what morph of leo u gonna look for?

 

[Bling_my_leo]

I am not sure. I may look for a bell or a jungle. Not sure though..

Woo hoo!

Have you been to a show before?

 

[blightedchemist]

have fun at the show! you will be on sensory overload at first so i would suggest walking around and looking at all the dealers booths and things and critters when you find the gecko of your dreams its hard to say whether or not to get it then and there becuase its certain that there will be more somewhere down the aisle and if you arent sure at first and plan on going back at the end to pick it up theres definetly no guarantee that it will still be there. thats up to your descression. but the amount of things to see, and people to talk to, youll have a ball!

no i would like 2 but id be way 2 temped to buy 1 and the parents wont let me have another 1 bc i alredy have 2 pets and my dad thinks my room smells and he's not a big animal person

 

[Bling_my_leo]

I will make sure to go to all the booths and look at all the diffirent leos up for sale.

I want to get a adult or maybe a really cute baby. Who know, I may be abal to bring home two!!

I have already started saving up, I hope to take at least $175 with me to the show...

Can't wait!!!

Reptile Shows are alot of fun. There are alot of people and reptiles. I always walk around first and look at everything. I then go back to the booths where I saw reptiles I liked. If you find what you want and pay for them, if you keep the reciet the vender will hold it for you untill you are ready to leave.

Have fun! I really enjoy going to shows. Make sure you take your time! And be sure that the vendor knows what they are talking about. Ask lots of questions!
Good luck and have fun!

my dad thinks my room smells

HAHA mine too! but that was when I had the dogs, chinchillas, rats, and all the reptiles in my room. I've since moved nearly all of them out and into another room. He now claims that room smells.

Anyway. Have fun at your first show. Don't get too worked up in case it sucks. I remember my first show; I was so excited. It was supposed to be huge with TONS of vendors. But only half the people showed up and half the extra stuff couldn't make it. I ended up with 1 AFT and nothing else. I only got her because I wanted to bring something home. Ha.

Definitely walk around and check out everything before you start to purchase. That way you can see what everyone has and maybe someone has something similar than the other guy and its cheaper. Ya know?

I will be selling at this show. It's a smaller show than a lot of the others but a lot of fun. I may be the only person selling leopard geckos exclusively this year, but there are some others as well (a lot of snakes, though). My geckos are generally $25-50 and will all be females and juveniles. My first hatch is due in about 10 days so I don't know what I have yet, but I'm expecting stripes, mack snows, super snows, hybinos and albinos. Please introduce yourself when you come (My table says "Geckcessories" and I also sell gecko pottery that I make).

lol my first show was a small one in a "barn" didnt get anything but a friend bought a cornsnake. they are definitely fun to go to whether you buy anything or not.

 

[Bling_my_leo]

Thanks everyone! I like semi-adult leos. Because I then know that they will become an adult soon. I like bigger reptiles....

So I may look for a baby or a adult. Depends on the prices and health..

 

[Bling_my_leo]

acpart, you will be selling at THIS show that I am going to?

That would be cool if you did!! BTW, I am looking for a female to house with Bling....

 

[Bling_my_leo]

Please introduce yourself when you come (My table says "Geckcessories" and I also sell gecko pottery that I make).
