Re: What would you guys like to see at reptile shows?
I'm with Starbuck on this one. I'm new to this hobby/obsession and I've only been to one Repticon show. While it was neat to see so many Ball Python, Sand Boas, Bearded Dragons, and Geckos, it got very boring very fast. I was hoping to see more colubrids, especially milk snakes and I saw exactly three in the entire show. I'll probably give it one more chance later this fall, but if it's a repeat performance, that will be the last show for quite a while. I certainly understand breeders wanting to bring what the public wants which appears to be Ball Pythons and Bearded Dragons, but if I were displaying at the show, I'd make sure I diversified my displays if for no other reason than to stand out from the other displays and perhaps getting some folks to try some different breeds to expand my target audience.
