Hello!
Either you have not registered on this site yet, or you are registered but have not logged in. In either case, you will not be able to use the full functionality of this site until you have registered, and then logged in after your registration has been approved.
Registration is FREE, so please register so you can participate instead of remaining a lurker....
Please note that the information requested during registration will be used to determine your legitimacy as a participant of this site. As such, any information you provide that is determined to be false, inaccurate, misleading, or highly suspicious will result in your registration being rejected. This is designed to try to discourage as much as possible those spammers and scammers that tend to plague sites of this nature, to the detriment of all the legitimate members trying to enjoy the features this site provides for them.
Of particular importance is the REQUIREMENT that you provide your REAL full name upon registering. Sorry, but this is not like other sites where anonymity is more the rule.
Also your TRUE location is important. If the location you enter in your profile field does not match the location of your registration IP address, then your registration will be rejected. As such, I strongly urge registrants to avoid using a VPN service to register, as they are often used by spammers and scammers, and as such will be blocked when discovered when auditing new registrations.
Sorry about all these hoops to jump through, but I am quite serious about blocking spammers and scammers at the gate on this site and am doing the very best that I can to that effect. Trust me, I would rather be doing more interesting things with my time, and wouldn't be making this effort if I didn't think it was worthwhile.

Northeast Ohio Reptile Expo June 23rd
http://www.freewebs.com/reptileexpo/
Is anyone planning on attending/vending? Its a couple hours away for me but looks like it is going to be quite a bit larger than our monthly Columbus show. They don't have a vendor list or any real info on it though...

Bumping this up. Does anyone have more info on this show. I am interested, however it will be a three hour drive if I go. I have made long drives to "expos" that end a bust with maybe a dozen vendors. So is there anyone with more inside info. (vendor's attending, etc.) I'm wondering as there is very little advertising or buzz for this show.
Thanks.

I drove three hours and I was a vendor. I thought it was worth it. It picked up around 10 then died down then picked up again. For a first show it was a great one IMO. SOme vendors did ok others did great.
Not all vendors showed up though. You can not fault the person running it or the vendors that did show up.
All in all I am looking forward to the next show.

Was there a good diversity at least or mostly venomous? How many vendors were there?

If I had to guess. 7 vendors with hots. and maybe 30 vendors with nonvenomous. There may have been more but there was about 10 to 15 empty tables. Many vendors haveing 2 and 3 tables.
Hots that I seen.
Mojave Rattle Snakes. I ended up with them all and sold one of them. lol
Eastern Diamond Backs
Western Diamond backs
Monacle Cobras LOTS OF THEM. Buddy Shawn had a lot of them. All looked great!
Black and White Spitters
Black Spitters
Gaboon Vipers
Rhino Vipers
Eyelash Vipers
Wagler Vipers Eating F/T meals at that! Almost took them all lol)
Brad had some other type of cobras too but I forget what they were. There was more there. Just posting what I remember off the top of my head.
I am sure the next one will even be better. See it is a two way street. Vendors go but if people are not buying they do one of two things. They slim down what they bring and only bring the things that sell GREAT or stop going. And if vendors are not there the die hards customers stop going. So this show needs a little of both. Give it time it will even get better. Will is doing everything he can to make this thing go. He spent a lot of time and money in advertising.
I will talk to Will about his site. I will see if I can get it going where he has a vendors list. And ways to contact this vendors for the customers so that you can even request things you would like to see.
Guys remember this was a first show. And it turned out great i have seen shows that have been around for a year or two that did not do this well. It will only get better and that makes me very happy

It was a very nice little local show that probably will do well if the 30 or so vendors stick with it.But for me it was the nightmare on elm street ! I didn't sell 1 animal after traveling 2 hr.+ so more than likly I won't go back .
