Hamburg, PA - the Northern Berks, and the Northwestern Berks show, both held at the field house. The next one is Sept 8 (I have no idea if that is within two hours of your zipcode, but I suspect it is)

There's also the Lititz, PA show (Lancaster)...But I'm guessing they've now canceled it indefinitely?

If you're looking for a nice show to go to and don't mind the drive, MARS is coming up next month in Timonium, MD.

Hamburg is crowded, dark & dirty.

A reptile show isn't the place to "socialize" any reptile. Shows can be hectic, loud and stressful for an animal. Some shows allow owners to bring their pets (I personally think they shouldn't) and most don't allow it.

Most shows do not allow patrons to walk around with uncontained animals (though it is regularly seen, unfortunately). The general policy, is that one does not bring animals to the show unless you are a) a vendor, or b) bringing them to a vendor. (Frequently, people will meet at shows to deliver purchased animals to eliminate the need for shipping & allow for inspection).

Keep in mind that not everybody that attends these shows is actually a fan of reptiles. It has become something akin to a trip to the zoo, and some people are actually very much afraid of the animals they see. For those people, it is one thing to have them enclosed & on display, but it is quite another to see one looking them in the face while they are standing in an aisle.
Also, as you mentioned, there can be a lot of bumping. It is stressful to the animal, AND it creates the risks of injury and escape.
In short, leave your savannah monitor at home.

I hate it when people walk around a snake and scream out "ewwwww"
As for you Sav. , I don't think you really have to bring her. You can find a mate for her... without her.

You should not own reptiles.

And you damn sure should not be bumping every thread in the monitor discussion forums trying to give people advice or information.
