first expo. questons

[martinez2828]

So this weekend me and my friend will be attending are first reptile expo (repticon) because we heard that they have really good deals but we're wonder how good? Howuch would a ten gallon cost? (used or new doesn't matter) Also what about a UTH? And lastly my friend will be getting his first Leo there so we were wonder about howuch would a baby leopard gecko cost? Nothing fancy probaly just a normal but about how much would it cost?? Thank you

Most Expo's I have gone to don't often sell tanks, someone may be selling higher end enclosures but not normally at much of a discount.

As for Leos I have seen normals at expos go for like $15, I got a nice bold stripe juvi for $40 at the last one we had here. You will probably see prices from $10- $100 + just depends on what you are looking for.

Petsmart 1 dollar a gallon sale! Most of the tanks at shows I've seen are custom made and pricey.

Thank you but what about heat pads?

Thank you but what about heat pads?

I have never seen them at any expo I have been to but I guess it's possible. Pretty much all I have normally seen are reptiles and feeders.

The expo I go to had the heaters and if I remember correctly tanks too. Hmmm I don't know if it really was a good deal to get them there. But there were a lot of supplies. I think the little heat pad I got was $14 or so and a little on the small side for my 20 gallon long tank.

the reptile convos by me are good, and its smart to stock up on supplies there. everything in stores by me is literally 30% if not higher than what i pay at the hamburg pa one <supply wise> and the animals are amazingly priced too. the vendors are traveling a long way sometimes with lots of live stock, sometimes they are really priced to sell and it leads to amazing deals.

I purchased an adult female mack snow for $50 at the last local show I attended.

I find all the supplies, feeders, and animals I could want/need at expos. Everything from enclosures to UTHs to thermo/rheostats.

Any expo I've been to have tanks and supplies. It just depends on how big the expo is and what vendors are going. (I only go to large expos with a lot of vendors).
I got high quality geckos for about $50 each - but I got a discount due to how many I bought.

The local shows here you can pick up a ten gallon with top for 20 and a heater to go with it around twenty
