[toph427]

I have only been to one reptile expo(Repticon) before I really got into Leos, but bought my first one there. Im going to repticon this weekend in SC and just wanted to know from some of yall who vend at expos prices on certain morphs. If you don't mind could you post some average prices for hatchlings or subadults ofI know prices can vary a lot, I was just wanting an average price range)
SHTCTB
Tang. Enigmas
Tang. het Tremper
RAPTORs or APTORs
Super Snows
Eclipse
Sunglows
Red Stripes

Thanks a lot for your help

It's really hard to say. The prices will vary widely. As a ballpark, I would say plan to spend $100 for a nicer gecko and go through the whole repticon, writing down what you like and how much it costs. Beware of tables that have lots of different species and a few leopard geckos at low prices. Often it's someone who doesn't know much about leos but has gotten a few in trade and is trying to move them cheaply.

Remember at reptile shows or anywhere for that matter, the cheapest gecko is not always the best gecko to buy. Remember you get what you pay for.

We had a situation at our last show that was truly disgusting. A feeder vendor had some cheap geckos, cresteds and leos, they had bought as a group from who knows where. Offering cresteds for $15 and leos for $10. It was just sickening. A lot of dropped tails. They sold some but not many. In talking with other vendors about it, we wanted to buy them out so they couldn't be sold for $10, but were honestly afraid to expose our animals to them in any way. Not mentioning any locations or names but, we were all PO'd! Long story short, buy from the breeder not a seller, you will have a health guarantee As far as a price range, it varies too much to really nail anything down with any kind of accuracy.
