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.

Central PA Reptile Expo, Carlisle, PA March 21 2009
Anybody been to it yet?
Is it better than it seems, or is it pretty much, what you see is what youget by the website?
Compare it to say, Hamburg and Havre De Grace Maryland?
Just trying to find out if it's worth the trip or not
I'm maybe.. 3 hours in good traffic I think.
Let's hear it!

It is not as big as Hamburg, and it is alot bigger then Havre a Disgrace. The venue has a lot to offer. My personal opinion is that it is a nice show, and I think it is well worth going to.

I've been there for both shows (October and January) if that helps any, and will be there next week as well
The show is still what some consider small, but we are growing quickly. Although there are not as many vendors as Hamburg (yet), we have a GREAT variety of a little bit of everything there. Also remember that not all of our vendors choose to be listed on the website for various reasons, so the website is more of a "what you see is what you get, plus a few," if that makes sense.
The show has the potential to have 171 tables PLUS the Turtle Xing section, so once we get big, we will be BIG! We already fill just about 1/2 of those tables.
According to Mapquest, you are more like 1 hour 45 mins from the show, so maybe that will help as well. I used to live over in Oxford for awhile, so when you said 3 hours, I thought it sounded a bit much...Here's the link I pulled up.

Hope it helps, and hope to see you there!

I was looking over their website and was a little bumbed they didn't allow venamous, or even venamoid animals. I don't personally keep them, but I love to check them out at the shows and in my head I would love to get a venemoid albino monical cobra one day
I think we're deffinetly intending on making the trip to check it out
Happy Saint Paddy's Day!
