What would you guys like to see at reptile shows?
I've been going to shows since I was a little kid. I remember so much more diversity at shows; now it seems 80% of the table space at shows are either ball pythons, Leo geckos, beardies, redtails, or created geckos. What would you guys like to start seeing at shows?

Re: What would you guys like to see at reptile shows?
Asian colubrids, Aussie pythons, and other assorted various species from around the globe. Heck, even some of the anolis subspecies are absolutely incredible, and I'd LOVE to see more of those widely available.

Re: What would you guys like to see at reptile shows?
It's funny i had originally put in my post that I'd like to see Aussie pythons, and Asian colubrids; but removed it to not influence people's answers. Just funny that's the first thing someone says. Are the florida shows still like they used to be? I'm originally from boynton beach, but now live in NC. The reptile community is WAYYY different up here, but it isnt as regulated nowadays.

Re: What would you guys like to see at reptile shows?
Everybody complains about what sells but no one does a thing about it. They always want someone else to do it so they can just SEE the diversity at a show. Most people won't actually buy.
If you want to see cool stuff, buy it/import it, raise it up and breed it and get a table. Get 2 friends to buy a different species each and split a table. Nobody wants to put the time and effort into doing something different.

Re: What would you guys like to see at reptile shows?
Isn't that what everyone buys? Why wouldn't they bring what people buy? They do what everyone else does that's runs a buisness, try and make money. They have other reptiles but just not as much because they know only a select few will buy them. I have no problem with what vendors bring because I understand the buisness side of it.

Re: What would you guys like to see at reptile shows?
I understand why there are so many of the animals I've mentioned. But I constantly hear from the vendors(around me I can't speculate on other parts of the country) that sell mostly balls that sales arnt what they were even 2 years ago. For a small home based breeding op I'd imagine with the over capitalization of said species that less common animals would be there logical progression. Now keep in mind I have no knowledge of how to run a business, nor do I on predicting the changes in the market.

Most people don't know how to care for those other species or want to put the work into it.
