Looking online makes stock from breeders all across the country available, rather than just those nearby

The UK is really small, so pretty much every UK breeder is "local", but in the US there's a lot of ground to cover
That said, a lot of the biggest breeders should be at the con anyway. Quite often breeders do the majority of their sales at cons, so they travel quite a lot to get to as many cons as they can. If you don't find exactly what you're looking for there, then talk to the breeders that are there anyway and ask them for info on other sources, or find out if they have stock that they didn't bring. Shipping reptiles can cost a lot, so if you can get something at the con it'll be worth the savings.
