Re: First expo tomorrow!
Bargin, haggle, low ball. I've never paid full price at a show. Shows are great, I go to most in my area even if I don't plan on getting anything. What are you hoping to find?
P.S. I suggest after the show, for safety reasons, clothes straight in the washer and a good shower.

I had already told hubby that we are NOT to touch our animals till after we shower, etc...LOL...
as far as looking for something, I would like to find a good deal on a GTP or a nice sand boa morph...maybe a hognose or milk morph...I have stuff I can throw together at a moments notice to sustain any of those until more permanent enclosures can be made or purchased...those are the 4 i am most interested in...but I'm not getting anything unless its a really good deal..I have been "shopping" online checking prices...so I refuse to get ripped off...LOL

Re: First expo tomorrow!
Im going to the Atlanta Repticon expo tomorrow. Hope to find a great deal on an albino bull or other pit snake. If not I'll contact a private breeder next week. Good luck with your search Sharlynn. Hope we both have great stories to share tomorrow.

Re: First expo tomorrow!
I would love to go to Repticon...too far for me...this one is just south of Pittsburgh...I watched some videos they did of some past expos and hoping they have some of the nice things they had in those videos...and that the prices aren't outrageous...good luck EL-Ziggy!

Is it a 2 day show? I've always got the best deals the last hour on the second day, they'd rather not pack them in the truck. Good luck, take photos to post up for us. Stick to your guns on prices. I figure out how much I'd like to get off the asking price, double it and start there(lots of room to negotiate).
There's a show here next weekend, not sure ill go as I'm getting a snake on Tuesday. I'm hoping my dad decides to take my little brother and invites me( don't have to pay for gas, it's 2+ hours away). When I was my brothers age(10) he'd have no choice, I'd bug him too much.

Re: First expo tomorrow!
its only a 1 day show...but since it starts at 9am and is 3 hrs away, by the time we get there it will probably be lunchtime...so if we wander around and wait till close to the end we may be able to do some haggling...LOL

He is still your dad. Keep bugging him. He will enjoy your company.

This!
First rule of expo- Never bring more cash than you are planning on spending, and leave your ATM card at home.
Have fun!
