Does anyone know of any good breeders that will be at the Steel City show in Washington Pa on the 28th? It'll be my first show and I'm currently searching for some new leos so didnt know if anyone had any recommendations?

I'll be there. Make sure you stop by and say Hi!

Thanks for the compliment Thad!

I can't wait until my next reptile show so I can actually introduce myself to people lol! It never occurred to me when I went to the one that was just in Taylor MI that I'd see people from the forums! I wish I could buy more leos! I decided to get my little AFT because I read somewhere that they do slightly better than leos in a smaller enclosure. Toon is in a 15 gal and I put Hugzor in a 10 gal because that's all I had room for. I'd have felt guilty about putting another leo in a smaller tank. I'm weird..

I'm not positive that you can bring your own reptiles in, but it does say on their website *buy*sell*trade*

Hahaha yes spending limits are probably for the best! I only plan on bringing $200, as if I bring more I will take home more pets than I can house! I'm just excited cause this is my first show!

There are geckos under200? I'd have thought it a good chance to double prices. Are there 1000 dollar geckos? That's what I'm looking for.

You can usually find any range of prices at a show depending on the venue. Free to easily over $1000. Most breeders don't take their super high dollar animals to local shows, but you can bet you will see some of them at a national show like NARBC. The Cleveland show we just went to we had animals ranging $25-$300, most under $100. Some of our animals will also be at the next Steel City show at Jim's table. He's a cool guy so anyone who's going to that show should stop by his table.

The Cincinnati and Columbus shows are a bit small

yup, i dont even go to the columbus shows anymore. i dont know where it is now but when it was in the uaw hall it was like trying to stuff 30 people in an elevater that should only have 9 people in it! the cleveland show is super cramped also sometimes, depending on what time usually...but it is pretty busy too. i was there sunday and talked to thad(ohio gecko) for a while, really cool guy with some amazing animals...and the best part is that he only lives ten minutes from me!!! i have talked to him a few times, but untill i got on this forum and then went up there, i did not know that is who he was! lol cool dude though! for real

Rick, it was good to meet you at the show. I read your other thread about getting the boas instead of the geckos. I hope all turns out well, those boas looked insane. Keep in touch and we will see you at the next Cleveland show.

Like I said im taking names so I will be sure to stop by!

I would just really like to see at least one $1,000 gecko just to see what it would look like in person lol Maybe hold it ;) hahaha yea right I would be too afraid of the tail dropping or something like that but it would just be cool to see one (usually they have some amazing patterns and colors at that price) I think!
Im already anxious for saturday!
