The Repitcon show and FIRE expo are 2 different shows. The FIRE Expo is put on by World Herp Expos and the Repticon is put on by Repticon. The FIRE show is this weekend and is suppose to be a whole lot bigger than the repticon show. The next repticon in Orlando is not until October.

I hit the FIRE show today, and I would not say it was all the much bigger than the Tampa show. I am guessing but probably 50 vendors, not a whole lot in the way of Leo's. I was able to score 5 females myself, but had to hold myself back from buying more. There were 2 vendors that had nothing but Leo's, and there were a handle that had some babies, but nothing out of this world.

is it not worth going to?

Well it depends on what you are looking for. If your just going to pick up only Leo's I would say no. I did not see any of the higher end morphs there. I was able to score a Adult F Raptor from a vendor who took it in on a trade, and just wanted to get rid if it. The vendor I got my 4 other Leo's from had alot of babies, which most vendors to, but he had probably a dozen or so Adult Males left. I bought up most of his Adult females. I got 2 Murphy Pattenless, the Raptor, Blizzard, and a Rainwater. I also picked up 2,000 mealworms for $12.00.

for trade? You meant you brought your own geckos to trade?

I have 2 Male SHT het Albino and 66% Raptor...should I bring these to trade for maybe some younger?

No they won't let you in with your own stuff. I ment the vender had taken it in on a trade, they were only selling ball pythons, but had the single Leo.
