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.

Largest/Best U.S. Expo?
I was debating whether or not to jump on a plane for a weekend and check out another states big show. Obviously it would have to be a very large and good expo otherwise I wouldnt be wasting money on a plane ticket/hotel and throwing my weekend down the drain for a lousy expo! So question is: Which show is the largest/best anywhere in the U.S. I live in Orlando so dont say the National Breeders Expo in Daytona, I go to that one every year. I want an expo thats not in FL! 
By the way, are there any shows that are equivalent or bigger than the National Breeders Expo in Daytona (as in size-amount of vendors-etc)?

Yaz, even the Reptile SuperShows on the West coast arent bad. San Diego is a great city to get away for a couple of days too but, its so jam packed in there that its hard to shop. I would recommend the SD show simply because you would be on a mini vacation and its a great city to go to as well.

I would have to agree, although alot of the vendors on the East Coast didn't make it the for Tinley's February dates, it was still pretty decent. Brian puts the NARBC together pretty well... And the auction after the show is good times

I do not think the Reptile super shows are in the same ballpark as Daytona. With that said, you are spoiled that you can go to Daytona every year

I am going to attempt to make it to Daytona this year. Really depends on how I am feeling and if I have some funds to burn on something odd this time around.

Daytona is the one show I've been wanting to go to for years. Once out of debt I'm planning a trip there to see the show. I had always heard it is the biggest in the country.
The IRBA shows in L.A. (SoCal) were always pretty nice and big but that was 12 yrs ago, does IRBA even still put on shows? I would also recommend the San Diego show that Dean is talking about, I believe it's the biggest (or one of the biggest) shows in CA. Plus San Diego is a pretty sweet place to visit and enjoy the Pacific.
On another website pictures were posted of the Chicago ReptileFest which is more educational than commercial, but it looks big and like a lot of fun:
