FL Repticon Show - Manatee Convention

[Sunshine State Exotics]

Has anyone done this show? Does anyone plan on doing it?

I'm thinking about doing it and want to get a feel for how it usually turns out.

hey larry, I ve been to but havent done the show. its not that big of a show. its not that bad if your local, maybe worth it. Id check it out first

 

[Sunshine State Exotics]

I'm local, so I may try it. The tables are real cheap too. I have a lot of lower end leos I need to move. They usually move real well at shows.

 

[malt_geckos]

I think more people need to show at it. There are lots of customers usually but very few vendors.

 

[Sunshine State Exotics]

I think I'm going to give it a try. You guys are going to have to come by and say hi. I didn't see you at Tampa this year.

 

[T&KBrouse]

I was thinking about vending this year. Are they more geared towards pet keepers rather than breeders?

 

[loepardgeckoboy]

We didn't go to Tampa this year. We really wanted to but the money was tight and gas was crazy!!!! I'll talk to Matt and see if he wants to go. We are going to try and vend next year at Tampa and repti-con shows. :main_yes:

I would say it leans more towards reptiles but there are vendors for pets...mainly rodents.

Wow... I must have been suffering from really bad grammar that day. (Comes with being old, I guess)
What I meant was, is it a show more geared toward pet reptiles rather than higher dollar morphs that breeders would be looking for? ($50 animal vs. $500 animal)

 

[Sunshine State Exotics]

I haven't been to this particular show. However, these shows usually attract more pet buyers than high end morph buyers. Although, you can usually still find nice morphs at these shows.

I'm still undecided, but if I do this show, I'll be bringing lower end leos. I'll have lots of boas and ball pythons too.

Im going to go just to go, I was thinking about it just wont have anything to sell really. not enough for a table. but may do orlando. mallorie and matt we should go for BBQ

 

[malt_geckos]

I would say it's gearded toward lower and middle end geckos. Things up to $150.00 I think.

We will be there Sunday. We have our egagement party Saturday. Yes Nick, we should go for BBQ!

 

[727geckokid]
