there?

Hi, I normally go to pick up frozen rodents in bulk. Bring cash, as some vendors may not have credit card machines. The ATM was broken while I was there last time also. Cash in hand can be a powerful bargaining tool! Last year I dashed in at the end of the day on Sunday and only bought feeders (160.00 worth!). There were a few nice snakes that caught my eye, but my will was strong ;). What types of reptiles are you looking for? I saw lots of Boas, Kings, Corns, and other ratsnakes (no Asians though which is most of what I keep). It's usually a great place to pick up books too.

i really want to go to the Richmond show but i'll prolly end up going to Railgh, NC show instead...but i might so anyway since they're like a month apart, and by then i can drive myself...lol...anyway i guess i've rambled long enough...

[snakefein]

Ill be there ive been looking forward for it for a long time now :D

[snakehunter]

We should org. a time and place to meet. I MIGHT be there, not too sure

[Artemis]

Heck yeah- it will be fun. But I need a ssnakess.com t-shirt so I can take those mysterious headless pictures everyone always takes of the shows ;)

Seriously, Im not sure what Im looking for just yet- still have a little time to decide, though. The thing I want most is an albino ball python, honestly, and female... and that would be a LOT of cash in hand. It also will depend on how pliable my husband will be about me buying things, but it's in the cards for me Im sure of it, and Id go even if I dont buy, just to see!

Seriously, if anyone is interested in organizing something, shoot me a PM, i'd dig it.

And snakefein, Im in Christiansburg. Not far from you at all.

Thats cool artemis that makes 3 of us around here in this part of Va. i have a question for you do you know of any breeders around here i am having a hard time finding any i would really appreciate it if you could tell me of some if you know of any

[Artemis]

Well, in terms of Breeders of all kinds of animals, none that i know of, but there are some who work with specific species in this area. Are you looking for anything in particular?

[snakefein]

im looking for snakes what all kinds of them do you know that are breed around here

[Artemis]

Lots of Boa and python subspecies, (emerald boas, blood pythons and carpet pythons, to name a couple specifically I know are around) and a ton of colubrids. If you are looking for something else specific I could check around.

[snakefein]

cool do you know how much the boas and pythons run from those breeders
