As far as reptile shows/expos in N.S, or all Atlantic Canada, there is none.
I think most people feel reptiles/ herpers are few and far between in N.S., but there is alot of us here.
Most of my friends have no interest in joining forums, and there is more old schoolers around here.
They love their herps, just not interested in computers,lol.
There isn't any pet store's that deal in reptiles only, but most [ like any other], will have a few reptiles for sale.

If you're interested in meeting local herpers, check out the N.S.H.S, or A.C.R.O.

oh how im beginning to miss home...hahahah. im thinking we should start to do something about the lack of reptiles and shows or even stores. it would just take alot of work. steelnink where abouts do you live???

Lunenburg, on the South shore.
I'm about 2hours away from Halifax.

I hear ya on the lack of shows, what can ya do.
I've spoken to many local breeders about putting on a reptile show/sale, not many think it would have a good turn-around..

what kind of snake breeders are around here?

What are you looking for?

Most of the established breeders in my area deal with corns, ratsnakes, kings,etc.If geckos are your thing, you'll find no shortage of great breeders producing some killer looking animals.
Some friends are going to breed their coastal carpets, bci's, and bcc's this season, hopefully all goes well.

Check out atlantic reptiles, alot of the members are breeders of different species.

I would recommend visiting PRO REPTILES site, crazy looking animals, and Sean is top-notch, a great guy to deal with.
