...just like the title says, there is a reptile expo at the Reading, PA expo center this Saturday, January 19. I am planning to head up there early to get some frozen feeders for my snakes and scope out the new animals.

I was wondering who else is planning to go?

Aw, I didn't know about this. Well, Reading is a ways from me, and I'm already probably going to the Hamburg one next month and the Corning one in May, so I guess I don't need a third one to go to.

One can never go to too many reptile shows. ;-)

Yeah but I can't buy anything and Reading is several hours from me. Too much gas money. You going to the Hamburg one?

I've been to the Reading Expo and was not very impressed with it. I'll stick to the Hamburg Expo, it has never let me down.

The one in December was my first one, and I loved it. I can't wait to go back.

Hamburg is a much larger show, with many more vendors. It's always a good time. Yes, I'll be at the February Hamburg; I'm actually helping my friend Matt Miller at his table so I will be there all day.

I am trying to help the Reading/Oaks shows build up to a better level. The facilities are much better than Hamburg (air conditioning in summer, heat in winter), and much less crowded, but a lot of the vendors don't go yet. I'm trying to get word out and get a lot more of the vendors that do Hamburg to come to Oaks and Reading to build those shows up.

One of these days Kim I will make it to an expo you are going to be at... For now I will be going to the Manchester NH expo on the 27th... Hopefully I will run into at least 1 person from the forum there. Seems as there aren't many from my neck of the woods on the forum.... Have only ever met one person so far.
